154P Survival outcome of indigenous and non-indigenous women of Western Australia with breast cancer in relation to remoteness

Abstract

Between 2001 and 2010 Indigenous Western Australian women who developed breast cancer (BrCa) were four times more likely to die of the disease than age-matched non-Indigenous women. With remoteness also an established factor in BrCa mortality delineating the interplay between Indigenous status and remoteness could advise healthcare policy allowing tailored development of culturally specific services with appropriate geographical distribution to reduce the mortality risk.
