Are wealthier people more likely to receive a diagnosis of cancer?

Do wealthier people receive too much medical care? A research team examined incidence and mortality trends for four types of cancers: breast cancer, prostate cancer, thyroid cancer and melanoma. They then compared incidence and mortality of the four cancers in high- vs. low-income counties and found that high-income counties have recorded a much greater increase in the incidence of these four cancers than low-income counties.
