ABSTRACT

Malignant tumor has become an important public health problem affecting the health of Chinese residents as well as residents all over the world. With the improvement of tumor prevention and treatment, the growth of mortality rate of malignant tumors has slowed down gradually, but the incidence rate is still increasing rapidly, and malignant tumors still impose heavy disease and economic burden. Cancer screening and early cancer diagnosis and treatment are important ways to reduce the burden of cancer-related diseases. At present, a variety of early cancer diagnosis and treatment projects have been implemented in China. With the expansion of the coverage of these projects, the problems related to project implementation, operation and management have emerged gradually. In combination with the analysis of major problems in cancer prevention and control projects, this paper probes into how to apply information technologies such as biological information mining, artificial intelligence and electronic information collection technology to various stages of tumor prevention and control, realize integrated management of prevention and control processes, e.g. mobilization and preliminary identification, high risk assessment, clinical screening, clinical diagnosis and treatment, tracking, follow-up visits, and biological sample management of high-risk groups, and promote the efficient implementation of cancer prevention and control work in China.
