Cervical cancer incidence among Inuit is high. Especially women from Greenland exhibit rates which are among the highest in the world. Compared with women in Denmark, USA and Canada, Inuit women have a 3-4 time higher cervical cancer risk. By contrast, the incidence of uterine corpus cancer is low in the Circumpolar area. Both in Greenlandic and Canadian Inuit women, ovarian cancer rates are similar to those in Danish women and non-Inuit women from Canada respectively. Only 9 cases of placenta cancer were recorded in the Circumpolar area during the 20 years of observation. Compared with available incidence rates for Denmark the incidence in Greenland was significantly higher.
因纽特人中宫颈癌发病率很高。尤其是来自格陵兰的女性，其发病率位居世界前列。与丹麦、美国和加拿大的女性相比，因纽特女性患宫颈癌的风险高出3至4倍。相比之下，环北极地区子宫体癌的发病率较低。在格陵兰和加拿大的因纽特女性中，卵巢癌发病率分别与丹麦女性和加拿大非因纽特女性相似。在20年的观察期内，环北极地区仅记录到9例胎盘癌病例。与丹麦的现有发病率相比，格陵兰的发病率显著更高。
