Reducing smoking through #TobaccoControl has saved millions of lives, but a stronger commitment at the local, state, and federal levels to help further reduce smoking is needed.

#Cancer mortality risk higher among those residing outside #metropolitan areas. Some of these #disparities can be aggravated by #rural #hospital closures, which have been more common in states that have not expanded #Medicaid.

Excellent presentations by @AmericanCancer researchers Jordan Baeker Bispo & @ppcparichoy @APHAAnnualMtg #APHA2023 on associations between #social support & #cancer screening and between insurance coverage & Black-White disparities in stage of cancer at diagnosis. @ACS_Research

The disparities in cancer mortality by educational attainment (a marker of socioeconomic status) within each race were far greater than the disparities by race within each educational attainment group, underscoring the dominant role of social determinants of health.

[Farhad Islami, MD PhD @FarhadIslami]

In analyses stratified by #race & metropolitan status, Black-White disparities in overall cancer mortality in ages <65yrs are larger in large metropolitan areas, likely reflecting wider racial disparities in access to or quality of care in those areas.

A new first-of-its-kind study from @farhadislami and @AmericanCancer researchers shows that cancer death rates across US congressional districts have declined over the last 25 years, but regional and racial disparities persist.

A new paper co-authored by @ACS_Research investigators showed that approx 87% of women aged ≥45 yrs in the cont. US had access to digital mammography, but this proportion was substantially lower for Native American women (67%) & rural residents (32%).

Progress against colorectal cancer could be accelerated by uncovering the etiology of rising incidence in generations born since 1950 and increasing access to high-quality screening and treatment among all populations.
