On 6 march, the deputy director of the jiangxi health board of jiangxi province (chongqing, chen zhong network journalist), zhu shih ming, said that, this year, jiangxi province had included the screening of colon cancer among the top 10 key people, focusing on the 40-65 age group and the non-resident population, and planned to complete the initial screening of 700,000 people and the examination of 50,000 colonoscopy by the end of october。
According to chu, cancer has become a major public health problem that limits the lives and well-being of the population, and colon cancer is both a high incidence of malignant tumours in the country and in jiangxi province, with morbidity and mortality rates at the forefront and early symptoms hidden, with most patients diagnosed at the mid-term and late stages of treatment missing the best possible treatment. Screening for colon cancer and early treatment for high-risk groups can effectively reduce morbidity and mortality。
According to the information received, in 2025, jiangxi province integrated lung cancer screening and early intervention into the top 10 priority population events, focusing on the whole chain of cancer control “prevention, screening, diagnosis, treatment, well-being and management”, with early detection of patients, within-provincial diagnosis and treatment of approximately 75 per cent of patients, saving around 1. 03 billion yuan in medical care for the community, with an output of up to 1. 7. 9 million yuan, and building up a model for cancer control with its own characteristics and suitable for the actual situation throughout the province。
As a next step, the jiangxi health commission will focus on grass-roots organizations that will accurately involve age-appropriate target groups in screening. At the same time, one district (municipality, district) was selected for screening in each municipality. The pre-screening experiment, which involves hands-on exercises around the entire process of surveying questionnaires, detection of faeces, and examination of colonoscopy, continuously optimizes the screening process, refines technical programmes and builds a solid and practical foundation for the full province。
