Résumé
A major goal of health care systems is to improve health equally in all groups of the population. However, socioeconomic and socio-demographic health inequalities in breast cancer (BC) detection and survival have been observed in many countries. Methods : We explored socioeconomic and socio-demographic disparities in BC stage at presentation and survival in female BC patients from population-based cancer registries anonymously linked to the Swiss National Cohort (SNC). Tumour stage was classified according to SEER summary stage (in situ/localized/regional/distant). We used highest education level attained from the SNC to characterize socioeconomic position (SEP) in 3 levels (low/middle/high). Further characteristics included in the analyses were age, living in a canton with organized mammography screening (yes/no), civil status and Swiss nationality. We used ordered logistic regression models to analyse factors associated with BC stage at presentation and competing risk regression models for factors associated with death from BC.
