How do age and social environment affect the dynamics of death hazard and survival in patients with breast or gynecological cancer in France?

Marie Poiseuil et al.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of social environment on net survival (NS) in women with breast or gynecological cancer in France, using a relevant statistical approach. The results show that deprivation has a significant effect on NS, with variations depending on the type of cancer studied. The findings could inform targeted actions in the most deprived areas for each cancer type at diagnosis and during follow-up.

On models for the estimation of the excess mortality hazard in case of insufficiently stratified life tables

Francisco J. Rubio et al.

Summary: In cancer epidemiology, regression models for excess mortality hazard are commonly used to estimate cancer survival and describe the association between prognosis factors and excess mortality. However, expected mortality rates from general population life tables may not be sufficiently stratified, leading to potential biases in estimation of regression parameters. Proposed parametric corrections in excess hazard regression models show good statistical performance in simulation studies and are successfully applied to real population-based data of lung cancer patients. Suggestions and limitations for practical use are also provided.

Describing socio-economic variation in life expectancy according to an individual's education, occupation and wage in England and Wales: An analysis of the ONS Longitudinal Study

Fiona C. Ingleby et al.

Summary: The study found that people living in deprived areas have poorer health outcomes, but individual socio-economic status also significantly affects health differentials, especially for men. Health inequalities are strongly related to individual SES as well as area-level deprivation, highlighting the complementary usefulness of these different metrics.

Socioeconomic Environment and Survival in Patients with Digestive Cancers: A French Population-Based Study

Laure Tron et al.

Summary: The study found a negative impact of the social environment on net survival of digestive cancers, especially for esophagus, stomach, bile ducts, colon, and rectum. The research offers new perspectives for addressing social inequalities in digestive cancer survival, highlighting the importance of understanding and targeting key follow-up periods to implementing actions.
