“…Smith (1957) reports no difference between US Indians and whites in their experience of gastric cancer. Warwick and Phillips (1954) suggest this is also the case for the Canadian Indians and whites. NewiU (1961) found that mortality from gastric cancer in the over-45s in New York was highest among the Jews, slightly lower among the Protestants, and lowest among the Catholics.…”

An attempt is made to synthesize the epidemiological literature and identify salient factors from the multitude of potential antecedents of gastric cancer, factors which to a greater or lesser degree create nonrandom variations in the distribution of the disease. Implicit in this approach is the notion that observation of spatial variations in the incidence of gastric cancer may lead to hypotheses relating to the biological, personal and physical environmental factors. An extensive bibliography accompanies the text.

“…It appears that Moore did, in fact, work closely with Warwick to compile a list of all cases of cancer observed within Southern Canadian Indian hospitals. They would also collaborate on an epidemiological study which was published in the British Journal of Cancer in 1954 under the title "Cancer Among the Canadian Indians" (Warwick and Phillips 1954). Although this study aligned itself with the field of geographic pathology, explicitly citing the 1950 Regent's Park College Symposia and drawing on the published work of the Committee's membership, Warwick and Moore's examination was a large departure from the pathological project that Stewart initially requested in the summer of 1952.…”

ArgumentIn August of 1977, Australian pathologist David W. Buntine delivered a presentation at the Annual Meeting of the Royal College of Pathologists of Australia in Melbourne, Victoria. In this presentation, he used the diagnostic category of “Eskimoma,” to describe a unique set of salivary gland tumors he had observed over the past five years within Winnipeg’s Health Sciences Center. Only found amongst Inuit patients, these tumors were said to have unique histological, clinical, and epidemiological features and were unlike any other disease category that had ever been encountered before. To understand where this nosological category came from, and its long-term impact, this paper traces the historical trajectory of the “Eskimoma.” In addition to discussing the methods and infrastructures that were essential to making the idea of Inuit cancer “visible,” to the pathologist, the epidemiologist, and to society at large, this paper discusses how Inuit tissue samples obtained, stored, and analyzed in Winnipeg, Manitoba, came to be codified into a new, racially based disease category – one that has guided Canadian and international understandings of circumpolar cancer trends and shaped northern healthcare service delivery for the past sixty years.
