“…Finally, the number of children was also associated with age at diagnosis: women below 70 at diagnosis were more likely to have two or more children compared with those diagnosed at an older age. In our study, the socio-economic variable 'occupational' was an independent prognostic factor of stage at diagnosis and of overall survival: the higher the occupational status, the better the stage and the longer the survival, as found in other studies (Thomson et al, 2001;Cross et al, 2002;Taylor and Cheng, 2003;Lagerlund et al, 2005;Downing et al, 2007). In France, it is difficult to obtain individual socio-economic data and to make comparisons with other varied studies.…”

Survival data on female invasive breast cancer with 9-year follow-up from five French cancer registries were analysed by logistic regression for prognostic factors of cancer stage. The Kaplan -Meier method and log-rank test were used to estimate and compare the overall survival probability at 5 and 7 years, and at the endpoint. The Cox regression model was used for multivariate analysis. County of residence, age group, occupational status, mammographic surveillance, gynaecological prevention consultations and the diagnosis mammography, whether within a screening framework or not, were independent prognostic factors of survival. Moreover, for the same age group, and only for cancers T2 and/or N þ (whether 1, 2 or 3) and M0, the prognosis was significantly better when the diagnosis mammography was done within the framework of screening. Socio-economic and surveillance characteristics are independent prognostic factors of both breast cancer stage at diagnosis and of survival. Screening mammography is an independent prognostic factor of survival.

“…Baixa condição socioeconômica interfere no acesso a serviços de prevenção, rastreamento regular, diagnósti-co e tratamento oportunos 27,28 ; por outro lado, mulheres com alto nível socioeconômico apresentam melhor prognóstico ao diagnóstico de câncer de mama 29 . Dessa forma, a relação entre nível socioeconômico e prognóstico do câncer de mama e colo do útero pode ser justificada pelo diagnóstico realizado em fase avançada da doença, em virtude da dificuldade de acesso aos programas de prevenção e aos cuidados médicos nas classes sociais menos favorecidas, mesmo em países desenvolvidos 28 .…”

Analisar a tendência da mortalidade por câncer de mama e câncer de colo do útero em mulheres residentes no Município de Juiz de Fora, Minas Gerais, Brasil, no período de 1980 a 2006. Os dados sobre os óbitos foram obtidos do Sistema de Informação sobre Mortalidade; as taxas de mortalidade específicas foram calculadas por idade e padronizadas pela população mundial. Para análise de tendência, foram aplicados modelos de regressão polinomial. O câncer de mama foi a principal causa de óbito entre as neoplasias na população de mulheres residentes no município, enquanto o câncer de colo do útero oscilou entre a segunda e a quarta causa no período do estudo. A análise de tendência mostrou queda da mortalidade por câncer de colo do útero (p = 0,001) e tendência de crescimento na mortalidade por câncer de mama (p = 0,035) ao longo dos anos da série. A mortalidade por câncer de mama e colo do útero no Município de Juiz de Fora sugere um processo de transição epidemiológica em andamento, com tendência crescente na mortalidade por câncer de mama e persistência de taxas elevadas por câncer de colo do útero.

“…Study subjects were also followed until the end of follow-up, emigration, or deathas provided through linkage with the Swedish Emigration Register and the Cause of Death Register (Lagerlund et al 2005)-whichever occurred first. Furthermore, patients were censored at the time of admission to hospital if they underwent reoperation due to prosthesis-related complications.…”

Socio-economic factors and breast cancer survival – a population-based cohort study (Sweden)

Abstract: These results show that socio-economic disparities in breast cancer survival prevail even in this relatively homogenous society, offering outreach mammography and standardised treatment regimens in a tax-funded health care system.
