Abstract

Histologic specimens of gastric carcinoma from 128 Maori, Pacific Island Polynesian, and European patients in Auckland, New Zealand, were classified into intestinal or diffuse type. The ratio of intestinal to diffuse type (ID) was lowest (0.3) in the female Maori patients and highest (1.4) in the male Maori. The higher ID ratio reflects the increased risk of gastric carcinoma in the Maori men as compared with the other groups studied.
