Abstract:
Objective Analyze the screening and follow-up data of the early diagnosis and treatment project for upper gastrointestinal cancer in Yiyuan County from 2010 to 2024, and understand the screening results and trends.
Methods Data were sourced from the early diagnosis and treatment program database of the Huaihe River Basin Cancer Early Diagnosis and Treatment Program, covering 48,205 cases in Yi Yuan County from 2010 to 2024. The χ² test was used to compare the differences in detection rates, early diagnosis rates, and treatment rates among groups, while Joinpoint 5.0.2 software was employed to analyze the trends.
Results The overall high-risk rate from 2010 to 2024 is 69.58%; The high-risk rate for males is 68.25%, while for females it is 70.77%. The high-risk rate for females is higher than that for males (χ2=35.907, P<0.001). Although there was a decrease in the high-risk rate of the population from 2010 to 2024, the difference was not statistically significant (AAPP=-3.65%, P=0.514). From the perspective of age distribution, the age group with the highest proportion of high-risk population is 50-54 years old, and the age group with the highest proportion of positive detection rate is 65-69 years old. The total positive detection rate was 1.07%, the total early diagnosis rate was 70.46%, and the total treatment rate was 95.02%; The positive detection rates of gastric cancer and esophageal cancer were 0.96% and 0.11%, respectively. The positive detection rate of gastric cancer was higher than that of esophageal cancer (χ2=177.92, P<0.01). The early diagnosis rate of esophageal cancer is 48.28%, and the early diagnosis rate of gastric cancer is 73.02%. The early diagnosis rate of gastric cancer is higher than that of esophageal cancer (χ2=7.65, P<0.01)
Conclusions The risk rate of gastric cancer in Yiyuan County is high, so it is necessary to carry out gastric cancer screening. In the next step, intervention measures should be increased to improve the screening effect of the project and reduce the incidence rate and mortality of gastric cancer.
