Impact of a <scp>FIT</scp> Based Colorectal Cancer Screening Program on Gastric Cancer Incidence, Early Diagnosis and Patients' Survival
Despite the absence of a formal GC screening program, more than half of FIT-screened individuals who underwent colonoscopy also underwent UGIE. The period following the implementation of FIT-based screening was associated with increased early-stage detection and improved survival. These findings support the potential value of offering UGIE combined with colonoscopy for FIT-positive individuals, at least in regions with intermediate GC incidence.
