Spatial inequalities in colorectal and breast cancer survival: Premature deaths and associated factors

► Bayesian relative survival models adjusted for stage, disadvantage and distance. ► Colorectal cancer (CRC) spatial survival inequalities remained after adjustment. ► Late diagnosis and area disadvantage explained breast spatial survival inequalities. ► Calculated premature deaths due to non-diagnostic (ND) spatial inequalities. ► 8% (CRC) and 7% (breast) of premature deaths due to ND spatial inequalities.
