Zhong Nanshan: Tumor "early detection" is the key to health-centered instead of treatment-centered Chen Jimin
Guangzhou, April 22 (Reporter Cai Minjie) "The reason why tumors are frightening is not only because there are not many treatments, but also because they are found too late. Zhong Nanshan, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, said in Guangzhou on the 22nd that the "early detection" of tumors is the key to replacing treatment with health as the center.
The Cancer Medical Center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University was established in Guangzhou on the same day. The medical center has set up a total of 17 sub-centers, and Zhong Nanshan serves as an honorary consultant. Huang Jinkun, president of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University, and He Jianxing, president of the Guangzhou Institute of Respiratory Health, served as the directors of the center.
Zhong Nanshan said that more than 50 years ago, many of the tumor patients he saw were advanced. If patients can detect the tumor early before symptoms develop, the treatment effect varies greatly.

Zhong Nanshan believes that with regard to tumor prevention and treatment, early detection and early diagnosis and treatment are the last word, and it is urgent to improve the prevention and treatment capacity of tumors. "Early discovery, now we've tasted a lot of sweetness." Zhong Nanshan took lung cancer as an example and said that the survival rate of late detection is very low, but if early detection can be achieved, many patients have a 5-year survival rate of more than 85% after surgery and other treatment.
Zhong Nanshan said that the early detection of tumors is difficult and often requires multidisciplinary consultation. "We are confident that we can do a good job in the early detection and treatment of tumors, whether it is in the middle or late stages, we also have a lot of treatment options." Zhong Nanshan said that after the establishment of the cancer medical center, it can better coordinate the medical forces of various departments and use comprehensive methods to discover and treat tumor patients.
He Jianxing said that for large-scale lung cancer screening, hospitals apply advanced technologies such as AI diagnosis, free DNA extraction and methylation conversion, and the diagnostic accuracy can currently reach 92%. In terms of treatment, through minimally invasive surgery, patients with early lung cancer can now be discharged from the hospital 24 hours after surgery. In addition, he also said that the early screening of tumors will not only help to treat tumor diseases in a timely manner, but also increase the public's attention to personal health.
Huang Jinkun said that in the next step, the medical center will integrate scientific research forces and explore and solve key problems in the field of tumor prevention and treatment. In addition, the health management of tumor patients and the popularization of cancer science education will be strengthened, so that the concept of "early prevention", "early screening", "early diagnosis" and "early treatment" will be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
