Disparities in Cancer Care in Australia and the Pacific
Disparities in cancer care across populations in Australia and the Pacific become apparent only when there is a cancer registry to record the cancer incidence and mortality statistics and data capture is comprehensive. The reasons are not just poorer access to screening and treatment but lifestyle and occupational factors which encompass increased cancer risk factors compared with urban counterparts. More research is needed to identify preventable causes of these disparities
