Professor of Health Economics
🇬🇧 The Economics of Cancer Screening and Services
Individual decisions around life style and screening can create path dependencies that constrain future clinical decisions around treatment. Understanding these relationships and the cost-benefit calculus that underpins them can help inform future cancer strategies, improve outcomes and reduce the cost of cancer for individuals and society.

Quantitative approaches in France and Europe.
Social inequalities in health are defined by the observation of a difference in health risk associated with an individual’s place in the community. The social determinants of health are man-made, dependent on the way society is organized, and can therefore be modified by collective decisions.
