Cultivating innovative medical talents is a key strategy for enhancing a hospital's core competitiveness.Taking Zhejiang Cancer Hospital as a case study,this paper constructs a lifelong training system for innovative medical talents based on the"Triple-Phase Cultivation Framework(three stages,four integrations,five mechanisms)".This system delineates the cultivation cycle in-to three stages aligned with talent development trajectories:the"30s Start-up Phase"(young talents under 35),the"40s Growth Phase"(core professionals under 45),and the"50s Breakthrough Phase"(academic leaders under 50).It implements a four-dimensional cultivation model integrating medicine with research,education,engineering/informatics,and industry.Furthermore,a com-prehensive guarantee mechanism is established,encompassing policies & systems,platform re-sources,project drivers,financial investment,and talent teams.Practice demonstrates that this system has significantly enhanced talent development effectiveness.Over the past five years,the hospital has established 2 academician workstations and recruited 10 academician teams.The annual number of postdoctoral researchers has surged from 4 in 2020 to 58 in 2024.A total of 71 innova-tive talents have been selected across three batches,with 69 recognitions in provincial/ministerial-level talent programs,placing the hospital among the leaders within hospitals directly under the Zhejiang Provincial Health Commission.Notably,the hospital achieved a"zero breakthrough"in in-dependently cultivating national-level talents,including recipients of the National Ten-Thousand Talent Program(Young Top Talents)and the Postdoctoral Innovative Talent Support Program.The"Triple-Phase Cultivation Framework"establishes a replicable paradigm for nurturing innovative medical talents through its full-career-cycle approach,multidisciplinary integration,and systematic support mechanisms,offering valuable insights for talent strategies in specialized cancer hospitals.

Under the context of the research-oriented hospital construction strategy and national medical talent cultivation policies,postdoctoral research stations have emerged as vital platforms for assembling high-level innovative talents.Based on the construction practices of the postdoctoral research station at Zhejiang Cancer Hospital,this paper focuses on its development trajectory from humble beginnings to being recognized as the only"Excellent medical institution-affiliated post-doctoral work station"in Zhejiang Province.It analyzes the achievements in constructing high-standard organizational management systems,high-caliber mentor teams,and high-investment talent support systems.Addressing existing challenges,the study proposes development strategies in-cluding broadening recruitment channels,exploring diversified training models,striving for inde-pendent recruitment authority,and promoting synergistic development with research-oriented hos-pital initiatives.The aim is to provide replicable experience and insights for postdoctoral platforms in tumor specialty hospitals to empower the construction of research-oriented hospitals.

Objective: To investigate the characteristics of malignant tumor incidence and mortality in cancer registration areas of Zhejiang Province in 2021. Methods: Based on the 2021 cancer registration data from 22 national cancer registries in Zhejiang Province, the crude incidence, crude mortality, and cumulative rate for 0 to 74 years were calculated. Age standardized was performed using the age composition of the standard population from the Fifth National Population Census in 2000 and Segi's world standard population. The incidence and mortality characteristics of malignant tumor in different genders, urban/rural areas and ages were described. The order of crude incidence and mortality of malignant tumor were analyzed. Results: In 2021, there were 116 639 new malignant tumor cases in Zhejiang Province. The crude, Chinese population standardized, and world population-standardized incidences were 530.93/100 000, 304.83/100 000, and 288.20/100 000, respectively. The cumulative incidence for 0 to 74 years was 31.92%. There were 40 475 death cases. The crude, Chinese population-standardized, and world population-standardized mortalities were 184.24/100 000, 79.40/100 000, and 78.97/100 000, respectively. The cumulative mortality for 0 to 74 years was 8.37%. The Chinese population-standardized incidence for males and females were 286.34/100 000 and 323.45/100 000, respectively, and the Chinese population-standardized mortality were 106.25/100 000 and 54.17/100 000, respectively. The Chinese population-standardized incidence for urban and rural were 316.85/100 000 and 285.11/100 000, respectively, and the Chinese population-standardized mortality were 75.59/100 000 and 85.48/100 000, respectively. The crude incidence and crude mortality of malignant tumor both increased with age, peaking in the groups aged 80-<80 and ≥85 years at 1 845.06/100 000 and 1 656.88/100 000, respectively. The top ten malignant tumors with the highest crude incidence were, in descending order: lung cancer, thyroid cancer, breast cancer, prostate cancer, colorectal cancer, gastric cancer, liver cancer, cervical cancer, lymphoma, and brain tumors. These accounted for 80.34% of all new malignant tumor cases. The top ten malignant tumors with the highest crude mortality were, in descending order: lung cancer, liver cancer, colorectal cancer, gastric cancer, pancreatic cancer, prostate cancer, breast cancer, esophageal cancer, lymphoma, and gallbladder cancer. These accounted for 82.26% of all malignant tumor deaths. Conclusions In 2021, the cancer registration areas of Zhejiang Province were characterized by a relatively high malignant tumor incidence and a comparatively low mortality compared to national data. Males and the elderly emerged as key populations for targeted prevention and control. It is recommended to enhance screening, early diagnosis, and early treatment for lung cancer, thyroid cancer, prostate cancer, breast cancer, and gastric cancer malignancies.
