A recent study conducted by researchers at Sun Yat-sen University in Guangzhou, China, explored the cost-effectiveness of different screening strategies for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) in high-risk endemic areas of China. The study found that polygenic risk-stratified screening, which incorporates genetic data, was more cost-effective than age-based screening for individuals aged 30-54. For men, screening strategies with a 1-year frequency and a 10-year absolute risk threshold of 0.7% or higher were found to be cost-effective. However, for individuals aged 55-69, age-based screening was more cost-effective for men, while no screening may be preferred for women. This research provides valuable guidance for NPC prevention and control policies in endemic areas of China. [Extracted from the article] |
