13 Background: Gastric Cancer is a major cause of death and a substantial socioeconomic burden in Korea. The National Cancer Screening Program for Medicaid recipients was initiated in 1999 and has contributed to reduction of cancer-related mortality in Korea. Endoscopy may be cost-effective screening tool in Korea, where the cost of endoscopy and UGIS are similar and the gastric cancer incidence is high. Most of Japanese studies on the efficiency of mass screening for gastric cancer have dealt with photoflurography as a screening tool. Although biennial gastric cancer screening by endoscopy has been increasing in Korea as part of the National Cancer Screening Program, few studies have evaluated its efficiency. Therefore, we analyzed the outcomes and efficiency of the National Cancer Screening Program for gastric cancer using endoscopy in Korea. Methods: We reviewed results from the National Cancer Screening Program for gastric cancer at Chung-Ang University Yongsan Hospital in Korea from March 2003 to March 2008. The study population was comprised of Medicaid recipients ≥ 40 years of age who were taken from the National Health Insurance Corporation. Results: A total of 7,278 asymptomatic subjects underwent endoscopy for gastric cancer screening. The mean age of the screened subjects was 51.3 years for men and 48.9 years for women. The male to female ratio of the screened subjects was 1.2:1. Gastric cancer was diagnosed in 32 (0.44%) of 7,278 subjects (22 men and 10 women). Their mean age was 54.4 years. Of these, 21 subjects (0.29%) were diagnosed as early gastric cancer and 11 subjects (0.15%) were advanced gastric cancer. The proportion of EGCs among total gastric cancers was 65.6%. The compliance with this program was low (59% for men and 49% for women). Conclusions: Despite accomplishments of the National Cancer Screening Program for gastric cancer in Korea, its effectiveness remains an issue. Efficiency and cost-effectiveness analysis will be needed for successful progression. No significant financial relationships to disclose.
