Haining City and Jiashan County in Zhejiang Province are the first areas to carry out colorectal cancer screening in China, which started in the early 1970s and has been going on for more than 40 years. Meanwhile, Haining and Jiashan have also become the first batch of National Demonstration Bases for Early Diagnosis and Treatment of Colorectal Cancer. In the past 40 years, owing to Professor Zheng Shu who is brave and innovative, with an indomitable spirit, as well as the unremitting efforts and active exploration of all the team members, colorectal cancer screening which was unknown by the public and implemented with difficulties, has gradually been widely accepted and benefited the population. Today, remarkable achievements have been fulfilled in the colorectal cancer screening of Haining and Jiashan which has become the pioneer power in promoting the progress of colorectal cancer prevention and control in China and has certain influence both on China and the world. Meanwhile, a set of colorectal cancer screening strategies suitable for China has been explored and further promoted to be used nationwide, which is of great significance to the prevention and control of colorectal cancer in China. Looking forward to the future, the prevention and control of colorectal cancer in China is still difficult. We will continue to give full play to our existing advantages, not forget our original intention, move forward, explore innovation, and create greater glories!
浙江海宁市和嘉善县是我国最早开展结直肠癌筛查的地区，始于20世纪70年代初，至今已持续40余年。由此，海宁和嘉善也成为我国最早一批的"全国结直肠癌早诊早治示范基地"。40年间，得益于郑树教授敢为人先、开拓创新的奋斗精神以及全体团队成员的不懈努力和积极探索，结直肠癌筛查工作从不被理解、困难重重，到广泛接受、造福大众。如今，海宁和嘉善的结直肠癌筛查工作取得了明显成效，成为推动我国结直肠癌防控事业进步的先锋力量，在国内外均具有一定影响力。同时，郑树教授及其团队探索出一套适合我国国情的结直肠癌筛查技术方案，并推广至全国范围使用，对我国的结直肠癌防控工作具有重要意义。展望未来，我国的结直肠癌防控之路依旧艰辛，我们将继续发挥现有的优势，不忘初心，砥砺前行，开拓创新，再创辉煌！.
