• Description:
  Incidence rates for gastrointestinal (GI) cancers among non-Hispanic American Indian and Alaska Native (NH-AIAN) people varied by geographic region. Five sites, including colorectal, esophagus, liver, pancreas, and stomach, made up 90% of GI cancers reported among NH-AIAN people. Among NH-AIAN females and males, some of the highest incidence rates for these five cancers were seen in colorectal and liver cancer while the lowest incidence rates were observed in esophageal cancer.
