Abstract
Higher prevalence of risk factors, poor outcomes, and under-reporting are among the cancer control challenges for Indigenous peoples.
There are more than 370 million Indigenous people spanning at least 70 countries worldwide. Indigenous peoples generally face disadvantage and have worse health than non-Indigenous people. Data related to cancer in these populations tend to be absent or of poor quality making many Indigenous peoples statistically invisible, with the majority of data that exist coming from a few high-income countries.
