In February 2022, the National Cancer Center released the latest national cancer statistics. The national cancer registration center is responsible for the collection, quality control, summary, analysis and release of national cancer registration data. This study is based on Latest data from National Cancer Center , selected from 682 cancer surveillance sites in China. 487 High-quality monitoring points, covering a population of. 380 million , elaborated the burden of cancer diseases in China in 2016. Compared with 2015,The number of monitoring points reporting statistical data increased by 181., High-quality monitoring points increased by 119. It shows that the coverage of cancer registration in China has been gradually promoted, and the quality and standardization of data have been further improved, providing a more powerful scientific basis for the formulation of national health policies.

Death situation
In a word, the burden of malignant tumor in China is increasing day by day, the difference between urban and rural areas is great, the regional distribution is uneven, and the situation of cancer prevention and control is grim; The cancer spectrum of developed and developing countries coexist, so it is very difficult to prevent and treat it.
With the aggravation of aging, the data of cancer patients around the world began to increase. As the world’s most populous country, China’s cancer data is not optimistic. No matter the number of new cases or deaths, China ranks first in the world.
According to the World Health OrganizationInternational Agency for Research on Cancer(IARC) recently released the latest global cancer burden data in 2020.China has become a veritable cancer country..
Both climbed to the top: China ranked first in the world in new cases and deaths.
Global in 2020New cancer casesThere were 19.29 million cases, including 4.57 million new cancer cases in China, accounting for 23.7% of the world. As China is the world’s most populous country, the number of new cancer cases far exceeds that of other countries in the world.

Globally, due to the aging of the population, it is estimated that the cancer burden will increase by 50% in 2040 compared with 2020, and the number of new cancer cases will reach nearly 30 million. This is most obvious in countries undergoing social and economic transformation.
For China, bringing cancer prevention and treatment intervention into the health plan will help to reduce the cancer burden in the future, and at the same time promote the development of innovative anti-cancer drugs. A two-pronged approach of "prevention and treatment" can better reduce the cancer burden and protect people’s health.
