2 years agoWhat type of Cancer do most Native American Indians get ,have not seen many posts on this issue.
Accepted Answer
Cancer rates and types can vary among different populations, including Native American communities. Some research shows that certain cancers like liver, stomach, and kidney cancers occur at higher rates in Native American populations, while breast cancer rates may differ compared to other groups. Connecting with others who share similar backgrounds and experiences can be really valuable, and hopefully more community members will share their stories and insights with you.

8 months agoWell all my life I was told I was part Cherokee. If I go to cultural events I look like all the participants. That being said ancestry DNA site does not identify me as any but British isles and Swedish. But if you have TNBC- it is much more common in black and brown people statistically. I have never seen any research on native Americans and breast cancers common to this population. Definitely needs to be researched.
