Brief description We propose to study the patterns of care of Indigenous people with cancer at the primary health care (PHC) setting. Working collaboratively with PHC centres, we will examine what systems or processes are in place to identify such patients in the PHC centres, and make recommendations for improvements. Our primary focus is identifying factors that are modifiable, particularly those related to follow up/communication between the tertiary and the PHC systems, and management of comorbidities.
