Exploring the Path to Cancer Prevention and Early Detection and Treatment

On November 20, Dinghai Community Health Service Center invited several expert physicians from the Department of Oncology of Long March Hospital to the community to give a vivid lecture on cancer prevention and early diagnosis and treatment. At the same time, the project of “Demonstration Network of Cancer Prevention and Control Activities between Tertiary Hospitals and Community Health Service Centers” was launched, which will continue to provide community residents with authoritative and easy-to-understand cancer prevention and treatment knowledge and explore a road of cancer prevention and early diagnosis and treatment that can truly benefit the public. In the activity, experts from the Department of Oncology of Long March Hospital talked about “prevention and precancerous lesions of gastric cancer”, “how to prevent and detect intestinal cancer” and “means of intestinal cancer screening” respectively. In the activity, experts from the Department of Oncology of Long March Hospital analyzed and carefully explained “prevention and precancerous lesions of stomach cancer”, “how to prevent and detect bowel cancer”, “bowel cancer screening methods”, “common signs and symptoms of lung cancer”, etc., and demonstrated the methods of cancer prevention, early diagnosis and early treatment, so that the residents could understand more intuitively and thoroughly. After the lecture, the experts gave a lecture on cancer prevention and treatment. After the lecture, the experts gave a face-to-face “zero distance” solution and guidance to the residents’ concerns about cancer prevention and diagnosis and treatment. In order to facilitate residents’ understanding of cancer prevention and early diagnosis and treatment, they also handed out their own books “Essential Cancer Prevention Course” for stomach, intestinal, lung and breast cancers to the residents. “Through the activities, we enhance the public’s awareness of the importance of early diagnosis and treatment of cancer, raise awareness of cancer prevention and fight against cancer, enhance the ability to protect their own health, popularize scientific and standardized diagnosis and treatment concepts and methods to cancer patients, mobilize the power of the whole society to pay attention to the cause of tumor prevention and treatment, and build the first line of health defense.” Professor Zang Yuan-sheng, director of the Department of Oncology of Changzheng Hospital of the Second Military Medical University, said that the project of “implementation and effect evaluation of the series of scientific popularization of malignant tumor prevention and early diagnosis and treatment”, which is one of the contents of the 2015 Shanghai Science and Technology Innovation Action Plan, is planned to be piloted in 15 grassroots community service centers in the city, and Dinghai Community Health Dinghai Community Health Center is the first pilot unit in Yangpu District. The project aims to promote the popularization of cancer knowledge among the general public by establishing a linkage between tertiary hospitals and community primary care sites, focusing on community health center physicians and family doctors, and promoting the popularization of related knowledge among the general public “from one point to another”. “Lung cancer caused by atmospheric pollution is small, and it is often easy to be missed by ordinary medical checkups, while professionally trained community doctors and family doctors will provide scientific diagnosis and treatment suggestions for the target group in time.” Zang Yuan-sheng said, for example, at present, the update of medical equipment such as painless colonoscopy, capsule gastroscopy, high-frequency color ultrasound, multi-row spiral CT, the improvement of laboratory technology such as tumor marker screening, and the new diagnostic concept of subdividing by groups, family history and living habits at different levels provide the possibility of early diagnosis and treatment of malignant tumor diseases, and it is hoped that a scientific network of early diagnosis and treatment propaganda and practice can be established through the project platform. We hope to establish a scientific network for early diagnosis and treatment through the project platform, and provide patients with corresponding health guidance programs. The “two-way referral” mechanism helps patients to receive treatment and recovery “The experts from the tertiary hospitals not only send scientific knowledge on cancer prevention and early diagnosis and treatment to our community residents, but also establish a ‘two-way referral’ mechanism and open green channels for patients to receive the best treatment. to help them receive the best treatment and services.” Deng Xiaomin, director of Dinghai Community Health Service Center, told reporters that according to the project implementation plan, the oncology department of Long March Hospital will provide services such as scientific lectures, family doctor training, residents’ voluntary consultation, expert number reservation and green channel for consultation to Dinghai Community Health Service Center; Dinghai Community Health Service Center will also cooperate with the corresponding scientific activities and provide special services such as bed priority for patients’ subsequent rehabilitation. Dinghai Community Health Service Center has a total of 106 medical and technical personnel, serving more than 80,000 people in the district, and is a municipal model community health service center and a municipal residency training community teaching base. Since 2008, the center has been relying on the “home nurturing” service project carrier to carry out the service work for tumor patients in the mode of “combining team service and full-time service”. After exploration and improvement, the model of “government-led-expert guidance-general practice team providing services-family participation” has been formed, and rich experience in serving cancer patients has been accumulated. In the past three years, the tumor prevalence rate of Dinghai residents has been high and increasing year by year, reaching 23.87‰, 25.96‰ and 28.81‰ respectively. The current situation, which cannot be ignored, has raised higher requirements for the medical and nursing teams of community health service centers and family doctors to carry out preventive science services. After learning about the implementation of cancer prevention and treatment science popularization activities by Long March Hospital, the center took the initiative to strengthen the docking and promote the project with the involvement of the street. “With the project platform to strengthen the seamless connection with high-quality medical resources such as expert teams of tertiary hospitals and promote the level of tumor prevention and early diagnosis and treatment, this is both a project for the benefit of the people and a refinement and extension of the center’s function and service connotation.” Deng Xiaomin said that with the careful guidance of experts from Long March Hospital, the health education on cancer prevention and anti-cancer will be more frequent and targeted, which will eliminate fear and bring gospel to the community, especially to the residents who are poor due to diseases. The center will be rooted in the front line of the community, strengthen the classification management of target groups, provide professional and intimate services, explore the establishment of a long-term mechanism for cancer screening and early diagnosis and treatment, and promote the smooth implementation of the beneficiary project, which will ultimately benefit the majority of patients’ families.

In order to actively do a good job in cancer prevention and treatment and curb the rising momentum of cancer as soon as possible, on September 9, 2015, the National Health and Family Planning Commission released the Three-Year Action Plan for Cancer Prevention and Treatment in China (2015-2017), which it formulated jointly with 16 departments, and clarified the division of labor for the accessibility of anti-tumor drugs, which emphasized the promotion of cancer screening and early diagnosis and treatment strategies, improvement of cancer diagnosis and treatment, and promoting the development and production of antitumor drugs, as well as specifying relevant implementation strategies.
