Abstract excerpt
Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and gastric cancer (GC) are influenced by genetic and lifestyle factors. We quantified genetic, lifestyle, and joint effects on upper gastrointestinal (UGI) cancer and evaluated the clinical utility of polygenic risk scores (PRS) for risk stratification. We included 5556 participants from a prospective endoscopy-screened cohort in high-risk regions (Linzhou, Cixian, and...
