- Abstract
Objective: The leading purpose has been to identify the main publications related to social iniquity and mortality related to breast cancer (BC) and/or cervical cancer (CC), while investigating the type of association between the triggering factor and the case outcome. Methods: It is an Integrative Literature Review from the articles searching in the Medline, Lilacs, PubMed and Scielo databases. A total of 3,439 studies were obtained, from which only 85 have met the inclusion criteria. Results: The vast majority of the studies have found an association between high socioeconomic status and mortality by BC and also between low socioeconomic status and mortality by CC. The principal indicators used to evaluate these associations were as follows: education, income/poverty and labor market. Conclusion: Areas with high social iniquity have higher mortality rates related to CC, while those with higher socioeconomic status exhibit high mortality rates related to BC. These phenomena have several explanations: personal lifestyle, offer and accessibility to screening services and/or treatment, social stratification based on the economic model adopted in the country.
