Background  Few in-depth reports on cancer epidemiology in New Mexico or the United States-Mexico border region exist. We aim to quantify cancer incidence and survival in New Mexico and the United States-Mexico border region in New Mexico.  Methods  Incidence and survival were obtained using SEER*Stat 8.3. The data were divided into either New Mexico, or SEER 18 (comprised of the 17 remaining regions) and then further divided by county in New Mexico and by time period. Incidence rates were age-standardized to the 2000 US census. Five-year survival was calculated for each cancer type. Kaplan-Meier survival plots were produced, and significance was determined using log-rank analysis.  Results  Analysis demonstrated that cancers in New Mexico are diagnosed at a lower rate with the exception of thyroid, liver, and ovarian. Survival is generally lower in New Mexico with 10 of the 14 cancers having worse survival in New Mexico. Only uterine cancer had improved survival in New Mexico (77.9% vs 74.9%, P < .001). Additionally, breast (82.2%), prostate (83.3%), lung and bronchus (13.7%), colorectal (53.7%), melanoma (80.1%), kidney and renal pelvis (61.2%), uterine (78.5%), and ovarian (41.6%) all had lower survival in the border counties.  Conclusion  Comparing New Mexico to the other regions in the SEER 18 database, both cancer incidence and survival are consistently lower; these findings could be explained by lower access to healthcare, which can result in underreporting and delays in diagnosis.

Incidence and Survival for Common Cancers Are Lower in New Mexico and Along the US-Mexico Border Than Elsewhere in the United States
