摘要

Numerous studies demonstrate inequalities in healthcare with regard to access, utilisation and quality. This article examines the issue as it relates to cancer care and adopts a medical sociological perspective on inequalities related to gender, socioeconomic status, migration experience and disability. The findings indicate that disparities exist particularly in the utilisation of screening services, the timing of diagnosis, and access to guideline-based and innovative therapies. Disadvantaged groups are more often diagnosed at a later stage, receive curative or innovative treatments less frequently, and report higher psychosocial burden. Inequalities generally do not operate in isolation but are intersecting in nature. The results highlight the need for gender- and diversity-sensitive oncological care that systematically addresses structural barriers to high-quality care.
