Social inequalities in cancer are a global problem, as has been well documented in the World Health Organization (WHO)/International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) publication Social Inequalities and Cancer. Inequalities in income, wealth, education, and power disproportionally impact the most disadvantaged individuals, communities, and countries to produce a social gradient in the incidence, survival, and mortality of many cancers both within and between countries. From April 16 to 18, 2018, the IARC convened a workshop to examine the current evidence and identify research priorities for reducing social inequalities in cancer. International and WHO/IARC experts drawn from many different disciplines presented a series of articles to be published in an IARC scientific publication; extensive discussion in subgroups and plenary sessions resulted in participants identifying 3 research priorities.

减少癌症中的社会不平等：设定研究重点

癌症中的社会不平等是一个全球性问题，正如世界卫生组织 (WHO)/国际癌症研究机构 (IARC) 出版物《社会不平等与癌症》中所记载的那样。收入、财富、教育和权力的不平等对最弱势的个人、社区和国家产生了不成比例的影响，从而在国家内部和国家之间产生了许多癌症的发病率、存活率和死亡率的社会梯度。2018 年 4 月 16 日至 18 日，IARC 召开了一次研讨会，以检查当前证据并确定减少癌症社会不平等的研究重点。来自许多不同学科的国际专家和 WHO/IARC 专家发表了一系列文章，将在 IARC 科学出版物上发表；
