Cancer is one of the leading causes of human death worldwide. Treatment of cancer exhausts significant medical resources, and the morbidity and mortality caused by cancer is a huge social burden. Cancer has therefore become a serious economic and social problem shared globally. As an increasingly prevalent disease in China, cancer is a huge challenge for the country's healthcare system. Based on recent data published in the Journal of the National Cancer Center on cancer incidence and mortality in China in 2016, we analyzed the current trends in cancer incidence and changes in cancer mortality and survival rate in China. And also, we examined several key risk factors for cancer pathogenesis and discussed potential countermeasures for cancer prevention and treatment in China.
癌症是全球范围内导致人类死亡的主要原因之一。癌症的治疗耗费了大量的医疗资源,其发病率和死亡率给社会带来了巨大的负担。因此,癌症已成为全球共同面临的严重经济和社会问题。在中国,癌症的发病率不断上升,这给中国的医疗体系带来了巨大的挑战。根据《国家癌症中心杂志》最近公布的 2016 年中国癌症发病率和死亡率数据,我们分析了中国癌症发病率的现状和变化趋势,以及癌症死亡率和生存率的变化,并探讨了癌症发病的一些关键风险因素,讨论了中国癌症防治的潜在对策。
