China, as the one of the largest developing countries in the world and with about one‐fifth of
the global population, is bearing an increasing burden on health from cancer. In the area of …

Background and aims Esophageal cancer risk prediction models allow for risk‐stratified
endoscopic screening. We aimed to assess the quality of these models developed in the …

Background Esophageal cancer (EC) is a global health problem. Asia represents a huge
burden of EC globally, and incidence and mortality vary considerably across different Asian …

Background: Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is the most prevalent
histological type of esophageal cancer, but there is a lack of definite prognostic markers for …

Importance Assessment tools are lacking for screening of esophageal squamous cell cancer
(ESCC) in China, especially for the follow-up stage. Risk prediction to optimize the …

Background Most lung cancer risk prediction models were developed in European and
North‐American cohorts of smokers aged≥ 55 years, while less is known about risk profiles …

Background and Aims Risk-stratified endoscopic screening (RSES) has been suggested to
improve screening efficiency. We aimed to assess the cost-effectiveness of RSES and …

Background Previous risk prediction models taking esophageal malignant lesions detected
during endoscopy as the primary outcome are not always sufficient to identify prevalent …

The toll-like receptor (TLR) family is an important class of proteins involved in the immune
response. However, little is known about the association between TLRs and Esophageal …

Objective: The risk prediction model is an effective tool for risk stratification and is expected
to play an important role in the early detection and prevention of esophageal cancer. This …
