註釋This chart book follows on from Unequal Impact: Māori and non-Māori cancer statistics 1996--2001. The early chart book identified disparities in cancer between Māori and non-Māori for stage at diagnosis, incidence, and mortality. This chart book is the first to provide information about the incidence and mortality of cancer and urban-rural status, and deprivation in Aotearoa/New Zealand. It provides comprehensive analyses of the variations in cancer incidence, mortality, stage at diagnosis, and survival by area deprivation and by rural-urban status from 2002 to 2006. One of the benefits of work like this is that it challenges our assumptions. It helps to define where, for example, the real differences between urban and rural populations are. There are still significant disparities in the incidence rate for all cancers combined between Māori and non-Māori. Of particular concern is that the overall cancer mortality rate for Māori is considerably higher than that of non-Māori. These differences persist by urban-rural status and socioeconomic position; with those most affected living in the most deprived areas. The unequal impact of cancer on Māori is avoidable. Health outcomes can be significantly improved through mechanisms that improve access to health and disability services. Every system, policy, service, process and health professional plays a role in the active reduction of these disparities.
