Abstract:
Malignant tumors can be prevented, controlled, and cured. We could reduce the mortality of malignant tumor and improve prognosis of patients through screening and early detection and therapy. The prevention and control of malignant tumors in general population attach importance in China and series of blueprints and policies have been launched since last half a century. We have achieved remarkable progress in screening and early detection and therapy of malignant tumors with great support from government. We highlight the milestones of screening and early detection and therapy of malignant tumors in China and the organization and management of current national programs. We focus on the overview of eight malignant tumors included in current national screening programs. We summarize high quality evidence of screening of neoplasia in China. We reveal issues and challenges encountered in the practice currently and envisage where should we go in future for screening and early detection and therapy of tumors in China. We will further improve capacity of screening and early detection and therapy of tumor and promote action of prevention and control of tumor through implementation of policy of government leading, multiple cooperation, and involvement of whole society based on the guideline of prioritizing prevention, combining prevention and therapy, shifting forward of early detection, allocating the resource in low-income areas.
