A Cohort Study of Mobile Capsule Gastroscopy for Gastric Pathologies Screening
Recruiting now
Conditions studied: Gastritis, Gastric Dysplasia, Gastric Ulcer, Gastric Cancer, Gastric Mass
In brief
The goal of this is to learn about the effectiveness and feasibility of a novel AI- assisted Mobile Capsule Gastroscopy (MCG) system for detecting gastric pathologies in elderly and high-risk populations. The main question it aims to answer is: Can MCG effectively detect gastric pathologies, including common gastric diseases, gastric cancer, and precancerous lesions, in elderly and high-risk individuals at community health centers? Participants will: Epidemiological, diagnostic, and post-MCG follow-up data generated during participants' involvement in the gastric pathologies public screening program will be collected.
