Rectal Cancer Disparities Among the American Indian/Alaskan Native Populations
AI/AN patients with rectal cancer have a younger age and a more advanced stage at diagnosis. AI/AN race is associated with lower OS compared to White patients in multivariable analyses. Future efforts should focus on increasing colorectal cancer screening and access to treatment for AI/AN populations in an attempt to improve survival outcomes.
