Area Socioeconomic Variations in U.S. Cancer Incidence, Mortality, Stage, Treatment, and Survival, 1975–1999
This monograph analyzes area socioeconomic differentials and trends in incidence, mortality, stage of
disease, treatment, and survival for all cancers combined and for six major cancers (lung, colon/rectum,
prostate, breast, uterine cervix, and melanoma of the skin) by sex and race/ethnicity in the United States.
The analysis of cancer rates and trends by socioeconomic characteristics may shed important light on the
potential contribution of major cancer control efforts such as smoking reduction and cancer screening on
reducing the cancer burden among the various segments of the U.S. population.
The monograph was published in 2003 by the
Surveillance Research Program of the NCI.
