| The patterns of cancer occurrence and experiences of cancer survivorship among American Indians and Alaska Natives have become more visible within the previous decade, and national bodies (Institute of Medicine, National Cancer Institute) recognize that Native people suffer an unequal burden of some types of cancer. This session will provide participants with a snapshot of the impact of cancer on Native communities, giving a brief overview of the factors related to late stage of diagnosis, a description of the the Cherokee Nation’s experience with developing a tribal registry for cancer surveillance, a discussion of the process for involving community members in setting cancer prevention program goals, and an example of successful community partnership programs that support American Indian and Alaska Native cancer survivors. | |||
| Learning Objectives: 1) Understand racial/ethnic differences in cancer stage at diagnosis and in cancer survival with a focus on identifying risk factors for Amerian Indians and Alaska Natives 2) Identify ways in which comorbidity may be determined from existing data sources 3) List five essential elements for constructing a tribal cancer registry 4) Describe how cancer registry data can be used to support other cancer program objectives 5) Understand the use of community-based participatory research in cancer prevention 6) Articulate the procedure for initiating or assessing a tribal community’s cancer survivorship action plan. | |||
