Health Care Disparities for Inuit with Lung Cancer in Nunavik

A recent study in the Canadian Medical Association Journal revealed disparities in lung cancer outcomes between Inuit inhabitants of Nunavik and Montreal. The findings suggest systemic issues within the health care system, rather than genetic predisposition, as the cause. The study authors recommended measures to improve survival, including tailored smoking cessation and prevention services, accessible lung cancer screening, and enhanced lung health services in the region.
