Cancer Incidence and Mortality Patterns among Indigenous Populations

Abstract

Author(s):

Indigenous populations worldwide face unique health challenges, including higher cancer incidence and mortality rates compared to non-Indigenous populations. This article examines the patterns of cancer incidence and mortality among Indigenous peoples, highlighting contributing factors such as genetic predispositions, lifestyle factors, and access to healthcare. By understanding these disparities, we can develop targeted public health strategies to improve cancer outcomes in these communities.
