This study found that patients with PT in AoNZ were significantly overrepresented in Asian, Pasifika and MELAA ethnic groups. Pasifika patients may be at an increased risk of presenting at a younger age with larger, higher grade tumours when compared with European patients. Further research is required to investigate the reasons behind these findings in minority ethnic groups.
