Background: Screening for upper gastrointestinal cancer (UGC) effectively reduces morbidity and mortality in gastric and esophageal cancers. It is considered one of the effective measures for cancer control in China, but studies on its functional quality are lacking. Our study assessed the quality of screening service funded by Upper Gastrointestinal Cancer Early diagnosis and treatment (UGCEDAT) and its correlation in Yangzhong People's hospital, China.

Design: Cross-sectional study.
Participants: A total of 21 175 participants aged 40-69 years were enrolled in the study.
Objective: To understand the exposure levels of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons(PAHs) and the expression of interleukin-2(IL-2), interferon-γ(IFN-γ), interleukin-4(IL-4), interleukin-10(IL-10) in peripheral blood of coke oven workers exposed to coke oven emissions(COEs). The other purpose of this study was to understand the performance of IFN-γ and IL-10 epigenetic mechanisms in COEs exposure damage.
Methods: The 85 workers exposed to COEs in a coking plant were randomly selected as the exposure group.
