A report from researchers at South Dakota State University discusses the perspectives on patient and family needs during cancer treatment and survivorship among American Indian (AI) cancer survivors, caregivers, Tribal leaders, and healers. The study involved 36 AI cancer survivors from three reservations in the Great Plains region. The research found that culturally responsive interventions, with Tribal community health workers serving as navigators, are crucial in providing high-quality cancer care to AI patients in their home communities. The study emphasizes the need for collaboration between oncology clinicians, local care providers, relevant organizations, and the Indian Health Service to identify and develop essential services.
