Screening

for breast and colon cancers has rebounded after decreasing or stalling during pandemic-era lockdowns, researchers reported April 23 in the journal

And, despite the pandemic, smoking rates have continued to go down, researchers said.

研究人员表示，尽管疫情肆虐，吸烟率还是持续下降。

However, cervical cancer screening remains lower than pre-pandemic levels, and the HPV vaccination rate has not increased since the pandemic, researchers found.

然而，研究人员发现，宫颈癌筛查仍然低于疫情前的水平，而且自疫情以来，HPV疫苗接种率并没有提高。

Other major cancer risk factors like excess weight, physical inactivity and heavy alcohol use did not budge during the pandemic, marking a lack of progress, the study said.

研究称，其他主要的癌症风险因素，如超重、缺乏运动和大量饮酒，在疫情期间没有变化，这标志着缺乏进展。

“Cancer prevention and early detection are central to the American Cancer Society’s goal to ensure everyone has an opportunity to prevent, detect, treat, and survive cancer,” lead researcher

“癌症的预防和早期检测是美国癌症协会确保每个人都有机会预防、检测、治疗和战胜癌症这一目标的核心，”首席研究员

“These latest findings are encouraging, mainly the reduction in smoking rates and screening for certain cancers, but it’s clear urgent efforts are needed to address lagging cervical cancer prevention,” Bandi added.

“这些最新的发现令人鼓舞，主要是吸烟率的降低和某些癌症的筛查，但很明显，亟需努力解决宫颈癌预防滞后的问题，”班迪补充道。

An estimated 40% of U.S. cancer cases are attributable to risk factors that people can change, researchers said.

研究人员表示，估计美国40%的癌症病例是由人们可以改变的风险因素导致的。

These factors include smoking, excess weight, diet, exercise, exposure to ultraviolet radiation and infection with seven cancer-causing germs like

这些因素包括吸烟、超重、饮食、运动、暴露于紫外线辐射以及感染七种致癌病菌等。

HPV

人乳头瘤病毒

Cancer screening tests prevent thousands of cases and deaths every year, by detecting cancers in people with risk factors, researchers said.

研究人员表示，癌症筛查测试通过检测具有风险因素的人群中的癌症，每年预防了成千上万的病例和死亡。

For this new study, researchers analyzed data from four federal health surveys that track different cancer risk factors.

针对这项新研究，研究人员分析了跟踪不同癌症风险因素的四项联邦健康调查的数据。

Results showed that:

结果显示：

Cigarette smoking declined to 11% in 2023, but menthol cigarettes and flavored tobacco products continued to make tobacco use more appealing to young people, Black individuals and bisexual folks.

2023年，卷烟吸烟率下降到11%，但薄荷醇香烟和调味烟草产品继续使年轻人、黑人和双性恋者更容易被吸引使用烟草。

Breast cancer

乳腺癌

screening exceeded pre-pandemic levels, with 80% of eligible women undergoing the procedure after a decline during the pandemic.

筛查量超过了疫情前的水平，80% 的符合条件的女性在疫情导致下降后接受了该检查。

Colon cancer

结肠癌

screening also increased in 2023, with 60% of eligible people being screened, including 54% undergoing colonoscopy and 11% stool testing.

2023年，筛查率也有所上升，60%的符合条件的人接受了筛查，其中54%进行了结肠镜检查，11%进行了粪便检测。

Cervical cancer screening remained below pre-pandemic levels at 73%, continuing a decline dating to the early 2000s.

宫颈癌筛查率仍保持在 73%，低于疫情前的水平，延续了自 2000 年代初以来的下降趋势。

HPV vaccination rates among teens 13 to 17 years of age remained flat between 2021 and 2023 at 61%, reflecting pandemic-era disruptions.

2021年至2023年期间，13至17岁青少年的HPV疫苗接种率保持在61%不变，反映了疫情期间的中断影响。

Excess body weight in adults remains high, with 40% obese and 32% overweight.

成年人体重超标的情况仍然严重，其中40%肥胖，32%超重。

Less than half of adults (48%) meet recommended physical activity levels, and more than a quarter (27%) reported no leisure-time exercise.

不到一半的成年人（48%）达到推荐的身体活动水平，超过四分之一（27%）的人报告称在闲暇时间没有进行锻炼。

Heavy alcohol use remained stable at about 6% of the population, but was disproportionally higher among middle-aged people.

重度饮酒的比例在总人口中保持稳定，约为6%，但在中年人群中比例更高。

“Our report underscores the need to strengthen efforts to improve access and receipt of preventive services, including cancer screening, HPV vaccination, and counseling and treatment for tobacco dependence,” senior researcher

“我们的报告强调了需要加强努力来改善预防性服务的获取和接受情况，包括癌症筛查、HPV疫苗接种以及烟草依赖的咨询和治疗，”资深研究员表示。

However, ACS experts said these advances against cancer could be reversed if the Trump administration undermines staffing and funding of federal health agencies.

然而，美国癌症学会专家表示，如果特朗普政府削弱联邦卫生机构的人员配备和资金，这些对抗癌症的进展可能会被逆转。

“These findings only further prove how investments in tobacco control have helped reduce the number of people falling prey to Big Tobacco’s deadly products and practices,”

“这些发现进一步证明了对烟草控制的投资如何帮助减少了沦为大型烟草公司致命产品和做法受害者的人员数量，”

“Federal agencies have played a major role in helping to drive the successful reduction of smoking rates through critical tobacco control programs and funding,” she continued. “We are deeply concerned that recent cuts to these important agencies will jeopardize continued progress to reduce tobacco utilization nationwide.”.

“联邦机构通过关键的烟草控制计划和资金，在帮助推动吸烟率的成功降低方面发挥了重要作用，”她继续说道。“我们深感担忧的是，最近对这些重要机构的削减将危及全国范围内减少烟草使用的持续进展。”
