Comparative validation and local adaptation of gastric cancer risk assessment models in a large multicenter Chinese population.
Validated risk prediction tools adapted for Chinese populations support earlier gastric cancer detection when treatment is most effective.
This multicenter comparative validation study tested established gastric cancer risk stratification tools against a large Chinese population cohort, demonstrating consistent model performance with identified needs for local adaptation. The findings directly support precision-based early detection screening program design for gastric cancer, one of China's most prevalent and lethal malignancies.

Why it surfaced
Multicenter validation of gastric cancer risk models in a large Chinese population has direct screening program implementation relevance; external validation data fills a critical evidence gap for one of the highest-burden malignancies in China.
