Keigo Higashino Dies at 68 — Why Colon Cancer Is Caught Too Late, and How Screening Works
Loading

説明文:
On July 27, 2026, Japanese publisher Kodansha announced that novelist Keigo Higashino — author of The Devotion of Suspect X — died of colon cancer on July 23, at age 68. His books have been published in 41 countries and regions, and tributes poured in from China, Taiwan, South Korea and beyond. Colon cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in Japan, yet in its early stages it usually causes no symptoms at all. This video looks back at Higashino’s forty-year career, then walks through the numbers and the system: the survival gap between cancers caught early and late, how Japan’s two-step screening relay works, where that relay breaks down, and the honest limits of screening.
※Higashino’s cancer stage and screening history were not disclosed. This video discusses statistics and systems, not his individual case.
