Description
Wenjie Liang and co-authors chart how colorectal cancer care changed in Guangxi, China, over a decade. Rates of the disease and its care needs have climbed across China, with wide gaps between regions. The team reviews records from a specialist cancer hospital for patients first treated there.
Their 2026 survey covers more than a thousand patients diagnosed across the study years. The typical age at diagnosis sat in the late fifties, and men outnumbered women. The share of patients who were overweight or obese rose steeply over the decade, and tobacco use rose as well. The paper tracks these shifts in patient traits and in how diagnosis and treatment services were used.
