Early Detection of Cancer

Early Detection of cancer, Gastrointestinal Neoplasms, Endoscopy, Gastrointestinal
Brief summary
Despite improvements in a range of chemo, radio and surgical therapies, the overall survival at 5 years from gastrointestinal cancer remains poor. Endoscopic early diagnosis is a key strategy to improve survival but the detection rate of early cancer varies among different countries. Risk factor questionnaire result is easy to be obtained and may be of great help for improving the detection rate. The aim of this research is to validate a risk factor questionnaire to help predict gastrointestinal cancer therefore allowing earlier diagnosis and higher detection rate.
Interventions
OTHERResult masking
The quality control system randomly shows the RFQ result to the endoscopists and keep 50% of the RFQ results are not known (deliberately showing N/A) by the endoscopists before and during the endoscopy.
