肿瘤基础研究对促进新时期癌症防治工作具有关键作用

Basic research holds the key for successful cancer prevention and treatment

癌症是全球范围内最主要的健康问题之一。研发癌症防治的新技术、新药物、新疗法,是中国人民和全人类共同的迫切需求,也是全球科技竞争的重点方向。肿瘤基础研究对癌症防治工作起着关键作用。指出了当前中国癌症领域“从0到1”研发诊断治疗新靶点、新药物的创新能力仍与世界一流水平有差距,面临的关键问题不是研究成果转化程度不高,而是基础研究的深度广度不足。建议为促进新时期癌症防治工作,应当高度重视肿瘤基础研究,通过稳定的经费支持、合理的项目设置、健全产学研合作机制、促进国际合作等措施支持高水平肿瘤基础研究的发展。

Cancer is an important public health concern threatening the well-being of Chinese residents.Through collaborative efforts among multi-levels of government,disease prevention and control centers,as well as medical institutions,China has achieved remarkable progress in cancer screening and early detection and treatment.This article summarizes the screening methods for common cancers in China,outlines the cancer screening progress of four major public health programs,and provides an overview of current challenges.With the implementation of screening programs,the early detection rate of cancer has continuously improved,and the quality of screening has gradually enhanced.However,there are still several deficiencies in China's cancer screening efforts,including increasing the participation rate of screening and enhancing the quality of grassroots-level screening.
