Abstract

Oncology Equity Cancer surgery Radiation therapy Systemic therapy Māori Cancer and Chronic Conditions (C3) Collection C3: Cancer and Māori C3: Improving quantity and quality of life for Māori Oncology and carcinogenesis Epidemiology Health services and systems

In this report, we use national-level health data to describe patterns of receipt of publicly-funded surgery, radiation therapy and systemic therapy by New Zealanders diagnosed with cancer between 2015-2022 (n=206,021).  Given existing disparities in cancer care and outcomes for Māori, we describe and compare patterns of treatment receipt by ethnicity, as well as by other sociodemographic and clinical factors.
