In an attempt to assess the impact of upper gastrointestinal endoscopy on the outcome of patients with gastric cancer, we have studied 483 patients with gastric cancer from three centres with differing endoscopic practice. The introduction of an open access general practitioners endoscopy service led to a 10-fold increase in the number of endoscopies being performed per head of population, but there was no demonstrable effect on prognosis or on the duration of symptoms before diagnosis. There was no increase in the proportion of early gastric cancer diagnosed.
为了评估上消化道内镜检查对胃癌患者治疗结果的影响,我们研究了来自三个内镜操作方式不同的中心的483例胃癌患者。开放获取的全科医生内镜检查服务的引入使人均内镜检查数量增加了10倍,但对预后或诊断前症状持续时间没有明显影响。早期胃癌的诊断比例也没有增加。
