Concerning inequities exist across the cancer continuum such that people who are the most socially disadvantaged are significantly more likely to be diagnosed with cancers that are preventable, be diagnosed
with cancers at more advanced stages, die from cancers that are typically curable, and receive inadequate cancer treatment. These outcomes are often linked to the compounding effects of stigma, discrimination, and a constellation of other barriers to accessing
care at all points across the cancer continuum. For example, those experiencing poverty are significantly less likely to be seen by an oncologist after a cancer diagnosis and less likely to receive cancer treatment. Ground in the concepts of health equity
and social justice, this presentation will highlight ongoing research on how inequities manifest in the cancer care sector, some of the root causes of these inequities, recommendations for integrating an equity-oriented approach into the design and delivery
of cancer services.
