Abstract
Converging epidemiological evidence based on studies of different designs in a variety of populations and settings show that cancer survival tends to be poorer in low compared to high socioeconomic groups. In an extension of an earlier register-based study, we examined the influence of socioeconomic factors on long-term survival in women with a first diagnosis of invasive breast cancer in 1993 in Sweden, a country with a policy of providing equal access to health care to all at nominal cost within a National Health Care System.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
