Cancer mortality rates are higher in NT residents compared to the rest of Australia.
National screening programs are available in Australia to detect breast cancer, bowel cancer, and cervical cancer.
But cancer mortality is higher in NT residents compared to the rest of Australia.
This is due to access to healthcare being limited in rural and regional areas.
Late-stage cancer diagnosis is common in these regions, indicating service accessibility barriers for these populations, including late diagnosis and delayed presentation to care.
Cancer screening saves lives. Screening is one of the most effective ways to detect early signs of cancer.
