ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Approximately 10% of gastric carcinomas are associated with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). The Inuit in Greenland have a high incidence of EBV-associated nasopharyngeal carcinoma.METHODS:
We conducted a population-based case-control study comparing gastric carcinomas in Greenland and in Denmark.RESULTS:
The prevalence rate of EBV-associated gastric carcinomas was 8.5% in both populations.CONCLUSION:
The findings of this study argue against a general susceptibility to EBV-associated carcinomas among the Inuit.
