Aims Background: Mongolia is the leading country by the incidence and mortality rate of gastric. In 2022 national cancer screening program for upper gastrointestinal neoplasia was initiated therefore we conducted the multi-center study for determining the gastric cancer among Mongolian population. Methods Methods: The cross sectional study was performed to screen the precancerous lesion (LGD, Atypia) and cancerous lesion (HGD, adenocarcinoma, signet cell carcinoma etc.) assessed among the people who underwent gastric endoscopy in 28 endoscopy centers in Mongolia during from May of 2022 to September of 2022. (Endoscopic centers of Ulaanbaatar city's 9 district and 21 provinces). The primary outcomes of this study was to define detection rate (proportion of positive cases among individuals who underwent endoscopic screening) and to determine the characteristics of cancer type including its precursor disease. Results Results: Totally 34,581 people were screened from May 2022 to September 2022. Among them n=262 (0.8%) patients diagnosed with gastric cancer based on endoscopic examination. The proportion of early stage gastric cancer was n=135 (51.5%) of all screened cancer cases. Conclusions Conclusion: The initiation of Mongolian national gastric cancer screening program was useful to detect gastric cancer in early stage which further can reduce mortality rate of gastric cancer due to its treatment possibilities. Therefore, national screening program should be continuous.
