 Poorer survival was seen in First Nations people diagnosed with cancer in 10 of the 15 cancer sites examined in women and 10 of the 12 cancer sites examined in men.  Poorer survival could be a combination of poorer utilization or access to culturally safe screening programs and primary care services, and/or poorer access to timely, appropriate and culturally safe cancer treatments.
