Colorectal cancer has risen to the second highest incidence of cancer in China, with new cases growing the fastest among high-incidence cancers in China.

How to prevent it effectively? The World Health Organization has long given a clear answer: regular screening.

So, what kind of screening can really play the role of early diagnosis and early treatment? Do you do a colonoscopy every year?

"The efficiency and compliance of screening methods is key to reducing bowel cancer incidence and mortality, and it is recommended to choose the screening technique recommended by the national clinical guidelines to minimize missed tests." On December 15, Professor Wang Guiqi, chairman of the Expert Committee for Early Diagnosis and Early Treatment of Cancer of the Disease Prevention and Control Bureau of the National Health Commission and director of the Department of Endoscopy of the Cancer Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, pointed out at the 2021 China Family Health Conference.

"Colorectal cancer is a 'lazy cancer' with a development period of up to 5-8 years, which is completely preventable and treatable. When high-risk people are 'asymptomatic', they should take the initiative to do screening, and do not wait until they have symptoms to find a doctor. ”

At the conference, the "2021 Edition of the Health Report of One Million Urban Population in Beijing - Special Report on Precision Medicine Colorectal Cancer" released by Nuohui Health and iKang Guobin has attracted much attention. According to the report, the positive rate of Chang Weiqing, a bowel cancer early screening product, has been on the rise for three consecutive years in The positive rate of the Beijing iKang physical examination population has shown an upward trend, and 75.95% of the positive users are high-risk people aged 40 and above, of which the overall positive rate of men is 9.71% and the overall positive rate of women is 8.38%.

At the same time, the use of Chang Weiqing significantly improved the compliance rate of positive subjects to complete colonoscopy. Among the positive subjects in Beijing, the compliance with the completion of colonoscopy increased from 29.38% in 2020 to 48.06%, while the colonoscopy compliance rate in 8 provinces and cities in beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Suluchuan, Sichuan and Zhejiang increased to 48.85%.

In addition, the proportion of colonoscopic precancerous lesions detected abnormally has also increased to 77.31% year by year.

The continuous rise in the abnormal rate of these intestinal screenings also warns of the serious impact of bad habits of modern life and work on the body. Experts agree that it is crucial to introduce gut screening into annual physical checkups.
