Cancer surveillance in two populations, the Native American population and the rural, poor, predominantly white population of Appalachia, demands more attention from the data collectors because of the problem with racial misclassification of the former and the sparse information on the socioeconomic status of the latter. It would be incorrect to assume that progress in the national fight against cancer is being met for these populations.
