Abstract

Epidemiological studies showed the incidence mortality rates of cancer were increasing in recent decades in Chinese population. National and regional preventive programs aim to reduce the health hazards of cancer and focuse the population at high risks for specific cancer, particularly in rural areas and to offer the access to early detection for multlple cancers in urban areas. The early screening, early detection and treatment have been put into operation for the population at risks in rural areas at first, and in the urban areas in recent years. To understand the epidemic patterns and trends of cancer, and the experiences in applying early detection strategies in China, selected literatures were reviewed for brief summary.

Keywords: Epidemiology; cancer; early detection; screening.
