American Indian and Alaska Native Cancer Data Issues.

Burhansstipanov, Linda; Tenney, Martha J.; Hampton, James W.

American Indian Culture and Research Journal, v23 n3 p217-41 1999

Data on cancer among American Indians and Alaska Natives are sparse and riddled with misclassification errors, resulting in underreporting of cancer incidence and mortality. Incidence rates are discussed for various cancer types in seven Native nations. Barriers to participation in cancer prevention and control programs are examined. Contains extensive references and 11 data tables. (SV)
