Gac Sanit. 2020 Jul 13;: Authors: Luque-Fernández MÁ, Redondo-Sánchez D, Fernández P, Salamanca-Fernández E, Marcos-Gragera R, Guevara M, Carulla Aresté M, Jiménez R, Núñez O, Sabater C, López de Munain Marqués A, Chirlaque MD, Mateos A, Rodríguez-Barranco M, Espín Balbino J, Pollán M, Sánchez MJ Abstract Incidence and mortality provide information on the burden of cancer morbidity and the potential years of life lost due to cancer. The Spanish Deprivation Index (SDI) has been developed as a standardized measure to study socioeconomic deprivation in Spain at the census tract level. In addition, SDI information can be combined with ecological variables at the population level and data from the High-Resolution European Studies in Cancer. The aim of this study is to characterize socioeconomic inequalities in incidence, excess mortality, premature mortality and net survival for three of the most incident cancers (lung, colon-rectum and breast) in Spain using the SDI. This national population-based study will assess the impact of socioeconomic inequalities using a multilevel modelling approach. Spatial analysis, multilevel modeling, net survival and economic impact assessment will be used. The results will be useful for supporting decision-making, planning, an...
