Abstract: Cancer is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Due to population aging, lifestyle variation and other factors, the morbidity and mortality of cancer continue to rise in China, resulting in a serious public health problem threating people's health. In response to this increasingly serious problem, tremendous efforts have been made in China, including the development of a series of policies and measures for specific needs of cancer prevention and treatment. Currently, China's strategy to reduce the disease burden of cancer mainly focuses on primary and secondary prevention. This paper summarizes the current status of disease burden of cancer and the performance of three-grade cancer prevention in China.
