Research Summary

Dr. Zheng established the model of mass health screening for colorectal cancer in China, which has been proved to be effecitve among large population. According to the population-based cancer registry in Haining county, age-adjusted incidence and mortality from rectal cancer decreased by 41% and 29%, respectively, from 1977-1981 to 1992-1996. Observed cumulative 20-year rectal cancer incidence was 31% lower than expected in the screened group; mortality due to rectal cancer was 18% lower than expected in the screened group. It was be proved that mass screening and following with endoscopy and polypectomy can reduce incidence and mortality of rectal cancer among general population in China.
