"In the poorest areas the risk of dying from #cancer is 70% higher"
Professor Majid Ezzati spoke with @AndrewMarr9 on @LBC about new research that shows that the risk of dying of cancer in England varies hugely depending on where people live

New @ImperialSPH research finds risk of dying of #cancer in England varies hugely depending on where people live.
Published in @TheLancetOncol, findings highlight stark inequalities across the country.

⚕️News piece from the BMJ on our study published in The Lancet Oncology today (thread here: xitter.cf/Pathways2Equity/status…)
@CRUK_Policy @mariecurieuk @macmillancancer @BreastCancerNow @SadiqKhan @AndyBurnhamGM @doctor_katie
The risk of dying from cancer in some poorer areas of England is far higher than the risk seen in wealthier areas, with northern cities such as Liverpool, Manchester, Hull, and Newcastle among the worst affected, a study has found

NOW OF: A population-based, spatiotemporal study of of vital registration data from the UK Office for National Statistics aims to estimate trends in mortality from leading cancers from 2002 to 2019 for the 314 districts in England.

Risk of dying from cancer in some poorer districts of England over 70% higher than wealthy districts, a new study in @TheLancetOncol suggests

ALT Probability of dying from a cancer between birth and age 80 years in 314 local authority districts in England in 2019, and change in probabilities of dying from 2002 to 2019, in women and men
Out today! Our @TheLancetOncol paper showing huge inequalities between communities in England in mortality from leading cancers.
tldr below @imperialcollege @ImperialSPH @TheLancet:
thelancet.com/journals/lanon…
The greatest inequality across districts was for cancers where factors such as smoking, alcohol and obesity have a large influence on the risk of getting cancer.
