Abstract
Health inequalities are systematic and potentially remediable differences in health across populations. Understanding the origins of these discrepancies, the healthcare consequences and the manifestations of related diseases can help improve the outcomes of underserved communities. Here I discuss how social factors may be used to help identify particular at-risk populations with regards to urological malignancies, and how these can be potentially used as biomarkers that inform cancer screening targets.
