- Abstract
The article presents a study on the cancer incidence rates among the American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) populations in the U.S. from 1999 to 2004. It states that cancer cases diagnosed from 1999 through 2004 were determined from population-based cancer registries in the U.S. To reduce the misclassification of race, cancer registry records were linked with patient registration files from the Indian Health Service (IHS).
