To investigate the participation rates in gastric, liver, colorectal, breast, and cervical cancer screening in Korea, including both organised and opportunistic programmes, a nationwide interview survey using multi-stage random sampling was conducted in 2010. A total of 4,056 cancer-free men aged over 40 years and women aged 30 years participated. Lifetime screening rates ranged from 54.2% (liver cancer) to 79.5% (breast cancer) and rates of screening in accordance with guidelines ranged from 22.9% (liver cancer) to 65.1% (gastric cancer). Upper endoscopy was the preferred method for gastric cancer, whereas the faecal occult blood test was conducted most often for colorectal cancer. The main reason stated for non attendance was 'no symptoms'. To increase attendance at cancer-screening programmes, efforts to increase education and accessibility of screening programmes are necessary.
为调查韩国胃癌、肝癌、结直肠癌、乳腺癌和宫颈癌筛查的参与率，包括有组织的和机会性的筛查项目，2010年采用多阶段随机抽样方法开展了一项全国性访谈调查。共有4056名40岁以上无癌症的男性和30岁以上女性参与。终生筛查率从54.2%（肝癌）到79.5%（乳腺癌）不等，遵循指南的筛查率从22.9%（肝癌）到65.1%（胃癌）不等。上消化道内镜检查是胃癌的首选方法，而粪便潜血试验在结直肠癌筛查中使用最为频繁。未参加筛查的主要原因是“无症状”。为提高癌症筛查项目的参与率，有必要努力加强筛查项目的宣传教育并提高其可及性。
