China is one of the largest and most populated countries in the world. It has undergone rapid economic growth in recent years. However, the development is not equitable, and the distribution of wealth significantly varies among the regions in China. Geographical and socioeconomic inequalities, together with the lack of an equitable national social support system, cause the high variance of health outcomes among the regions. Furthermore, the fast growth of the economy has evoked many environmental challenges and puts much pressure on the population. The severe environmental deterioration, especially of the atmosphere and water bodies, has affected the health of the people living in China. As a result, cancer has become a major public health issue, and an alarming increase in incidence and mortality has been reported. However, cancer incidence and mortality vary in different areas in China. Cancer and cancer treatment disparities have existed for years. This article will discuss the existing health and cancer disparities associated with the risk factors and how these disparities are managed in China.
中国是世界上最大且人口最多的国家之一。近年来，中国经历了快速的经济增长。然而，发展并不均衡，财富分配在中国各地区之间存在显著差异。地理和社会经济不平等，再加上缺乏公平的国家社会支持体系，导致各地区健康结果差异很大。此外，经济的快速增长引发了许多环境挑战，给人口带来了巨大压力。严重的环境恶化，尤其是大气和水体的恶化，已经影响了中国居民的健康。结果，癌症已成为一个主要的公共卫生问题，且报告显示发病率和死亡率惊人地上升。然而，中国不同地区的癌症发病率和死亡率各不相同。癌症及癌症治疗差异已经存在多年。本文将讨论与风险因素相关的现有健康和癌症差异，以及中国是如何应对这些差异的。
