About this trial

This project aims to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of combined blood multi-gene methylation and fecal biomarkers for pan-digestive tract cancer screening, so as to establish a novel technical system for the early diagnosis of pan-digestive tract cancers.Individuals scheduled to receive digestive tract endoscopy are enrolled. Blood and stool samples are collected prior to endoscopic examination for detection of blood multi-gene methylation, fecal immunochemical test (FIT) and calprotectin. Endoscopic procedures are then performed. Following completion of baseline endoscopic screening, all enrolled participants will be followed up for 5 years. The primary endpoint of this study is the sensitivity and specificity of blood multi-gene methylation combined with fecal biomarkers in screening for pan-digestive tract cancers.

Eligibility criteria

This trial accepts healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

1.Subjects aged 45-74 years at enrollment; 2.Scheduled to undergo digestive tract endoscopic screening; 3.Agree to receive five-year follow-up in accordance with the study protocol; 4.Willing to provide written informed consent.

Disqualifiers

1. Having received upper gastrointestinal endoscopy within one year; 2.History of any type of malignant tumor; 3.Complicated with severe illnesses that reduce screening benefits, such as severe pulmonary, renal, hepatic, cardiovascular, cerebrovascular and hematological diseases; 4.Other conditions assessed by physicians as excessively high risk for endoscopic screening (e.g., hemodynamic instability) or non-beneficial (short life expectancy); 5.Pregnant or lactating women.

Trial population

Eligible subjects shall be aged 45 to 74 years at enrollment, scheduled to receive digestive tract endoscopic screening, willing to complete five-year follow-up as specified by the protocol, and capable of signing the informed consent form.
