摘要: Aims Interval cancer is a key factor that influences the effectiveness of screening program. To evaluate impact interval on endoscopic screening, survival rates patients with were analyzed. Methods We performed gastric cancer-specific and all-causes analyses screen-detected in group radiographic using Kaplan-Meier method. Since was 1 year, defined as detected within year after negative result. A Cox proportional hazards model used to investigate risk factors associated death. Results A total 1,493 (endoscopic group: n = 347; 166; outpatient 980) identified from Tottori Cancer Registry 2001 2008. The higher than outpatients group. In group, rate nearly equal (P 0.869). 0.009). For death, hazard ratio 0.216 for death (95%CI: 0.054-0.868) compared group. Conclusion The among not significantly different annual screening. These results suggest potential reducing mortality cancer.
