Sociocultural, geographic, and biologic factors contribute to cancer health disparities (CHDs) in indigenous Pacific peoples (IPPs) in Guam, Hawai'i, and the US Associated Pacific Islands (USAPI). IPPs experience a greater burden of CHDs that are associated with late-stage diagnosis and poor

OBJECTIVE To describe cancer incidence rates among Pacific people living in New Zealand from 1981 to 2004. METHODS Linked census-cancer registration data were used to calculate age-standardized cancer incidence rates for Pacific people. Both trends over time within Pacific people and differences in

Cancer incidences as well as the most prevalent cancer types vary greatly across Asian countries since people have differing health behaviors as well as lifestyle factors related to cancer risk. Countries have varying systems of government organization, laws, resources, facilities, and management

OBJECTIVE To describe trends in incidence rates of thyroid cancer in New Zealand between 1981-2004 with a particular focus on Pacific women. METHODS Linked census-cancer registration data was used to calculate age standardised cancer incidence rates for thyroid cancer. Both trends over time amongst

The groundwork for the Pacific Islander cancer control network (PICCN) began in the early 1990s with a study of the cancer control needs of American Samoans. The necessity for similar studies among other Pacific Islander populations led to the development of PICCN. The project's principal objectives

The South Pacific Commission Cancer Registry has been operational since 1977, and reasonably complete cancer incidence rates are available for New Caledonia, Fiji, Micronesia, the Cook Islands, and Niue. In addition, less complete reporting is available from American Samoa, Papua New Guinea, and

Although a rare tumor, testicular cancer shows substantial international variation in incidence. In whites, the peak incidence occurs at 25-30 years of age, with a second increase in old age. Blacks have much lower rates than do whites. The rate of increase in the incidence and mortality of this

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is rapidly increasing in Asia, but screening guidelines are lacking. Through reviewing the literature and regional data, and using the modified Delphi process, the Asia Pacific Working Group on Colorectal Cancer and international experts launch consensus recommendations

OBJECTIVE Gastric cancer is a major health burden in the Asia-Pacific region but consensus on prevention strategies has been lacking. We aimed to critically evaluate strategies for preventing gastric cancer. METHODS A multidisciplinary group developed consensus statements using a Delphi approach.

UNASSIGNED The role of human papillomavirus (HPV) in the development of invasive cervical cancers is widely known. Few HPV studies have targeted geographically isolated regions. The objective of this study was to determine the HPV genotypes in cervical cancer patients from the Pacific Islands
