In recent years, the disease burden of cervical cancer in China has been increasing, with women aged 45 and older bearing a particularly heavy burden. This population not only has the highest incidence and mortality rates but also represents the second peak age group for high-risk human papilloma virus (HR-HPV) infection, with the HR-HPV infection rate remaining consistently high. The causes of this situation are multifaceted. On one hand, the target group for HPV vaccination in China is women aged 9-45, which has resulted in very limited vaccination rates among middle-aged and older women when they were within the recommended age range. Additionally, this demographic has relatively low awareness of the HPV vaccine. On the other hand, aging-related declines in immune function and hormonal changes increase the risk of persistent HR-HPV infection in this group. The latent nature of HPV infection further complicates the early detection of the disease. At the same time, cervical cancer screening coverage among middle-aged and older women in China remains low and shows significant regional disparities, with screening rates in economically disadvantaged areas being markedly lower than those in more affluent regions. Furthermore, physiological changes associated with aging reduce the accuracy of conventional screening methods in this population, leading to insufficient early detection and intervention for cervical cancer. As a result, many patients are diagnosed at an advanced stage of the disease, significantly increasing treatment difficulty and disease burden. This article reviewed the burden of cervical cancer and HR-HPV infection among middle-aged and older women in China, the associated influencing factors, and the status of comprehensive prevention and control measures, aiming to provide a reference for improving cervical cancer prevention strategies for middle-aged and older women in China and contribute to the country's efforts to eliminate cervical cancer.</p>","PeriodicalId":39868,"journal":{"name":"中华肿瘤杂志","volume":"47 9","pages":"840-849"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145087629","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Pathologically, lung cancer is classified into non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and small cell lung cancer, with NSCLC accounting for approximately 85% of cases. Due to the often subtle or nonspecific clinical manifestations in early-stage disease, many patients are diagnosed at a locally advanced or metastatic stage, where treatment options are limited and prognosis remains poor. Therefore, molecular targeted therapy focusing on driver genes has become a key strategy to improve the survival outcomes of patients with advanced NSCLC. The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is one of the most common driver genes in NSCLC. While EGFR mutations occur in approximately 12% of advanced NSCLC patients globally, the incidence rises to 55.9% in Chinese patients. Among EGFR mutations, P-loop and αC-helix compressing (PACC) mutations account for about 12.5%. Currently, EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have become the first-line standard treatment for advanced NSCLC patients with classical EGFR mutations, with efficacy well-established through clinical studies and real-world evidence. However, with rapid advancements in NSCLC precision medicine and deeper exploration of the EGFR mutation spectrum, EGFR PACC mutations have emerged as a key clinical focus. The structural characteristics of these mutations lead to significant variability in responses to EGFR TKIs, leaving therapeutic options still limited, while detection challenges persist due to the sensitivity constraints of current testing technologies, driving increasing demand for improved diagnostic and treatment approaches. The current clinical evidence primarily stems from retrospective analyses and small-scale exploratory studies, while prospective, large-scale, high-level evidence-based medical research specifically targeting this mutation subtype remains notably insufficient. This evidence gap has consequently led to the absence of standardized guidelines or expert consensus regarding optimal treatment strategies for advanced NSCLC with EGFR PACC mutations. As a clinical consensus specifically addressing EGFR PACC-mutant NSCLC, this document provides a comprehensive framework encompassing the clinical rationale for EGFR PACC mutation testing, therapeutic strategies for advanced-stage disease, management of treatment-related adverse events, and follow-up protocols. The consensus underscores the pivotal role of EGFR PACC mutation detection in precision medicine implementation while offering evidence-based recommendations to guide personalized therapeutic decision-making. By establishing clear clinical pathways encompassing molecular testing, therapeutic intervention, and long-term monitoring for EGFR PACC-mutant NSCLC, this consensus aims to meaningfully improve patient survival outcomes while serving as a robust, ev","PeriodicalId":39868,"journal":{"name":"中华肿瘤杂志","volume":"47 ","pages":"811-829"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144972619","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This consensus resulted in several updates from the 2024 version. In the screening section, a new recommendation has been added to specify populations not advised to undergo lung cancer screening. It also emphasizes that individuals at high risk for lung cancer should be fully informed of the potential benefits and risks of low-dose CT (LDCT) screening before undergoing the examination. With the advancement of treatment options, updates have been made to the recommended genetic testing for patients with early- and mid-stage postoperative and advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). For patients with advanced epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations, in addition to a broader range of monotherapy options, the application of combination therapies may offer better disease control for certain patients. Furthermore, more treatment options have been approved for patients undergoing immunotherapy-based neoadjuvant treatment and for those who develop resistance to EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs).

Low-dose CT screening can increase the detection rate of early-stage lung cancer and reduce lung cancer mortality. This article compares and analyzes the latest Japanese and Chinese guidelines for low-dose CT lung cancer screening, exploring the commonalities and differences between the two countries in the construction of lung cancer screening systems and the detailed management of lung nodules. Both guidelines emphasize the importance of age and smoking in selecting screening candidates, but the specific criteria differ. The Japanese guideline targets heavy smokers aged 50-74 years, while its Chinese counterpart targets a broader high-risk population, including individuals with different ages, smoking histories, occupational exposures, and family genetic factors. In terms of equipment and radiation dose requirements, both guidelines consider individualization, but there are differences in specific values and methods. Regarding imaging and post-processing analysis, the Chinese guideline provides more detailed technical specifications, emphasizing the use of various post-processing techniques. In lung nodule management strategies, both guidelines adopt nodule classification, but there are differences in nodule size assessment criteria and follow-up intervention procedures, with the Chinese guideline placing greater emphasis on multidisciplinary team consultations. The Japanese guideline highlights easily overlooked imaging features of lung cancer and non-nodule manifestations, while the Chinese guideline emphasizes the integration of smoking cessation and lung cancer screening. Overall, the guidelines of the two countries share commonalities in many aspects of lung cancer screening but also have their own characteristics, and learning from each other can help improve lung cancer screening systems.</p>","PeriodicalId":39868,"journal":{"name":"中华肿瘤杂志","volume":"47 8","pages":"763-768"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-08-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144856625","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
