The Fudan University Taizhou Institute of Health Sciences, in collaboration with Singlera in Yangzhou, has jointly designed a multi cancer scoring system that can calculate individual cancer risk.
This scoring system, covering various common cancers such as lung cancer, esophageal cancer, gastric cancer, and liver cancer, can efficiently screen high-risk populations from a large natural population, providing a basis for precise cancer prevention, grading management, and precision medical strategies.
The achievement has been published in the internationally renowned academic journal Biomarker Research.
The scoring system can stratify a large-scale population. If the comprehensive scoring result is that the population is high-risk for cancer, strict testing of special biomarkers is required. The medium-risk and low-risk populations can be tested reasonably according to the suggestions of researchers and their own needs.
"Individuals only need to provide basic information such as gender, age, and some clinically common blood biomarkers to automatically generate corresponding results in our designed web program, indicating whether further testing is needed," said Yuan Huangbo, a member of the research team.
This can save medical costs, and the entire operation process is simpler, making it easier to promote in large-scale populations, he added.
To build a more accurate prediction model, the research team also selected 42,666 middle-aged and elderly people aged 40 to 75 in Taizhou for a continuous follow-up period of up to 10 years.
