The Significance of Early Colorectal Cancer Screening:

Multidimensional Value from Personal Health to Public Welfare

Colorectal cancer ranks as the third most common malignancy worldwide and is among the fastest-growing cancers in terms of incidence and mortality in China.

The cornerstone of colorectal cancer prevention and control lies in early detection, early diagnosis, and early treatment—through fecal DNA testing, regular endoscopic exams, eradication of Helicobacter pylori (HP), and healthy dietary habits.

Medical Value: Saving Lives and Increasing Cure Rates

Early Intervention to Halt Cancer Progression.
Colorectal cancer progresses in stages—from precancerous lesions (e.g., adenomas or polyps) to invasive cancer over 5 to 15 years. Screening methods such as fecal immunochemical testing (FIT), multi-target stool DNA methylation testing, and colonoscopy enable the detection of abnormalities before cancer develops. Timely removal of adenomas greatly reduces cancer risk, achieving true “preventive treatment.”


Improving Survival Rates and Quality of Life

The 5-year survival rate for early-stage colorectal cancer (Stage I) can exceed 90%, while for advanced-stage (Stage IV), it is less than 10%. Early screening not only reduces mortality but also minimizes surgical trauma and the toxic side effects of chemotherapy and radiotherapy. For example, minimally invasive techniques such as endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) can preserve organ function, promote faster postoperative recovery, and significantly improve patients’ quality of life compared to traditional open surgery.


Technological Innovation: Advancing Precision Medicine and Personalized Prevention

1. Breakthroughs in Molecular Diagnostic Technology.

2. Multidisciplinary Collaboration
Radiomics technology enables quantitative assessment of tumor dynamics to optimize treatment plans. The multidisciplinary team (MDT) approach integrates resources to improve cure rates in complex cases.


Building a Nationwide Health Defense

1. The “Healthy China 2030” initiative explicitly includes cancer early screening in the public health system. Several regions pilot colorectal cancer screening under medical insurance, enabling early diagnosis and cure through free screening programs.
2. Health Education and Public Awareness Enhancement
Colonoscopy: Through science popularization and community-based colorectal cancer screening, a full-cycle management system of “screening-diagnosis-treatment-rehabilitation” is established.
3.Regular gastrointestinal endoscopy and active treatment of Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection with eradication therapy.
