Once it is discovered later, the survival rate will drop sharply. In the case of lung cancer, the 5-year survival rate of the second stage drops to 59.2%, and the remaining 12.6% in the fourth stage.

However, in the second stage of cervical cancer, oral cancer, female breast cancer, and colorectal cancer, the survival rate is still more than 70% to 95%, and in the fourth stage, the survival rate drops to less than 38%.

Wu Zhaojun, director of the National Health Administration, said that screening can effectively reduce cancer mortality. In previous years, the annual screening for cancer was about 5 million person-times. After the outbreak of COVID-19, the number of screenings decreased greatly. 16 to 17%. In 2021, it will decrease by 16% compared to 2020. In 2022, the total number of cancer screenings will be about 4.35 million. Take advantage of the enemy's opportunity.

Lin Liru, head of the Cancer Prevention and Control Team of the National Health Service, also reminded that the median age of onset of all cancers in 2020 is 64 years old, which is the same as the previous year. The medians were 50, 56, and 58 years old, respectively.

In addition, the incidence of esophageal cancer and oral cancer is particularly high in men, 14.6 times and 10.6 times higher than women, respectively, which are related to smoking, betel nut chewing and drinking habits.

Lin Liru said that at present, thyroid cancer, skin cancer, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, and uterine body cancer currently lack evidence-based screening tools in the world. Follow-up treatment is still the key to success in the fight against cancer.
