A regional health education and service platform for cancer prevention and control has been unveiled at Shanghai International Medical Center.
It will establish a family doctor service model for cancer management, health officials announced on Wednesday, during National Cancer Prevention and Control Promotion Week.
“Family plays a key role in cancer prevention, control and treatment,” said the center’s Dr Ding Gang.
“The five-year survival rate in China is only 40.6 percent. Difficulty in receiving good treatment from the right doctors and regular follow-up checks, poor access to health care for relapse prevention and control and rehabilitation service are the causes for poor treatment effects and patients’ poor life quality,” Ding said.
