The Importance of Recognition of the Skin Cancer Risk of Native Americans: A Call to Action
2017
Melanoma is a deadly skin cancer affecting a significant part of the U.S. population. People of color are more likely to face lower survival rates from melanoma and are more likely to be diagnosed at a later stage. Efforts to combat this have largely focused on Asian, Hispanic, and African American patients. Native Americans have been unfortunately excluded from such studies. This article is a call to action and is an effort to raise awareness for Native American inclusion in future skin cancer studies so their skin cancer knowledge and risk can be appropriately ascertained.
