Comparison of Life-Time Death Probability due to Malignant Tumors in Different Regions of China Based on Chinese Surveillance Sites.

CONCLUSIONS: Malignant tumors<br />were still the main cause of death in one's life time, giving rise to LDP. LDP caused by malignant tumours has two<br />divisions. First, traditional upper digestive system cancers related to long-term chronic infection, such as esophageal<br />cancer, gastric cancer, and liver cancer, which has shown a significant downward trend. Second, lung and colorectal<br />cancers related to the environmental factors and lifestyle, which are on the rise. PMID: 31350960 [PubMed - in process]
