Core Tip

Core Tip: Cancer poses a significant threat to the health and lives of the Chinese population. Therefore, enhancing public awareness of cancer health is of paramount importance. Prior to this study, there has been no investigation of the status of cancer health education in China. Through the distribution of random questionnaires across 31 provinces in China, 1020 healthcare professionals and 1691 patients with cancer, their family members, and the general public participated. Most participants expressed a strong willingness to participate in cancer health education. Therefore, improvement in the quality of cancer health education is required.
