Because the current cancer screening is more expensive, if we can join the medical insurance, more residents can have cancer screening, which can also better protect residents. According to media reports, some representatives suggested that cancer screening should be included in medical insurance, because many cancer patients have deteriorated because they missed the best time in the late stage. Professionals point out that tumor is a very special disease. Many times, patients only have one chance to be treated. Once the best opportunity is missed, it will be very dangerous for patients.

On the other hand, early detection and early treatment can effectively relieve patients' pain and economic burden of treatment. The representative pointed out that cervical cancer screening has been started in some rural areas, so the conditions for tumor screening to enter medical insurance are now ripe. Especially in rural areas, some farmers have poor awareness of physical examination and are unfamiliar with tumor screening. If medical insurance can provide corresponding services, it can better protect residents in rural areas.

In fact, in recent years, more and more cancer drugs have entered the medical insurance, and the expenditure on cancer drugs also occupies a lot of funds in the medical insurance. If patients can be screened early, treated early and recovered early, the payment pressure on the medical insurance fund will also be relieved.

According to the Latest Global Cancer Burden Data in 22 released by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) of the World Health Organization on December 15th, 22, there were 4.57 million new cancer cases and 3 million deaths in China in 22, ranking first in the world.

Interface news noted that during the Third Session of the 13th National People's Congress in 22, Yang Weikun, deputy of the National People's Congress and chairman of Baoding Municipal Committee of Hebei Province of the Agricultural Workers' Party, also put forward the proposal of "further strengthening early cancer screening and improving the quality of people's health examination".

Yang Weikun mentioned in this proposal that the main reason for the high cancer mortality rate in China is that there is no early detection and early treatment in the incubation period. When obvious symptoms appear, they often enter the middle and late stage, which is difficult to save. In the proposal, Yang Weikun proposed that cancer screening should be included in the scope of national health examination, and the financial policy guarantee for health examination should be improved.
