Native American Cancer Control Literature Database

The Native American Cancer Control Literature Database is a compilation of published scientific literature on cancer-related topics with Native American communities including American Indian, Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian and First Nations populations.

Methodology

To identify relevant literature, NCI searches three databases annually: PubMed, EBSCO, and Web of Science using terms related to the populations, research, and cancer. The search is limited to academic journal articles, and currently includes publications between 1994 and December 2023.

NCI reviews each title and abstract for relevance and codes the publications based on the population, geographic location, cancer site, research type, intervention site, cancer continuum, and intervention area. There are currently over 2,200 publications included in the database.

If you find any relevant articles missing from the database, please email them to Amy Kennedy amy.kennedy@nih.gov.
