Background: Upper gastrointestinal precancerous lesions (UGPL) is the major preventable disease in non-high-incidence area. A prognostic nomogram was constructed to predict and identity susceptible population of UGPL before endoscope screening.
Methods: We recruited 300 ,016 eligible participants for upper gastrointestinal cancer (UGC) screening aged 40-74 years from two cities in Hunan province from 2012 to 2019.
Article Synopsis
- A cluster-randomized controlled trial was carried out in two urban cities in China to assess the effectiveness of a screening method for upper gastrointestinal cancer (UGC) using questionnaires and endoscopies in areas with low UGC incidence.
- The study involved 75 communities split into a screening group (38 communities) and a control group (37 communities), with a participation rate of 74.3% and over 10,000 individuals recruited.
- Results indicated that while the screening identified a small number of early-stage cancers and precancerous lesions, the overall detection rate was low, suggesting a need for improved community-based screening strategies in such low-incidence areas.
