| This study systematically reviews the evolution of cancer prevention and control(CPC) policies in China, summarizes the development experience of CPC in Nantong City as a case study, and analyzes both the common national challenges and local-specific dilemmas across the full--lifecycle CPC. The findings indicate that although China has initially established a full-lifecycle framework covering CPC, structural barriers persist, including inactive prevention functions, fragmented linkages among screening, diagnosis, and treatment, insufficient primary-level service capacity, and a divided financing system. To address these issues, this study proposes coordinated efforts from four dimensions: collaborative network building, workforce capacity development, financing and incentive mechanisms, and dynamic service delivery tools. These recommendations aim to promote the transformation of the CPC system from a traditional disease-centered, fragmented intervention model toward a resident-centered, full-lifecycle health management paradigm. |
