South Korea's Precision Cancer Screening: In-Depth Analysis and Solutions
Ⅰ. The Cornerstone of Korean Cancer Success: The 'Ultra-Precision Screening' System
1. Integrated Utilization of Advanced Imaging Diagnostics
Major Korean hospitals integrate the following equipment for precision cancer screening:
-
Positron Emission Tomography–Computed Tomography (): Essential for assessing the metabolic activity of the whole body, functionally detecting micrometastases or residual cancer that may be difficult to find with conventional Computer Tomography or Magnetic Resonance Imaging.
-
High-Resolution Magnetic Resonance Imaging (): Provides high-resolution images to precisely analyze structural lesions in specific organs (brain, liver, breast) and excels in soft tissue diagnosis.
-
High-Resolution Endoscopy: Utilizes Narrow Band Imaging () technology to observe the gastric and colon mucosa and microvasculature in high resolution, maximizing the accuracy in identifying early mucosal cancer or pre-cancerous polyps.
2. Adoption of Genomic Analysis and Liquid Biopsy
-
Customized Genetic Testing: Individuals with specific gene mutations like BRCA1/2 undergo genetic analysis to predict the risk of specific cancers, designing screening cycles and methods that differ from the general population.
-
Liquid Biopsy: This method analyzes circulating tumor DNA in the blood, serving as a non-invasive, next-generation screening technique to monitor the presence of cancer, residual disease, and recurrence.

Ⅲ. 10 Wise Cancer Prevention Habits in Daily Life
The most successful cancer treatment is prevention. Consistently practicing these 10 habits significantly lowers cancer risk:
-
Quit Smoking: The primary cause of all cancer deaths; quit immediately.
-
Regular Exercise: Engage in moderate-intensity exercise (enough to sweat) for 30+ minutes, 5 days a week to boost immunity and manage obesity.
-
Maintain a Healthy Weight: Keep Body Mass Index () within the normal range to minimize obesity-related cancer risks.
-
Sufficient Fruits and Vegetables: Ensure intake of ample antioxidants and dietary fiber.
-
Eat Less Salt: Consume fresh, low-sodium foods to lower the risk of gastric cancer.
-
Moderate Alcohol Consumption: Limit to 2 drinks/day for men and 1 drink/day for women, as excessive alcohol is a major risk factor for several cancers.
-
Minimize Carcinogen Exposure: Strictly adhere to safety protocols at work, such as wearing protective gear.
-
Adhere to Vaccinations: Hepatitis B and Human Papillomavirus () vaccinations are essential for preventing related cancers.
-
Safe Sexual Practices: Prevent sexually transmitted infections to lower the risk of associated cancers.
-
Regular Early Screening: Adhere strictly to the nationally recommended standard cancer screening schedule based on age and gender.
