Objective:To compare the value of new gastric cancer screening scoring system and serum pepsinogen (PG) combined with gastrin-17 (G-17) (new ABC method) in screening gastric cancer and precancerous lesions.Methods:A total of 576 patients were enrolled after the examination of endoscopy at Endoscopy Center,Department of Gastroenterology,from December 2017 to December 2019. There were 275 males and 301 females with an age of 40-72 (52±10) years. According to the new ABC method and the new gastric cancer screening scoring system, the population was divided into three groups according to age,gender,serum helicobacter pylori antibody test, PG Ⅰ/PG Ⅱ(PGR) and G-17 before endoscopy. The detection rates of gastric cancer and atrophic gastritis by two different methods were analyzed and the value in screening gastric cancer and precancerous lesions were evaluated. Statistical analysis was accomplished by Chi-square test and Gamma coefficient analysis. Results:A total of 576 patients were enrolled. According to the new ABC method, 382 patients were classified into low-risk group, 170 patients into middle-risk group and 24 patients into high-risk group, respectively. In the new ABC method, 1 case of gastric cancer (0.3%) was detected in low-risk group, 8 cases (4.7%) in middle-risk group and 3 cases (12.5%) in high-risk group. As for atrophic gastritis, 89 cases (23.3%) was detected in low-risk group, 94 cases (55.3%) in middle-risk group and 18 cases (75.0%) in high-risk group. According to the new gastric cancer screening scoring system, 336 patients were classified into low-risk group, 205 patients into middle-risk group and 35 patients into high-risk group, respectively. One case of gastric cancer (0.3%) was detected in low-risk group, 6 cases (2.9%) in middle-risk group and 5 cases (14.3%) in high-risk group. As for atrophic gastritis, 41 cases (12.2%) were detected in low-risk group, 134 cases (65.4%) in middle-risk group and 26 cases (74.3%) in high-risk group. In this two methods, the prevalence of gastric cancer increased according to the disease stage ( χ2 =22.509, P<0.01; χ2=24.156, P<0.01); in terms of atrophic gastritis, the detection rate of the new screening scoring system in the low-risk group was significantly lower than that in the new ABC method ( χ2=14.844, P<0.01), but higher in the middle-risk group ( χ2=3.955, P=0.047). Gamma coefficient test showed that there were strong correlations between gastroscopy pathology and classification grade of both methods ( P<0.01). Conclusions:Both methods are suitable for screening gastric cancer and precancerous lesions, and the new scoring system may be more valuable in screening gastric cancer and precancerous lesions.

Objective:To evaluate the new scoring system for gastric cancer screening and risk assessment of gastric precancerous lesions.Methods:A total of 442 patients who underwent endoscopy due to stomach discomfort at the First Hospital of Jiaxing from March 2018 to September 2019 were enrolled. The patients were divided into three groups based on the new scoring system for gastric cancer screening before endoscopy: low-risk group (0-11 points), median-risk group (12-16 points) and high-risk group (17-23 points). The detection rates of gastric cancer and atrophic gastritis in three groups were analyzed. According to the range or degree of atrophy or intestinal metaplasia, patients were divided into five groups of stage 0 to Ⅳ based on the operative link for gastritis assessment (OLGA) or operative link for gastritis intestinal metaplasia (OLGIM). The correlation between the new gastric cancer screening scoring system and OLGA or OLGIM staging system were evaluated.Results:Among 442 patients, 211 were assigned to low-risk group, 207 median-risk group and 24 high-risk group according to the new scoring system. For OLGA staging system, there were 241 cases of stage-0, 105 of stage-Ⅰ, 58 stage-Ⅱ, 27 stage-Ⅲ and 11 stage-Ⅳ. For OLGIM staging system, there were 224 cases of stage-0, 113 stage-Ⅰ, 61 stage-Ⅱ, 31 stage-Ⅲ and 13 stage-Ⅳ. The pepsinogen (PG) Ⅰ and pepsinogen ratio (PGR) levels had differences among different OLGA stages ( F=2.844, P=0.027; F=5.435, P=0.001), and these two variables at Stage-Ⅲ and Ⅳ were significantly lower than three other OLGA stages (all P<0.001). The PGR level had differences among different OLGIM stages ( F=3.887, P=0.008), which was significantly lower at Stage-Ⅳ than at other OLGIM stages (all P<0.001). Gamma coefficient analysis and Kendall′s tau-b analysis showed significant correlations between OLGA/OLGIM staging system and new gastric cancer screening scoring system ( P<0.001). Conclusion:The new scoring system is reliable for gastric cancer screening, and is closely linked with OLGA/OLGIM staging system in the risk assessment of gastric precancerous lesions.
