Socioeconomic inequalities in kidney and renal pelvis cancer mortality in Canada: Trends over three decades
The higher KCa mortality in socioeconomically disadvantaged groups in Canada indicates the continuing need for primary prevention through lowering smoking rates, reducing obesity, and controlling hypertension. Additionally, promoting greater use of abdominal imaging for the incidental early KCa detection can enable more effective treatment and improved survival rates, especially for females of lower socioeconomic status.
