Early Detection and Early Treatment of Cancer Makes More People Well<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Kochi Prefecture has the fourth highest percentage of people dying from cancer in Japan, making early detection and early treatment an issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, many people are reluctant to undergo medical checkups alone.
Therefore, Kochi Prefecture has launched the \"Let's Go Together! Cancer Screening Campaign 2024,\" a campaign in which couples who undergo the screening in pairs will be entered into a drawing to win hotel accommodation tickets and other prizes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Campaign Outline<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Eligibility: Pairs of two persons aged 20 or older residing in Kochi Prefecture who underwent cancer screening between April 1, 2024 and December 31, 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eligible examinations: Stomach, lung, colon, breast, and cervical cancer<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prizes<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kochi Prefecture's Health Examination Rate: Current Status and Challenges<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The screening rate for people in their 40s and 50s in Kochi Prefecture is 40% to 60% for stomach, lung, and colon cancer, which is lower than the national average.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aim of the Campaign<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This campaign aims to reduce resistance to screening and increase the screening rate by pairing people up for screening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Call for action by Kochi Prefecture Health Measures Division<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, more than 90% of people with cancer can be cured if the disease is detected and treated at an early stage. The Kochi Prefectural Health Measures Section encourages people to get regular checkups by inviting someone close to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why don't you and your loved ones get checked together?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Early detection and early treatment are the most important factors for cancer. Let's take this cancer screening campaign as an opportunity to get screened together with your loved ones and maintain a healthy life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reference Information<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We hope that these campaigns will lead to early detection and early treatment to reduce the number of people dying from cancer.
I hope that not only the prefectural and municipal governments, but also the national government will make efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
