Cancer is an important public health concern threatening the well-being of Chinese residents. Through collaborative efforts among multi-levels of government, disease prevention and control centers, as well as medical institutions, China has achieved remarkable progress in cancer screening and early detection and treatment. This article summarizes the screening methods for common cancers in China, outlines the cancer screening progress of four major public health programs, and provides an overview of current challenges. With the implementation of screening programs, the early detection rate of cancer has continuously improved, and the quality of screening has gradually enhanced. However, there are still several deficiencies in China's cancer screening efforts, including increasing the participation rate of screening and enhancing the quality of grassroots-level screening.
