Overview

Cancer centers across the world serve both dense urban centers and remote rural areas including Indigenous populations. This book advances knowledge in cancer data discussions for and with Indigenous populations, academics, researchers, Nations, and institutions, as well as allies who work with Indigenous cancer data. The book discusses current prevalence, incidence, and mortality patterns across populations with overall goals of understanding and utilizing data towards cancer control. Chapters engage with data as it relates to Nation to Nation governance, treaty relationships, race, ethnicity and Indigenous-related classifications, environmental genetics, chemistry, cancer data protections, small population research methods, and more. Written by international leaders in cancer research and allied fields, and Indigenous community advisory board members, the book focuses on existing and future areas in need of development related to community-based data and cancer control for and with Indigenous communities. This book forms the basis for ongoing discussion among scientific data leaders and community-based engagements from a range of disciplines on improving standardization, availability of methods and tools for analysis, protections of data, data ethics, and creation of community-based dissemination processes to build greater understandings of cancer control opportunities for Indigenous communities. This book is an open access.
