Core Tip	This was a population-based retrospective study to evaluate the time trends and efficacy of population-based X-ray gastric cancer screening in Hiroshima over the last four decades. The number of participants and those requiring esophagogastroduodenoscopies has decreased significantly. The number of participants diagnosed as having gastric cancer has also declined. However, the rate of cases diagnosed as gastric cancer among the participants remained around 0.1%. The positive predictive value also increased significantly. The number and rate of accidentally detected esophageal cancers have risen recently. One gastric cancer diagnosis costs approximately 4200000 Japanese Yen (30000 United States Dollars) for the X-ray screenings and esophagogastroduodenoscopies.
