Creating a personalized risk score for gastric cancer
PRECISE - a PErsonalized Risk Score for gastrIc CancEr
This study is working to create a personalized risk score for gastric cancer to help identify people, especially from underserved ethnic and racial groups, who are at higher risk, so that we can offer them better support and prevention programs.

What this research studies
This research aims to develop a personalized risk score for gastric cancer by utilizing advanced data analytics and real-world clinical data. The goal is to identify individuals at the highest risk for gastric cancer, particularly among underserved ethnic and racial groups. By pinpointing these high-risk individuals, targeted risk reduction programs can be implemented to improve health equity and outcomes. The research is led by a board-certified gastroenterologist with expertise in gastrointestinal cancer and epidemiology.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research include individuals from ethnic and racial groups that are disproportionately affected by gastric cancer.
Not a fit: Patients who do not belong to high-risk ethnic or racial groups for gastric cancer may not receive benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to more effective prevention strategies and improved health outcomes for individuals at risk of gastric cancer.
How similar studies have performed: Other research has shown success in using data science to address cancer disparities, indicating that this approach has potential for impactful outcomes.
