Background: A cluster randomized controlled trial of endoscopy-based screening for esophageal cancer (EC) and gastric cancer (GC) was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and feasibility of this strategy in a non-high-incidence rural area of China. The trial design and baseline findings are presented here.
Methods: A total of 33 eligible villages in Luoshan County in Henan Province were assigned randomly to the intervention or control group in a 1:1 ratio by a computer-generated randomization list.
Article Synopsis
- The study examines the current status and time-trend of esophageal cancer (EC) in Henan, a high-risk area, to help improve prevention and control efforts.
- Data from the Henan Provincial Cancer registry were used to analyze the incidence and mortality rates of EC by demographic factors such as area (rural/urban), gender, and age.
- Findings revealed that, although EC incidence and mortality rates are higher in males and rural areas, both rates have shown a significant decreasing trend since 2014.
