The latest statistics show that there are more than 4.29 million new cancer cases and more than 3 million deaths in China every year, and the medical expenses caused by malignant tumors exceed 220 billion yuan every year.
On April 2, 2022, the Department of planning, development and information technology of the National Health Commission issued the notice of the office of the Promotion Committee of healthy China action on printing and distributing the key points of healthy China action in 2022. “Cancer screening” has become the key work direction in 2022.
The theme of this year’s national cancer prevention and control publicity week is “cancer prevention and control, early action”, which aims to actively advocate everyone to be the first person responsible for their own health, correctly understand cancer, actively prevent and control cancer, and establish the concept of three-level cancer prevention.
cancer prevention and treatment, the decision-making power of medical laboratory
A set of comparative data shows that the popularity of early cancer screening in the United States is high, with a screening rate of about 70%, while the early cancer screening rate in China is about 20%. Public health awareness needs to be improved. The prevalence rate of early screening reflects the cancer survival rate to some extent. The five-year survival rate of cancer in the United States is 67%. At present, the overall five-year survival rate of cancer in China is low, only 41%.
The healthy China 2030 development plan proposes that the five-year survival rate of cancer in China will not be less than 46.6% in 2030. This indicator has a long way to go for both the whole medical system and the Chinese people.
The prevalence of early screening for cancer prevention reflects the health awareness and medical conditions of the public in an area. The awareness of health management of early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment is the key to cancer prevention and treatment. Based on the current high-quality medical technology and strength, especially with the improvement and wide application of high-end imaging examination and medical examination technology, the demand of mass anti-cancer early screening has been basically met.
In the field of precision imaging examination, in recent years, with the rapid development of nuclear medicine, through PET / CT, PET / MR and other high-end nuclear medicine imaging diagnosis equipment, it has been able to achieve more accurate and detailed imaging and data acquisition for major diseases such as tumors.
Affected by the covid-19 epidemic situation, the word “nucleic acid detection” frequently appears in the public view, and medical testing faces unprecedented opportunities and challenges. In terms of early screening for cancer, another term in the field of medical testing “gene testing” has also become a hot spot. The mechanism of tumor occurrence and development is extremely complex and heterogeneous. The combined detection based on multi-dimensional data of multiple methods and indicators is very important for early tumor screening.
In order to prevent the occurrence of diseases, many people will have some routine physical examination every year, but the routine physical examination has certain limitations for finding small lesions. Professor Zeng Qiang of the Institute of health management of the second medical center of the PLA general hospital once said that the real health management is a closed loop composed of “physical examination evaluation intervention”, and laboratory medicine is a very important decision-making force in the closed loop. Taking gene testing as an example, through the detection of individual genome, doctors can understand the patient’s genome data and the risk assessment of disease susceptibility, so as to make a more targeted health management plan.
“detection + inspection” integration to create a closed loop of precision inspection in the whole process
Through medical testing, help the examinee find their susceptibility genes, so as to guide themselves to do targeted and non blind precision physical examination. In a seemingly simple sentence, it summarizes the relationship between medical examination and precision physical examination. For medical institutions, this involves the construction of a full link closed-loop health management model, and third-party medical institutions in the industry already have practitioners.
As the first third-party medical institution to put forward the “Trinity” business of image diagnosis, medical examination and precision examination, Ping An Health (testing) center has shown its ambition in its layout and exploration in recent years. Especially in terms of early screening for cancer prevention and treatment, an average store invested nearly 100 million yuan to build its own “fully automatic assembly line” testing laboratory with regional uniqueness to provide customers with a whole disease cycle management service model centered on disease and centered on screening, diagnosis, monitoring, prognosis and follow-up.
This year, Ping An Health (testing) center has played a “combined fist” with the high integration of “testing” and “testing”. 11 self operated flagship testing centers nationwide, focusing on high-end precision inspection and image diagnosis; In the field of medical testing, it is fully undertaken by its own 8 safe and good medical testing laboratories, and cooperates with the SRL company of Xi’An International Medical Investment Company Limited(000516) testing service provider h.u. group in Japan to introduce advanced precision technology and internalize the quality management system of Japanese standards. From the perspective of the mode of “integration of testing and inspection”, the playing method of Ping’an health (testing) center has become more and more clear. On the basis of the chairman level experts and scientific research level imaging equipment, it has strengthened the general inspection and special inspection, opened up more business scenarios through the products of home self inspection, and provided users with a comprehensive medical service format integrating offline and online.
In the past cancer prevention and treatment week, Ping An Health (testing) Center launched a three-step customized physical examination service of “keeping away from cancer and early screening first”. For comprehensive cancer prevention, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, women’s two cancers, lung cancer and other diseases, the cancer prevention package is launched, combined with 24 tumor gene testing projects for men and 27 tumor gene testing projects for women to assess the genetic risk of common tumors, and take the first step of cancer prevention with “comprehensive tumor screening”. After the screening, the chief imaging doctor of Ping An Health (testing) center will read the film professionally and give targeted diagnostic opinions according to the results. After the “diagnosis”, we need to get “treatment”, which can be completed in three steps. The expert clinic listed in the latest Fudan edition of the “ranking list of Chinese hospitals” will provide famous doctors with health services for patients with positive indicators.
According to the relevant person in charge of Ping An Health (testing) center, the customized service of tumor prevention and treatment week is an epitome of its business model. As a member of Ping An Group’s large medical ecosystem, Ping An Health (testing) center takes providing high-quality medical services as the cut-off point, integrates Ping An Group’s medical ecosystem resources through differentiated screening and diagnosis services, constructs a “screening diagnosis treatment” service closed loop for consumers, and improves the overall health level in the service area.
cancer prevention gateway moves forward, home screening mode attracts attention
In the post epidemic era, the concept of health management has been improved, and screening and testing have been paid attention to. Worldwide, the incidence rate of cancer is rising, and all countries are facing the problem of insufficient medical and health expenditure. If cancer diagnosis and treatment wants to move forward, it is of great significance to carry out early cancer screening in the physical examination population.
With the introduction and implementation of graded diagnosis and treatment policy and family doctor model, more and more chronic disease management and drug monitoring projects will be carried out at home. After this “epidemic”, people’s health awareness will be improved, and more residents will begin to configure home health products and home self inspection products, especially chronic diseases and tumor monitoring.
Industry insiders believe that early screening products and health management services applied to family scenes will be an important direction of medical development in the future. With the increasing demand for individualized medical treatment, precision medical treatment and public health prevention and control, the third-party medical testing will also develop in the direction of standardization and informatization. The innovative home early screening model can play a greater role in health management in the future, and home early screening will also become the trend of tumor early screening.
Ping An Health (testing) center hopes to provide consumers with high-end and precise in store health management services. At the same time, it also adheres to the home self inspection concept of “good medical treatment does not need to travel far”. Its medical laboratory provides a variety of home self inspection products covering women’s “two cancers”, liver cancer, gastric cancer, rectal cancer and other types of cancer, so that consumers can complete the first step of early screening of cancer prevention at home. For customers with positive indicators, the offline stores of Ping An Health (testing) center will provide targeted precision examination, health management and national referral services.
Early screening for cancer is an opportunity for medical progress to change the outcome for each of us. Early screening and early diagnosis have also become an inevitable trend. The third-party medical institutions represented by Ping An Health (testing) center can provide imaging screening, tumor marker screening and endoscopic screening solutions for high-risk cancer species. Through the efficient integration of detection and testing, and focusing on the disease, the third-party medical institutions can provide consumers with a full disease cycle management service model with screening, diagnosis, monitoring, prognosis and follow-up as the core, which also complements the short board of public health early screening for cancer prevention in a certain sense, Continue to feed back and accelerate the development of third-party medical testing.
