TLDR
A workshop to examine the current evidence and identify research priorities for reducing social inequalities in cancer was convened, with participants identifying 3 research priorities.Abstract:
Social inequalities in cancer are a global problem, as has been well documented in the World Health Organization (WHO)/International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) publication Social Inequalities and Cancer. Inequalities in income, wealth, education, and power disproportionally impact the most disadvantaged individuals, communities, and countries to produce a social gradient in the incidence, survival, and mortality of many cancers both within and between countries. From April 16 to 18, 2018, the IARC convened a workshop to examine the current evidence and identify research priorities for reducing social inequalities in cancer. International and WHO/IARC experts drawn from many different disciplines presented a series of articles to be published in an IARC scientific publication; extensive discussion in subgroups and plenary sessions resulted in participants identifying 3 research priorities.read more

TL;DR: The global scale-up of HPV vaccination and HPV-based screening—including self-sampling—has potential to make cervical cancer a rare disease in the decades to come, and could help shape and monitor the initiative to eliminate cervical cancer as a major public health problem.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe phases of early detection program development, beginning with management strategies required for the diagnosis of clinically detectable disease based on awareness education and technical training, history and physical examination, and accurate tissue diagnosis, and highlight the challenges and opportunities of implementing successful breast cancer early detection programs, and the complex interplay of barriers and facilitators to achieving early detection for breast cancer in real world settings are considered.

Immune-Based Cancer Treatment: Addressing Disparities in Access and Outcomes
Raymond U. Osarogiagbon,Helmneh M. Sineshaw,Joseph M. Unger,Ana Acuna-Villaorduna,Sanjay Goel +4 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss options for a comprehensive approach to prevent and, where necessary, eliminate disparities in access to the clinical trials that are defining the optimal use of immunotherapy for cancer, as well as its safe use in routine care among appropriately diverse populations.

Global cancer transitions according to the Human Development Index (2008-2030): a population-based study
TL;DR: The findings suggest that rapid societal and economic transition in many countries means that any reductions in infection-related cancers are offset by an increasing number of new cases that are more associated with reproductive, dietary, and hormonal factors.

TL;DR: There are concerns that hundreds of thousands of cases may be overdiagnoses — diagnosis of tumors that would not, if left alone, result in symptoms or death.
