'Socioeconomic position and survival after cervical cancer: influence of cancer stage, comorbidity and smoking among Danish women diagnosed between 2005 and 2010

摘要

Background:In an attempt to decrease social disparities in cancer survival, it is important to consider the mechanisms by which socioeconomic position influences cancer prognosis. We aimed to investigate whether any associations between socioeconomic factors and survival after cervical cancer could be explained by socioeconomic differences in cancer stage, comorbidity, lifestyle factors or treatment.
