The China Anti-Cancer Association initiated the 31st National Cancer Prevention and Control Awareness Week (April 15 to 21, 2025) to promote healthy lifestyles and early screening to the public. The Oncology Nursing Committee of the Chinese Nursing Association and China Anti-Cancer Association Integrated Nursing Committee actively responded to the call and launched "Evidence-Based Healthy Living for Cancer Prevention" campaigns.
Coordinated by the Oncology Nursing Committee, the campaign involved more than 15,000 nurses from 91 institutions across 27 provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities. A total of 704 face-to-face and online activities were organized successfully, including public lectures/educational seminars and health consultations. The campaign outreached 66 million people, including patients with cancer and their family members, as well as the general public.
During this campaign, oncology nurses actively participated in evidence-based educational seminars and heath consultation sessions to enhance the public’s awareness of cancer prevention and control. Their efforts demonstrated the value of nursing in reducing the burden of cancer in the nation and achieving the goals of cancerprevention and control under the Healthy China initiative.
