Poor prostate cancer patients receive worse care

According to a recent study, based in University of Geneva, Switzerland, prostate cancer patients with less money are more likely to die than those who are on higher incomes.

The conclusion researchers was that compared with patients of high socioeconomic status, those of low socioeconomic status were less likely to have their cancer detected by screening, had more advanced stages of cancer at diagnosis, and underwent fewer tests to characterize their cancer.
