主　　题：Cancer prevention preparing 

摘      要：As socioeconomic development is closely associated with changes in various risk factors for cancer,a timely and worldwide depiction of temporal and geographic cancer burden can provide insights on the effective prevention and treatment of this disease.Recently,the International Agency for Research on Cancer issued an update regarding the status of the global cancer burden for 36 forms of cancer in 185 countries(Sung et al.,2021).The report revealed that the worldwide cancer burden had increased rapidly between 2018 and 2020.Notably,female-specific breast cancer has replaced lung cancer as the most commonly diagnosed form,and its incidence rate is increasing rapidly,especially in Asia.Against this background,the study will review and compare global cancer statistics between 2018 and 2020(Sung et al.,2021;Bray et al.,2018),Cancer Country Profiles China 2020(World Health Organization(WHO),2020)。
