Contribution of frequent type-specific cancers to absolute educational inequalities in cancer mortality, by sex, for the last period of observation 1998–2015. Lower- vs higher-educated. Footnotes: ∗ The coverage for Italy was limited to the department of Torino. ∗∗ For Norway, Denmark, Sweden and France, it was possible to estimate the contribution to total cancer mortality only for certain specific-cancer types, due to data unavailability. In women from Slovenia, Spain and Italy, the balance between positive and negative inequalities across all specific-cancer types amounted to an approximately null value of total cancer inequalities.
