“…For example, aggregated data in AI/AN depict lower prostate and breast cancer incidence and mortality and little difference in cervical and colon cancer incidence and mortality when compared to Non-Hispanic Whites (NHW) (18). However, disaggregated data by geographic location shows substantial and/or statistically significant cancer disparities between AI/AN and NHW living in the same region, particularly for breast, cervix, colon and prostate cancers (3, 19–23). In the 48 contiguous states, Northern and Southern Plains AIs have significantly elevated cancer incidence and/or mortality rates.…”

Medically underserved populations in the US continue to experience higher cancer burdens of incidence, mortality and other cancer-related outcomes. It is imperative to understand how health inequities experienced by diverse population groups may contribute to our increasing unequal cancer burdens and disparate outcomes. The National Cancer Institute convened a diverse group of scientists to discuss research challenges and opportunities for cancer epidemiology in medically underserved and understudied populations. This report summarizes salient issues and discuss five recommendations from the group, including the next steps required to better examine and address cancer burden in US among our rapidly increasing diverse and understudied populations.

“…This is a challenging task since a whole range of factors are involved in cancer case identification, progression and reporting (Cheunget al, 2013;Barayan et al, 2014;Kharazmi et al, 2014;Perdue et al, 2014). Pin-pointing this complexity requires systematic thinking of the major indicators inferred from PAECCR.…”

, and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL, 9.53%) were found to be the highest in male patients, whereas breast cancer (46.7%), ovary tumors (6.80%), and cervix (6.31%) cancer incidence rates were observed to be the most common in female patients. The age range distribution of diagnosed and treated patients in conjunction with the percentage contribution of cancer patients from 15 different cities of Punjab province treated at the Institute of Nuclear Medicine and Oncology, Lahore are also included. Leukemia was found to be the most common cancer for the age group of 1-12 years. It has been identified that the maximum number of diagnosed cases were found in the age range of 51-60 years for males and 41-50 years for female cancer patients. Conclusions: Overall cancer incidence of the thirty years demonstrated that head and neck and breast cancers in males and in females respectively are the most common cancers in Punjab province in Pakistan, at rates almost the highest in Asia, requiring especial attention. The incidence of brain, NHL, and prostate cancers among males and ovarian and cervix cancers among females have increased rapidly. These data from a major population of Punjab province should be helpful for implementation of appropriate planning, prevention and cancer control measures and for determination of risk factors within the country.

“…This trend has also been observed in other jurisdictions; American Indians and Alaska Natives who live in the Unites States have a higher burden of CRC and stable or increasing CRC mortality (18). Population-based, organized screening using an FOBT is an important strategy that can help reduce the incidence and mortality of CRC.…”

Background: Because the burden of colorectal cancer (CRC) seems to be increasing in First Nations, it is important to better understand CRC screening utilization. The objective of this study was to describe CRC screening among First Nations living in Manitoba.Methods: The Federal Indian Register was linked to two provincial databases. A negative binomial model was used to compare the probability of First Nations having a fecal occult blood test (FOBT), colonoscopy, or flexible sigmoidoscopy (FS) with all other Manitobans.Results: First Nations who lived in Winnipeg were significantly less likely to have had a FOBT in the previous 2 years than all other Manitobans who lived in Winnipeg [rate ratio (RR) ¼ 0.40; 95% confidence intervals (CI), 0.37-0.44].

Geographic Variation in Colorectal Cancer Incidence and Mortality, Age of Onset, and Stage at Diagnosis Among American Indian and Alaska Native People, 1990–2009

Abstract: Compared with Whites, AI/AN individuals in many regions had a higher burden of CRC and stable or increasing CRC mortality. An understanding of the factors driving these regional disparities could offer critical insights for prevention and control programs.
