Kidney Cancer Incidence among Non-Hispanic American Indian and Alaska Native Populations in the United States, 1999 to 2020.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Non-Hispanic American Indian and Alaska Native (NH-AI/AN) people exhibit a disproportionate incidence of kidney cancer. Nationally aggregated data do not allow for a comprehensive description of regional disparities in kidney cancer incidence among NH-AI/AN communities. This study examined kidney cancer incidence rates and trends among NH-AI/AN compared with non-Hispanic White (NHW) populations by geographic region.

Methods

Using the United States Cancer Statistics American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) Incidence Analytic Database, age-adjusted incidence rates (per 100,000) of kidney cancers for NH-AI/AN and NHW people for the years 2011 to 2020 combined using surveillance, epidemiology, and end Results (SEER)∗stat software. Analyses were restricted to non-Hisp
