(Health Times reporter Xu Wei) "Is early diagnosis and treatment important to improve tumor survival?" Is! For all tumors," Xu Zhongfa, head of the early diagnosis and early treatment group of the Oncology Branch of the Chinese Medical Association and chairman of the Committee on Early Diagnosis and Early Treatment of Colorectal Oncology of the Chinese Physicians Association, said at the 2019 China Cancer Conference.Xu Zhongfa, head of the early diagnosis and early treatment group of the Oncology Branch of the Chinese Medical Association

early prevention and treatment means that the early stage of malignant tumor can be diagnosed and necessary treatment and intervention in the early stage and even before the tumor, in order to reduce the overall incidence of tumors and improve the overall cure rate.
example of colorectal cancer, the incidence of colorectal cancer in the United States decreased by 50 per cent between 1975 and 2000, 50 per cent because of screening; By 2015, the percentage of adults over the age of 50 in the U.S. receiving colonoscopies increased from 21 percent to 60 percent.
Xu Zhongfa, the decline in morbidity and mortality is mainly due to the use of colonoscopy, which is the most important screening method. If current colorectal cancer prevention and control measures continue to advance, the u.S. colorectal cancer mortality rate in the United States by 2020 will be reduced by up to 50 percent from 1975.
China's cancer screening is facing difficulties, including doctors and the public's weak awareness of early diagnosis and treatment, low positive rate of early screening projects, cancer screening has not yet established a unified national level of cancer patient registration, registration, and database system, early diagnosis and early treatment work is unbalanced, inadequate contradictions highlighted.
the National Cancer Center, which collects data from 347 cancer registration sites nationwide, forms the latest cancer data report for China in 2019, and the incidence of malignant tumors has increased by 3.9% annually for more than 10 years. In 2015, there were about 3.929 million cases of malignant tumors, with an average of more than 10,000 people diagnosed with cancer every day.
causes of cancer, from poor poverty and poor medical conditions, are morphing into poor habits. Prevention is the most cost-effective public health strategy in prevention and control. About 740,000 new diagnoses could be avoided in 2019, including alcohol overdoses, malnutrition, lack of exercise and overweight, according to the American Cancer Society.Xu Zhongfa,
, suggested that the consensus or norms of experts on early diagnosis and treatment of major tumors should be formulated, and promoted nationwide; At present, stomach cancer, esophageal cancer and other eight major tumors early diagnosis and treatment of the consensus is being prepared, will be promoted to the whole society.
