Cancer is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, with socio-economic disparities playing a significant role in cancer incidence and outcomes. This essay investigates the socio-economic disparities in cancer incidence and outcomes, focusing on how factors such as income, education, and access to healthcare can influence an individual's risk of developing cancer and their chances of surviving the disease. Through a review of relevant literature, this essay will explore the impact of socio-economic factors on cancer disparities, as well as potential strategies to address these inequities and improve outcomes for all individuals affected by cancer
