[Health literacy and cancer prevention].

This article reviews the literature on health literacy and cancer prevention, screening, treatment and prognosis. A large number of studies have shown that health literacy is positively correlated with public cancer risk awareness, cancer knowledge awareness rate, and cancer screening behavior, and positively correlated with the health service resource utilization ability of cancer patients, treatment compliance, and quality of life, and negatively correlated with the unhealthy lifestyle such as smoking and drinking. Some studies have problems such as small sample size, limited population, and inappropriate design. Some studies do not support the conclusions above. Therefore, multi-center, large-scale clinical studies and cohort studies should be conducted to provide more robust evidence for the relationship between the health literacy and cancer prevention, screening, and treatment.本研究对健康素养与癌症预防、筛查、治疗及转归的相关文献进行了综述。目前有大量研究显示健康素养与公众癌症风险意识、癌症知识知晓率、癌症筛查、卫生服务利用能力、治疗依从性、生命质量等呈正相关，与吸烟、酗酒等不健康生活方式呈负相关。有些研究存在样本量小，人群局限、设计不够严谨等问题，也有一些研究结果不支持上述结论，提示应开展多中心的、大型临床研究和队列研究，为研究健康素养与癌症预防、筛查、治疗及转归之间的关系提供更多循证依据。.
