Perspectivas da investigação sobre determinantes sociais em câncer

Abstract: Resumo: As diferenças socioeconômicas têm reflexos no perfil epidemiológico de câncer, no que diz respeito a incidência, mortalidade, sobrevida e qualidade de vida após o diagnóstico. Neste artigo examinam-se as disparidades da ocorrência de câncer na população brasileira e sintetizam-se evidências das investigações sobre determinantes sociais em câncer. Foram considerados os principais fatores que modulam a influência das condições socioeconômicas na ocorrência do câncer, como tabagismo, consumo de álcool, há… Show more

“…Inadequate sanitation conditions can be related to a lack of access to healthcare, not only posing as a risk factor for infectious diseases, but also for other disorders such as cancer [23]. In a Danish cohort study of 1,229 post-menopausal women diagnosed with breast cancer, association between low socioeconomic status and risk of mortality was observed, probably due to increased use of tobacco and alcohol [24].…”

“…With regard to social conditions, they are often ignored in the complex causal chain of the oral cancer; however, such conditions should be considered as distal determinants in the health-disease process, while behavioral variables should be considered as proximal determinants. This is a more consistent approach in evaluating the implications of distinct variables in a causal chain model of oral cancer 20 . Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the disease in a broader perspective, in order to verify not only factors such as tobacco and alcohol consumptions but also the implications of social aspects on oral cancer.…”
