             Notes: 1. The hospital-reported data on five-year survival rates for five major types of cancer reported by hospitals from 2017 to 2021
                   (followed up until 2022) were analyzed.
                 2. According to the screening data and five-year survival rates for patients diagnosed with stages 0 and 1 oral cavity cancer
                   by MOHW, approximately 65% of the stage 0 cases have been classified under "precancerous lesions" in actual practice.
                   Consequently, the number of stage 0 cases (306 entries) has significantly less compared to that of stage 1 cases (7,906 entries).
                   This in turn has caused significant fluctuations in the data for survival rate.
                 3. Relative 5-year survival rate: the corrected competing risk survival rate would be the survival rate from the cancer. Relative
                   survival rate = Observed survival rate / Expected survival rate x100%.



            2. Improving the Quality of Cancer Care          Section 2 Health Surveillance
               Certification of the cancer care quality for hospitals   Continued to advance health surveillance surveys
               began in 2008, with a total of 67 hospitals certified   for population at all stages of the lifespan, collected
               by 2023; more than 85% of cancer patients are   and utilized comprehensive monitoring data for the
               treated in these hospitals.                   life course health promotion, diets and nutrition, and
                                                             prevention and control of non-communicable disease

                         Health Surveillance


            Section 1 Health Communication
                 Promoted  diverse  dissemination  of  health
            information, enhanced public health literacy, and
            delivered health information and educational materials
            through the "Health 99 Plus" website, with an
            average monthly visitation of 630,000 individuals.
            Health information is spread through Facebook fan
            pages, LINE@, and Instagram official accounts, with
            an average monthly reach of 1.25 million people on
            Facebook fan pages.
