Pilot Study of Stomach Cancer Early Detection and Prevention with Endoscopy (Pilot-SCREEN).
Primary Objective:
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the acceptability and feasibility of EGD SC.
Secondary Objectives:
1. Estimate Median added time needed for EGD at the time of routine screening colonoscopy
2. Estimate the frequencies of adverse events
3. Estimate the percentage of pre-cancer and cancerous lesions, including the frequencies of H. pylori infection, chronic atrophic gastritis, IM, dysplasia and GC among this high GC risk population
4. Investigate whether high-risk racial/ethnicity groups have different likelihood of uptake of EGD, and whether the likelihood is associated with patient beliefs, attitudes and knowledge of GC, perceptions of risk, motivators and barriers, and sociocultural factors, as well as patient preference and satisfaction with EGD-SC.
