我们探讨了新西兰癌症生存阶段的种族差异对诊断的贡献。我们将在癌症登记处登记的115811名患有侵袭性癌症的成年患者（1994年至2002年）与死亡率数据联系起来。毛利人的年龄标准化5年相对存活率最低，太平洋人（也称为太平洋岛民）居中，非毛利人/非太平洋人的许多癌症存活率最高。诊断阶段仅占这些差异的一部分。造成种族不平等的可能因素可能包括获得专门癌症服务的机会和所接受的护理质量。
We explored the contribution of stage at diagnosis to ethnic disparities in cancer survival in New Zealand. We linked 115811 adult patients with invasive cancer registered on the cancer registry (1994 to 2002) to mortality data. Age-standardized, 5-year relative survival rates were lowest for Maori, intermediate for Pacific people (otherwise known as Pacific Islanders), and highest for non-Maori/non-Pacific people for many cancers. Stage at diagnosis accounted for only part of these differences. Possible factors responsible for ethnic inequalities might include access to specialized cancer services and the quality of care received.
