| Abstract | To examine disease-specific survival from prostate cancer by ethnic group in New Zealand.Analyses were based on the 7,733 men with histologically confirmed prostate cancer diagnosed from the start of 1996 to the end of 1999 in New Zealand. Five-year adjusted prostate-specific mortality rates and hazard ratios were calculated for Maori, Pacific, and European men.In univariate analyses, Maori and Pacific men had higher mortality particularly in the first year after a diagnosis of prostate cancer than did European men. The strongest prognostic factors for prostate cancer were Gleason score and age. When survival analyses by ethnic group were adjusted for age and Gleason score the disparities in survival for Maori men and Pacific men with low-grade prostate cancers remained, with European men having the best survival.Several possible explanations have been proposed to explain the survival disparities by ethnicity in New Zealand. Differentials in Gleason grade of disease by ethnic group explain a lot of these disparities. Further data on stage of disease at diagnosis, co-morbidity, treatment, access to health services, and behavioral and environmental factors are needed to resolve these issues. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
