Association of the interval between endoscopies with gastric cancer stage at diagnosis in a region of high prevalence

Endoscopy screening in high‐risk populations may reduce gastric cancer mortality by detecting cancer earlier. We evaluated the association between the interval between upper gastrointestinal endoscopies and the gastric cancer stage at diagnosis in patients from a region of high prevalence.
