Cutaneous malignancies in Indigenous Peoples of urban Sydney

ConclusionThis cohort has demonstrated late ‐stage presentation of skin cancers, with substantial morbidity and mortality from potentially treatable cutaneous malignancies.

There is an imperative to improve skin cancer awareness in this population to allow earlier detection and management to ensure better outcomes.
