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.
