Note: ESCC, esophageal squamous cell carcinoma; GCA, gastric cardia adenocarcinoma; GNCA, gastric non-cardia adenocarcinoma; UGI, upper gastrointestinal cancer; Numbers in bold mean that the P value was less than 0.05; We found no evidence for a statistically significant interaction between APCA seropositivity and sex or age group (p>0.05).

b,

adjusted for age, tobacco smoking, alcohol drinking, body mass index, family history of UGI cancer, H. pylori CagA sero-positivity, and ratio of PG I/II.
