In the global medical governance pattern, the China Anti-Cancer Association writes the Chinese answer sheet in the field of tumor prevention and treatment with innovative practices.

A relevant person in charge of the China Anti-Cancer Association (CACA) said that the China Anti-Cancer Association takes "integrated medicine" as the ice-breaking pad, uses "tumour prevention and treatment, win in integration" as the navigation sail, breaks the barriers of a single discipline and the limitations of technology-based, and reconstructs the collaboration paradigm of the entire chain of "prevention-screening-diagnosis-treatment-rehabilitation". Guide the entire field to move from "fragmented diagnosis and treatment" to "integrated prevention and treatment".

Establish "Chinese Standards" and build a communication matrix

According to a relevant person in charge of the China Anti-Cancer Association (CACA), my country's tumor prevention and treatment field has been dominated by foreign guidelines for a long time, and local data has lacked the right to speak on the international stage. Faced with this severe challenge, the China Anti-Cancer Association organized 13,000 authoritative experts and 331 academicians to prepare the "Guidelines for Integrated Diagnosis and Treatment of Cancer in China" (CACA Guidelines). It covers 53 cancer species and 60 technologies, with a total of 30 million words in Chinese and English and test bank. It also innovatively integrates traditional Chinese medicine, minimally invasive treatment plans with distinct Chinese characteristics, and establishes an independent knowledge system for my country's tumor prevention and treatment.

Based on the compilation of CACA guidelines, we extend the top ten derivative systems, including co-organized books, pocket books, multilingual versions, question banks, mind maps, interpretation monographs, clinical cases, core knowledge, popular science education version, and application tools.

The China Anti-Cancer Association has built a scientific and efficient guide promotion system with "5 databases, 6 co-construction units, and 12 promotion modules". Let the CACA guide enter university campuses, help tertiary hospitals revise diagnosis and treatment paths, and promote grassroots hospitals to update their knowledge system.

The "Healthy China Action-Implementation Plan for Cancer Prevention and Control Action (2023-2030)" proposes that by 2030, the awareness rate of core knowledge on cancer prevention and control will reach more than 80%. Tumor prevention and treatment, popular science is the first step. The traditional popular science model is one-way publicity of expert lectures + brochures, which has the disadvantage of insufficient coverage.

Over the years, the China Anti-Cancer Association has carried out innovative practices. A hundred intensive reading tours were held, led by academicians and toured by 31 provinces, with a single live viewing of over 10 million; an eight-in-one linkage of "team-activity-base-guide-works-training-award-media" was achieved; "CACA AI" was developed, and prevention and control questions were answered 24 hours a day, and an AI science popularization matrix was created. It has ranked first in the China Association for Science and Technology popularization new media communication list many times.

By systematically building an international communication system for the CACA guideline, the guideline has achieved full coverage of 16 languages, forming a demonstration effect in 156 countries and regions, and has been formally incorporated into the global traditional medicine strategic framework by the World Health Organization, marking that China's tumor prevention and treatment plan has gained international authoritative recognition.

From Sino-foreign medical dialogue to health cooperation, 16 high-standard international academic summit series forums have attracted 260 million people from all over the world to participate in the cloud, building a "Air Silk Road" for the exchange of experience in tumor prevention and treatment in the East and the West. On the one hand, the global promotion of CACA guidelines promotes the domestic scientific research system to benchmark against top international standards; on the other hand, the "Chinese wisdom" of integrating medicine continues to be exported through multiple platforms.

Integrated diagnosis and treatment to improve overall treatment effect

Tumor treatment is not a simple "killing enemy competition", but a game full of wisdom. In 2025, the China Anti-Cancer Association will organize a monthly "various treatment seminars under the unified tumor integration treatment". Taking the drug treatment under the integrated tumor treatment as the entry point, we will deeply explore the key points and not fall into the narrow perspective of "drugs from medicine, use medicine to medicine, and use medicine to medicine for medicine". To improve the effectiveness of tumor treatment, we need to rely on a coordinated integrated diagnosis and treatment model such as surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy.

Through the precise positioning and in-depth analysis of drug treatment in the integrated treatment system, clinicians can provide more scientific and systematic treatment ideas, help improve the overall treatment level of tumors, and allow patients to truly benefit from high-quality medical services under the integrated treatment concept.

In 2025, the China Anti-Cancer Association has created another discipline brand, "CACA Frontier Broadcast", which has been successfully broadcast for 6 episodes. The brand adopts the innovative model of "talking by yourself, reviewing by experts, and watching by everyone", focusing on displaying the original research results published by China in high-level international magazines.

With the continuous growth of the number of papers published in high-level international journals in my country, the platform is committed to widely promoting these cutting-edge achievements in China, changing the situation of poor dissemination of small press conferences in the past; in the face of the current situation of complex online information, misleading and misleading content, the platform has effectively purified the information environment by strictly screening high-quality content. As Chairman Fan Daiming of the China Anti-Cancer Association said, "'CACA Frontier Broadcast' is not only a display window for the innovative achievements of the Chinese oncology community, but also an output platform for the global anti-cancer cause "Chinese wisdom".

Fan Daiming proposed a transformation from "multi-discipline diagnosis and treatment (MTD)" to "holistic integrated medicine (HIM)". The traditional MTD model has many disadvantages: the barriers between disciplines are strict, and doctors of various specialists are prone to fall into the fragmented decision-making misunderstanding of "headache and doctor" when consulting; the disease-centered diagnosis and treatment model ignores the psychological, social, economic needs of patients as a complete individual; the consultation process is cumbersome and the cycle is long, and opinions between different disciplines are difficult to unify, resulting in inefficient diagnosis and treatment.

The HIM concept takes the "Four Health Sciences" as the core essence. In the spatial dimension, it integrates Western medicine, traditional Chinese medicine, nutrition, psychology and other treatment methods to provide patients with all-round and personalized medical services; in the human dimension, patients are regarded as an organic whole of body, mind, society and spirit, rather than a simple organ collection, focusing on the overall health and quality of life of patients; in the time dimension, it runs through the entire life cycle management of "anti-screen diagnosis and treatment", realizing the full prevention and control of diseases and the continuous maintenance of health; in the world dimension, it coordinates medical resources with family and social support systems, creates a good rehabilitation environment for patients, and promotes the comprehensive rehabilitation of patients.

The China Anti-Cancer Association has planned and carried out the "CACA into Enterprises" activity, aiming to achieve the "win-win" development between the association and enterprises. Up to now, the event has successfully entered Hengrui Medicine, Shenguan Group and other companies. During the event, Fan Daiming and the expert group went deep into the company and had in-depth discussions with relevant persons in charge of the company. The expert team tailored technical solutions for enterprises to effectively overcome technical difficulties in response to the technical difficulties faced by enterprises in the process of development.

The China Anti-Cancer Association stated that it will continue to deepen cooperation with enterprises in the future, and continue to make efforts in many key areas such as academic exchanges, service to enterprise innovation, talent training, and academic organization construction, to provide all-round and multi-level support and guarantees for enterprise development, and to promote the cooperation between the two sides to a new level.
