East of England Cancer Health Equity Hub
A place where all professionals involved in the care of people affected by cancer in the East of England can learn, connect and work together to address health inequalities
Did you know?
Here are some examples of health inequalities in cancer care. They are unfair and we need to change this. Let's join together to find out how.
-
People who live in poorer areas are more likely to get cancer and more often it will be diagnosed at an advanced stage
-
People from ethnic minority backgrounds report poorer experiences of cancer care and have lower survival rates for certain types of cancer
-
Homeless people have high rates of cancer risk factors, later stage diagnoses and increased cancer death.
-
The number of men getting cancer is rising and they have a higher likelihood of dying from cancer. Black men are more likely to get cancer at a younger age.
