Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to disclose which types of cancer and how many persons with cancer were detected among the AMHTS examinees of our AMHTS center by using the hospital information retrieval system, and to study the relationship between cancer and the number of examinees, checkup intervals, and frequency in AMHTS. The examinees who had checkups more than twice were divided into three groups based on their checkup intervals: within one year, one to two years, and over two years. The relationship between cancer ratios and checkup intervals was evaluated in each group of examinees. In those having checkups within one year and from one to two years the cancer rate was 2.9 patients per 1,000 persons. However, in those having checkups after a two-year period or longer, the cancer rate was 4.3, clearly greater than the rate of the other two groups.
