Article Synopsis
- The study compares the trends of head and neck cancer (HNC) between First Nations and non-Indigenous Australians using data from 1998-2015.
- Findings reveal that First Nations people have significantly higher rates of HNC incidence (29.8 vs. 14.7 per 100,000) and mortality (14.2 vs. 4.1 per 100,000) compared to non-Indigenous individuals.
- Despite both groups experiencing a decline in mortality rates, only the decline in non-Indigenous Australians was statistically significant, highlighting a persistent health disparity for First Nations people.
