• In this study, we examined the treatment and outcomes of pancreatic adenocarcinoma in New Mexico Native Americans (NA). A retrospective review of patients treated for pancreatic adenocarcinoma at a university cancer center from 2002-2016 comparing demographic characteristics, disease presentation, treatment, and outcomes among three main ethnic groups in New Mexico. We identified 457 patients: 240 (52.5%) non-Hispanic Whites, 186 (40.7%) Hispanics, and 31 (6.8%) NA. Non-Hispanic Whites (OR 2.41; p=.026) and Hispanics (OR 2.37; p=.032) were more likely to receive or be offered chemotherapy than NA. More NA than non-Hispanic Whites died within one month of diagnosis (25.8% and 7.5%, respectively; p=.004). The NAs demonstrated a 26.2% one-year survival (CI 11.7-43.3), compared with 48.3% in non-Hispanic Whites (CI 40.9-55.2; p=.015). Significant disparities exist in the treatment and outcomes of pancreatic adenocarcinoma in New Mexico NA populations.
