Cancer incidence in indigenous people in Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and the USA: a comparative population-based study

Disparities in cancer epidemiology and care delivery among Brazilian indigenous populations

“…(15) Most reports to date refer to specific indigenous groups and respective health issues, and reveal significant health inequalities. (10) …”

“…Incidence rates were then compared with the estimated cancer incidence of the Indigenous People living in the United States for the period 2002 to 2006, and with the Brazilian and American overall population, in 2016. (6,15,16) …”

Identifying research priorities to improve cancer control for Indigenous Australians

“…12 The capacity to monitor the health of Indigenous populations in Australia and other high-income countries is markedly hampered by the paucity of Indigenous identifiers in administrative datasets and cancer registries. 13 However, evidence suggests that better health surveillance and targeted prevention, early detection, and vaccination programs are needed to reduce the higher rates of largely preventable cancers in Indigenous people in Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the US. 13 In Canada, several studies have shown that cancer (of the cervix, colon and rectum, and breast) screening rates for Indigenous people are much lower than for non-Indigenous people.…”

[14][15][16] Research in New Zealand has looked at the role of cancer care in Indigenous cancer survival inequalities 17 , and called for the integration of cancer care across community-based cancer care, primary and secondary health care, and palliative care.…”

The Evolving Scale and Profile of Cancer Worldwide: Much Ado About Everything

“…Examples include the double burden of cancer (high residual burden of infection-related plus increasing westernization-related cancers) reported in Eastern Africa (8), the increasing risk of death from cervical cancer among young women in many middle-and high-income countries in Eastern Europe and the Former Soviet Union (9), and the high rates of lung and cervical cancer in many indigenous populations relative to their nonindigenous counterparts in four of the highest income countries (10).…”
