This is a prospective, multicenter, cross-sectional study. The efficacy of fecal H. pylori gastric cancer susceptibility testing in predicting gastric cancer was evaluated by comparing fecal H. pylori gastric cancer susceptibility testing with the "gold standard" imaging tests, such as CT, gastroscopy, and/or pathology, in the enrolled population.
Primary study objective: to assess the sensitivity and specificity of fecal H. pylori gastric cancer susceptibility locus-based testing applied to predict gastric cancer. Secondary research objectives: 1. the accuracy, kappa value, area under the ROC curve, positive likelihood ratio, negative likelihood ratio, positive predictive value, negative predictive value of fecal H. pylori gastric cancer susceptibility locus test applied to predict gastric cancer; 2. whether the predictive ability is significantly higher than that of the conventional tumor markers, such as CA19-9, CEA, and CA72-4, etc.; and 3. combined with fecal methylation detection Predictive ability assessment. The "fecal H. pylori-based gastric cancer susceptibility locus test" was compared with the "gold standard" CT, gastroscopy and/or pathology, and the results were analyzed for consistency.

In the early stage of the study, the team used genome-wide association analysis (GWAS) to identify H. pylori specific SNP that are significantly associated with gastric cancer in gastric cancer patients and controls; according to the mutation or not of the SNP loci, the strains were categorized into the high-risk group of gastric cancer (mutated group) and the low-risk group (un-mutated group). The mutation status of the SNP locus was detected in portable and non-invasive fecal samples from patients using molecular biology assays for early non-invasive screening and risk assessment of gastric cancer in H. pylori infected patients.
completed all phases of the study
The endpoint of the study will be reached if the participant has completed all phases of the study according to the study protocol (i.e., has completed sample collection, testing, and obtained "gold standard" gastroscopy and/or pathology results) or has withdrawn informed consent.
