Since last year, lung cancer screening has also officially joined the cancer screening subsidized by the public. Now it is collectively called “five major cancer screenings”, including colorectal cancer, lung cancer, breast cancer, cervical cancer, and oral cancer. As long as they meet the conditions for subsidized screening, Such as age, smoking age, family medical history, etc., you can get cancer screening subsidies. The five major cancers are all cancers that Chinese people are prone to. The state subsidy is nothing more than hoping that Chinese people will be checked, detected and treated as soon as possible.
The following “Miaokang Family Medicine” sorts out the eligible cancer screening subsidies for everyone. I hope that those who meet the conditions will not let their rights fall asleep and use them as soon as possible.
Top 5 cancer screening grants eligible for a look
colorectal cancer
Using fecal occult blood immunization method, the subjects are 50-74 years old.
Fecal occult blood immunoassay:Check whether there is blood invisible to the naked eye on the surface of the stool. Because the tumor or polyp of colorectal cancer will bleed when it is rubbed by the stool, the blood will adhere to the surface of the stool and be discharged. Through the fecal occult blood test, cases of colorectal cancer or polyps can be detected early and passed through the large intestine. Microscopic examination for further diagnosis. At present, the fecal occult blood test uses quantitative immunoassay, which does not require dietary restrictions, and is quite simple and convenient.
※The fecal occult blood test is not 100% accurate. If there is any abnormality, you should still consult a specialist for examination.

lung cancer
Lung cancer uses low-dose lung computed tomography for:
- 50-74 years old, smoking up to 30 pack years and willing to quit smoking, or have quit smoking within 15 years. (It is very important to be willing to quit smoking, so that it is meaningful to prevent cancer and can be paid for by the public) “Package” means cumulative dose = one pack a day for several years or the same amount of cigarettes, and one pack a day for 30 years is called 30 packs Year.
- First-degree relatives have a family history of lung cancer: the family history of female first-degree relatives can extend down to the age of 45.
※Low-dose lung computed tomography: This is currently the only screening tool with international evidence that can detect lung cancer early. After the judgment of professional medical personnel, it can quickly and correctly identify patients with early lung cancer while avoiding overdiagnosis.
breast cancer
Mammography is used for breast cancer, and the target is for another five years, aged 45 to 69, and if there is a family history of second-degree relatives, it can be extended down to the age of 40.

Reminders for healing days
Among the five major cancer screenings, cervical cancer is the most special. Although the subsidy is once a year, it is recommended to do it once every three years; other public subsidies are once every two years. In “four stages and seven levels of preventive medicine”, cancer screening It is the role in the second paragraph and the third level. These cancer screenings all have evidence to support “the type of mortality that can be improved through early diagnosis and early treatment”, so people of the right age should make good use of them to protect their health.
