Trends in cancer incidence and mortality in the process of metropolitanization of Shanghai, 1973–2017 by Jiejie Qin, Jiejie Qin, Jiejie Qin, Jiejie Qin, Mengyin Wu, Shulin Zhao, Shulin Zhao, Shulin Zhao, Kai Gu, Renzhi Cai, Ziwei Tang, Defeng Zhu, Jingyan Tian, Jingyan Tian, Wei Yao, Baiyong Shen, Baiyong Shen, Baiyong Shen, Yan Shi

“…The most common cancer sites diagnosed were lung, colorectal, female breast, and male prostate in Shanghai in 2017, similar to the pattern in high-income countries. Stricter air control strategies, lower divorce rates, healthier lifestyles, and more effective HPV vaccination campaigns may be useful actionable measures of cancer prevention.ConclusionsThe longitudinal cancer data from the real world, which span decades, reported here and Shanghai’s experience in cancer prevention and control can be a reference for government guidelines in preventing population-level cancer incidence during city development.…”
