Gastric Cancer in Northern Canadian Populations: A Focus on Cardia and Non-Cardia Subsites

Abstract: In northern Canada where there is a high prevalence of Helicobacter pylori infection, there is a paucity of information on gastric cancer by the topographical subsites cardia (CGC) and non-cardia (NCGC). Here we describe the incidence of CGC and NCGC, separately, among northern Canadian populations. We used data from the Cancer Incidence in Five Continents Volumes X (CI5X) and XI (CI5XI) to obtain CGC and NCGC incidence for Canada and for Yukon (YT), a northern Canadian territory. Using these data with those p… Show more

“…Among the 11 highest incidence FSA found in our study, 4 (36%) were home to First Nation communities. These included the Miawpukek (A0H), We'koqma'q (B0E), Gaspé (G0E), and Essipit (G0T) communities [48][49][50] supporting recent literature showing 3-fold increase in gastric cancer incidence in Northern Canadian population [51]. In 2010, it was estimated that 28% of Inuit and 27% of First Nation community members experienced moderate to severe household food insecurity vs. 8% of average Canadians [52].…”

“…The highest incidence rates in our country corresponded to rural/remote communities where high rates of food insecurity, obesity, and/or other risk factors (e.g., visible minority, low SES) are well characterized. High incidence rates in First Nation communities were confirmed [51]. Identified high-risk communities should not be ignored as it is estimated that up to 30% of gastric cancer cases may be preventable through risk factor modification [75,76].…”

“…2,3,7 The pattern of gastric cancer in Indigenous Canadians and the Maori of New Zealand is similar to that in the AN population, with cancer occurring at higher rates in younger people and in women compared with their majority populations and with a higher proportion that are diffuse and noncardia in location. 8,9 Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) performed in Canadian Arctic communities found a high prevalence of severe gastritis and atrophy, 10 although treatment of H pylori was generally successful, and antimicrobial resistance was lower than that seen in Alaska.…”

“…Therefore, only one third of all diagnosed GC cases live beyond five years, which is one of the lowest cancer survival rates [3]. In some parts of the world, researchers have studied the geographical and temporal variation of GC with the sole purpose of understanding its propagation [4][5][6][7]. However, there is very limited information about the geographical variation in Canada.…”
