New studies have discovered that the American Indians who live in urban regions, as well as Alaskan natives have significantly lower rates of survival when afflicted with cancer of the breast or prostate. It was found to be the same even in areas where the accessibility of healthcare is high and the same for all people. The findings of this study analyze the occurrence and the rate of survival of Alaskan natives and American Indians, as well as the percentage of those who stay in remission. Previous studies have also linked these races and ethnicities to a higher occurrence of cancer.
• Indian Health Service (IHS) collected the data: The Indian Health Service is within the aegis of the Department of Health and Human Services that provides health services to these two sects of people. Their facilities are found solitarily near the lands used as reservations for these people. • Concurs with other studies with other races: Other studies have also proved that, even though in some races and ethnic groups, cancer mortality has reduced, in others, it has not declined, it has either remained the same or gotten worse, especially in the populations of Alaskan natives and American Indians. • The data was collected from 582 people: Among the patients who visited the IHS centers, the data needed was compiled and analyzed from 582 Alaskan natives and American Indians, all of whom had some stage of breast cancer or prostate cancer. The new study took note of the cases which happened in an urban situation, selecting data from the patients who visited Kaiser Permanente Northern California. This is a healthcare system, which ensnares just about 33 percent of the inhabitants of Central Valley as well as the Bay Area. However, there are quite a few differences between the rate of cancer manifesting and the mortality rates, depending on the region, which warrant further study.
