(2020). Inequalities between Māori and non-Māori men with prostate cancer in Aotearoa New Zealand.. N Z Med J. 133. 1521. (pp. 69-76).0028-8446https://mro.massey.ac.nz/handle/10179/69073Māori experience poorer health statistics in terms of cancer incidence and mortality compared to non-Māori. For prostate cancer, Māori men are less likely than non-Māori men to be diagnosed with prostate cancer, but those that are diagnosed are much more likely to die of the disease than non-Māori men resulting in an excess mortality rate in Māori men compared with non-Māori. A review of the literature included a review of the epidemiology of prostate cancer; of screening; of access to healthcare and of treatment modalities. Our conclusion was that there are a number of reasons for the disparity in outcomes for Māori including differences in staging and characteristics at diagnosis; differences in screening and treatment offered to Māori men; and general barriers to healthcare that exist for Māori men in New Zealand. We conclude that there is a need for more culturally appropriate care to be available to Māori men.(c) The author/s (c) The PublishersAdultAgedHealthcare DisparitiesHumansMaleMiddle AgedNative Hawaiian or Other Pacific IslanderNew ZealandProstatic NeoplasmsRisk FactorsSocioeconomic FactorsWhite PeopleJournal article1175-8716journal-article69-76https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/32994638
