The Power of Networking.

This paper explores the critical role of networking, particularly within the oncology data specialist community, in developing and implementing an educational course. Networking, both within and beyond academia, is essential for gathering resources, expertise, and support necessary for designing and delivering an effective curriculum tailored to the demands of oncology data analysis. Networking within this specialized community facilitates collaboration with other educators and professionals, sharing of best practices, innovative teaching methodologies, and assessment strategies specific to oncology data analysis.

The Alaska Native Tumour Registry: fifty years of cancer surveillance data for Alaska Native people.

Like other Indigenous Circumpolar populations, Alaska Native (AN) people experience different patterns of cancer than their non-Indigenous counterparts. Every 5 years, the Alaska Native Tumour Registry releases a comprehensive report on cancer among AN people; this study provides 50 years of cancer surveillance data. Five-year annual-average age-adjusted incidence rates were calculated for time-periods ranging 1969-2018.

Gastric Cancer in Alaska Native and American Indian People Living in Alaska, 1990-2017.

Introduction: Alaska Native (AN) people experience a high burden of gastric cancer compared with other US Native and non-Native populations. Previous reports have suggested that gastric cancer in AN people occurs at a younger age and is a more aggressive pathologic type. We evaluated all cases of gastric cancer in AN people from 1990 to 2017 and compared the epidemiologic and pathologic characteristics with the gastric cancers that occurred in the same time in the US white (USW) population.
