Differential Rates of Early Gastric Cancer in the Urban and Rural Medical Centers of Hangzhou, China
The diagnosis rate of EGC is significantly lower in rural than in urban. Rural patients are more likely to seek endoscopy because they are symptomatic and are less likely to undergo endoscopy for health screening, surveillance for chronic atrophic gastritis, or laboratory abnormality. Enhanced health education and awareness programs in rural areas are needed to encourage proactive endoscopic screening and surveillance.
