Weighting by Income Probabilities as a Novel Approach to Quantifying Differences in the Burden of Cancer by Income: A Case Study of Colorectal Cancer in Ohio

The approach described here accurately estimates cancer incidence along income gradients and can be expanded to estimate income-specific survival and mortality. The case study of colorectal cancer in Ohio demonstrates important insights into the burden of cancer by income. These granular income-specific data can enhance our understanding of the relationship between cancer burden and socioeconomic status and inform cancer surveillance, prevention, and control efforts.
