Abstract

Conventional cancer indicators, such as incidence, survival, and mortality rates, serve as critical metrics for understanding the impact of cancer on populations at large. However, when assessing the impact upon Indigenous and Tribal communities, issues with these conventional indicators and the comprehensiveness of the reporting become apparent. Indigenous and Tribal communities often face unique challenges, including limited access to healthcare, cultural and language barriers within healthcare systems, and socioeconomic factors, which can significantly influence the accuracy and relevance of standard cancer data.
