BEIJING -- The five-year survival rate for people diagnosed with malignant tumors in China has increased to over 40 percent, up from 30.9 percent 10 years ago, according to a senior health official.
The rise has been attributed to the improvement of the country's medical care quality and diagnosis and treatment capabilities, said Jiao Yahui, head of the Bureau of the Medical Administration of the National Health Commission, at a press conference on Tuesday.
