ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Opportunistic endoscopic screening for gastric cancer was initiated in 2004 at our institute. We investigated chronological trends in gastric cancer detection rates based on individual characteristics and atrophic gastritis prevalence.METHODS:
Overall, 15,081 asymptomatic individuals aged ≥40 years without a medical history of gastric cancer underwent first-time esophagogastroduodenoscopy in our institute between February 2004 and December 2017. We retrospectively investigated individual characteristics and endoscopic diagnoses by period (early period 2004-2007, middle period 2008-2012, and late period 2013-2017), clarified the long-term detection rate and the characteristics of endoscopic screening-detected gastric cancer, and evaluated the relationship between gastric cancer and atrophic gastritis.RESULTS:
Gastric cancer detection rates in the early, middle, and late periods were 1.01% (76/7,503, men/women 4,360/3,143, average age 59.4 years, prevalence of atrophic gastritis 72%), 0.69% (40/5,820, men/women 3,668/2,152, average age 56.8 years, prevalence of atrophic gastritis 48%), and 0.46% (8/1,758, men/women 1,083/675, average age 58.7 years, prevalence of atrophic gastritis 37%), respectively. Multivariate analysis revealed that male sex (odds ratio 1.92, 95% confidence interval 1.28-2.95), age ≥75 years (2.73, 95% CI 1.32-5.05), and atrophic gastritis (C1-C3 2.21, 1.36-3.73, O1-O3 5.36, 3.17-9.30) were significantly associated with the incidence of gastric cancer.CONCLUSIONS:
The gastric cancer detection rate and atrophic gastritis prevalence have decreased over time. However, continuing endoscopic screening is important, especially for those at a high risk of developing gastric cancer complicated by severe atrophic gastritis.Palabras clave
