Survival disparities between <scp>M</scp> āori and non‐ <scp>M</scp> āori men with prostate cancer in <scp>N</scp> ew <scp>Z</scp> ealand

Abstract

Māori men had significantly poorer survival than non-Māori, particularly when diagnosed with regional prostate cancer. Despite improvements in survival for all men diagnosed after 2000, the survival gap between Māori and non-Māori men has not been reduced with time. Differences in prostate cancer detection and management, partly driven by higher socioeconomic deprivation in Māori men, were identified as the most likely contributors to ethnic survival disparities in NZ.
