Patterns of age-specific socioeconomic inequalities in net survival for common cancers in Taiwan, a country with universal health coverage

Conclusion Reducing socioeconomic inequality in survival may lead to improvements in survival overall. We should focus on the age groups with large deprivation gaps. Our results are useful for prioritizing cancer sites and age groups for in-depth socioeconomic disparity studies and for proposing interventions for health disparity reductions and net cancer survival improvements.
