Abstract：
The eastern provinces of Canada exhibit a heightened prevalence and mortality rate of lung cancer compared to their western counterparts. While established risk factors for lung cancer exist in Canada, there remains ambiguity regarding the underlying provincial and territorial trends. This review aims to identify and analyze potential contributors to healthcare inequality, guiding policymakers towards a strategic and sustainable approach at the provincial level.
Existing studies emphasize the significant roles played by socio-economic and environmental factors in influencing lung cancer disparities across Canadian provinces. However, a noticeable research gap persists, particularly in systematically examining the factors that amplify geographical disparities in lung cancer incidence and mortality rates within Canada. This review underscores the disparities in lung cancer prevalence and mortality rates between eastern and western Canadian provinces. While socio-economic and environmental factors have been identified as influential, there is an evident need for further research to comprehensively understand and address the underlying contributors to these geographical discrepancies.

摘要：
目的：与西部省份相比，加拿大东部省份的肺癌患病率和死亡率更高。虽然加拿大存在肺癌的既定危险因素，关于潜在的省和地区趋势仍然含糊不清。这篇综述旨在确定和分析导致医疗保健不平等的潜在因素。指导政策制定者在省一级采取战略性和可持续的方法。
结果：现有研究强调了社会经济和环境因素在影响加拿大各省肺癌差异中的重要作用。然而,一个明显的研究差距仍然存在，特别是在系统地研究扩大加拿大肺癌发病率和死亡率的地域差异的因素。这篇综述强调了加拿大东部和西部省份之间肺癌患病率和死亡率的差异。虽然社会经济和环境因素被认为是有影响的，显然需要进一步研究，以全面了解和解决这些地理差异的潜在原因。
