• 1 Methods: There were a total of 487 registries which reported high quality data of cancer incidence and mortality across China in 2016.
• 2 The nationwide numbers of new cancer cases and deaths were estimated using the pooled cancer registry data, which were stratified by area (urban/rural), sex, age group (0, 1-4, 5-9, 10-14…85+) and cancer site for incidence and mortality, and then multiplied by corresponding national population.
• 3 The world Segi's population was applied for the calculation of age-standardized rates.

Understanding this could lead to better treatments, improved diagnostics, or a deeper grasp of how the human body works — benefiting patient care globally.
