abstract = {Socioeconomic inequalities in cancer incidence are not well documented in southern Europe.
We aim to study the association between socioeconomic status (SES) and colorectal, lung, and breast
cancer incidence in Spain. We conducted a multilevel study using data from Spanish populationbased cancer registries, including incident cases diagnosed for the period 2010–2013 in nine Spanish
provinces. We used Poisson mixed-effects models, including the census tract as a random intercept,
to derive cancer incidence rate ratios by SES, adjusted for age and calendar year. Male adults with
the lowest SES, compared to those with the highest SES, showed weak evidence of being at increased
risk of lung cancer (risk ratio (RR): 1.18, 95% CI: 0.94–1.46) but showed moderate evidence of being at reduced risk of colorectal cancer (RR: 0.84, 95% CI: 0.74–0.97). Female adults with the lowest SES,
compared to those with the highest SES, showed strong evidence of lower breast cancer incidence
with 24% decreased risk (RR: 0.76, 95% CI: 0.68–0.85). Among females, we did not find evidence of
an association between SES and lung or colorectal cancer. The associations found between SES and
cancer incidence in Spain are consistent with those obtained in other European countries.},
