Abstract
DESCRIPTION: (Applicant's Description) Although cancer incidence rates
among American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian women are
significantly lower than rates in the general population, this profile is
changing. Today, cancer is the second leading cause of death for American
Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian women.
The purpose of this proposed conference is to review the emerging and
changing patterns of cancer incidence, mortality, and survival for the
Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian, American Indian women. The attention to
changing patterns are important for research priorities and important for
developing relevant cancer education, prevention, and screening programs.
The proposed Conference will address these important issues in an effort to
decrease cancer mortality for native women.
