Screening for stomach and colon cancer
Cancer continues to be a global concern. According to GLOBOCAN 2020 statistics, the incidence and mortality rates of cancer worldwide are on an upward trend. In Vietnam, it is estimated that there were 182,563 new cases and 122,690 cancer deaths. For every 100,000 people, 159 were diagnosed with new cancer cases and 106 died from cancer. In 2020, Vietnam ranked 91st out of 185 countries in terms of new incidence rate and 50th out of 185 in terms of mortality rate per 100,000 people. The corresponding rankings in 2018 were 99th/185 and 56th/185. Thus, it can be seen that the incidence and mortality rates of cancer in Vietnam are increasing rapidly.
Cancer has been, is, and will continue to be the biggest health obsession for Vietnamese people due to environmental pollution, contaminated food, and increasingly prevalent unscientific lifestyles, excessive consumption of beer, alcohol, and tobacco. Statistics show that gastrointestinal cancers (colon cancer, stomach cancer, intestinal cancer, liver cancer, bile duct-pancreatic cancer, etc.) are among the most common types of cancer and are one of the top four leading causes of cancer deaths.
Early screening and detection of gastrointestinal cancer plays a crucial role in cancer treatment. When detected at an early stage, treatment is more effective and cost-efficient. Conversely, if detected at a late stage, treatment becomes much more difficult and incurs a significant economic burden.
