“…In Finland, this risk was also higher (1.84 times in men and 1.36 times in women) (Pukkala, 1995). In Germany, the incidence risk of stomach cancer was 5.53 times higher among people of low income (the bottom 20%) (Geyer, 2008). The incidence risk of lung cancer, in Italy, was higher among people of low income (1.81 times in men) (Faggiano et al, 1994).…”

Background: Economic status is known to be directly or indirectly related to cancer incidence since it affects accessibility to health-related social resources, preventive medical checkups, and lifestyle. This study investigates the relationship between cancer incidence and family income in Korea. Methods:Using the Korean National Health Insurance cancer registration data in 2009, the relationship between their family income class and cancer risk was analyzed. The age-standardized incidence rates of the major cancers were calculated for men and women separately. After adjusting for age, residential area, and number of family members, cancer risks for major cancers according to family income class were estimated using a logistic regression model. Results: In men, the risk of stomach cancer for Income Class 5 (lowest) was 1.12 times (95% CI 1.02-1.23) higher than that of Income Class 1 (highest), for lung cancer 1.61 times (95% CI 1.43-1.81) higher, for liver cancer 1.22 times (95% CI 1.08-1.37) higher, and for rectal cancer 1.37 times higher (95% CI 1.18-1.59). In women, the risk of stomach cancer for Income Class 5 was 1.22 times higher (95% CI 1.08-1.37) than that for Income Class 1, while for cervical cancer it was 2.47 times higher (95% CI 2.08-2.94). In contrast, in men, Income Class 1 showed a higher risk of thyroid cancer and prostate cancer than that of Income Class 5, while, in women the same was the case for thyroid cancer. Conclusions: The results show the relationship between family income and cancer risk differs according to type of cancer.

“…In Germany, the incidence risk of lung cancer was 2.0 times higher among low-income individuals (the bottom 20%) (Geyer, 2008). However, in Finland, the incidence risk for lung cancer in women in low-income groups was 96% of that of high-income groups, showing an opposite pattern (Pukkala, 1995).…”

“…For some diseases of the GI system, substantial socioeconomic differences have been reported. Lower socioeconomic groups have a higher risk of acquiring a peptic ulcer and stomach and colon cancer (1). Smoking is also a risk factor for peptic ulcer disease (2).…”

“…It may be seen as a serious drawback that the data described is currently only available to health insurance providers and to researchers performing research in cooperation with these health insurance providers (AOK- Bundesverband et al 2007;Bramesfeld et al 2007;Geyer 2008;Grobe et al 2008;Heller et al 2004;Heller 2006;Ihle et al 2005;Müller and Braun 2006;Schubert et al 2007;Swart and Heller 2007;Swart and Ihle 2005). This limited data access is a direct result of the protection of the private data of insured individuals and the involved institutions, such as hospitals.…”

Social inequalities in the incidence and case fatality of cancers of the lung, the stomach, the bowels, and the breast

Abstract: Income and occupational position were associated with cancer incidence with the exception of breast cancer. Apart from lung cancer, case fatalities were unrelated to measures of social differentiation.
