Article Synopsis
- Many cancer survivors worry about their cancer coming back, but healthcare providers often don’t help them with this fear.
- A group of Australian health experts worked together to create a plan for doctors to better understand and manage this fear in patients who had early-stage cancer.
- They found that most items in their plan were agreed upon by the majority, suggesting that regular screenings and conversations about this fear should be part of cancer care.

- Findings emphasize that addressing social and cultural connections is essential for OOHC providers and policymakers to ensure culturally safe and supportive care for First Nations children.
Background: Indigenous peoples worldwide experience inequitable cancer outcomes, and it is unclear if this is underpinned by differences in or inadequate use of endocrine treatment (ET), often used in conjunction with other cancer treatments. Previous studies examining ET use in Indigenous peoples have predominately focused on the sub-national level, often resulting in small sample sizes with limited statistical power. This systematic review aimed to collate the findings ofarticles on ET utilisation for Indigenous cancer patients and describe relevant factors that may influence ET use.
