Newest Cancer Prevention Guidelines -Cistanche Effect

In addition to the kidney and immunity system, annoying cancer can grow in all parts of the human body, causing harm to the body. There are currently over a hundred different types of cancer in the medical world. And there are only a few that are more familiar to everyday people. And these well-known cancers are often the most lethal.

Under normal circumstances, some studies believe that 14 different parts of cancer account for about 80% of all cancers. These cancers are very tenacious. They are mainly: breast cancer, lung cancer, colorectal cancer, prostate cancer, bladder cancer, nasopharyngeal cancer, esophageal cancer, gastric cancer, uterine cancer, ovarian cancer, liver cancer, melanoma, and leukemia. According to incomplete statistics, in our country, there are four most common cancers, namely lung cancer, stomach cancer, liver cancer, and colorectal cancer. In my country, these four types of cancer together account for more than half of all cancer incidence. Lung cancer is often the number one killer. But there are so many cancers, don't be afraid, because cancer is preventable and controllable.

In the past, the understanding of cancer was closely related to death, and it also included the hardships and pains of the treatment process, and even ended up with no money and manpower. With the development of medical science, there are more and more means of prevention, clinical diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation, and tumors are no longer as scary as they used to be. The World Health Organization has concluded that nearly half of all tumors are preventable, and the majority of tumors in the other half can be diagnosed at an early stage with a chance of being cured. Moreover, after standard treatment, cancer patients can return to normal life after the disease is controlled, and the impact of tumor on life is minimized.

Therefore, tumors are preventable, curable, and controllable.

These 2 represent the two major checkpoints in the body. We must know that cancer is originally a normal cell in our body, while cancer cells are derived from "mutated" normal cells, and it takes many years to grow into tumors. Therefore, getting cancer is not something that can be achieved overnight, and the formation of cancer cells is quite complicated. It has three characteristics of infinite growth, transformation, and transfer, so it is difficult to eliminate. The "renegade" cells have gone off the rails and set their own proliferation rate, and we will only notice when they accumulate more than 1 billion. The proliferation rate of cancer cells is calculated by the doubling time, 1 becomes 2, 2 becomes 4, and so on. Therefore, there is a saying: "In fact, everyone has cancer cells in their bodies!" This sentence itself is not wrong, because cancer cells are our normal cells, which have mutated and grown into tumors through changes, that is, cancer!

One of the causes of cellular mutiny: inflammation

Inflammation plays a decisive role in the occurrence, development, invasion, and metastasis of cancer. Many cancers occur at the site of infection, chronic irritation, and inflammation. Whether it is caused by viruses, bacteria, or other reasons, inflammation is closely related to cancer.

In the cancer microenvironment, there are many inflammatory cells, these inflammatory cells are an indispensable part of the occurrence and development of cancer cells, which enable cancer cells to survive, proliferate and migrate. It has now been found that inflammation may be a common factor in the process of cell carcinogenesis.

When inflammation becomes chronic after a long time of cure, it will have a great impact on the health of the body, so you must not ignore it! Cells are prone to genetic changes in the sick environment of the body, forming powerful and aggressive cancer cells. When the body's immunity is low and insufficient to fight against these disobedient cells, cancer occurs.

The two major cancer prevention levels in the body

Level 1: Tumor suppressor genes

So far, scientists have isolated and identified more than 100 tumor suppressor genes from cells, such as Rb, P53, APC, nm23, and other common genes. Chromosomal aberrations are the molecular genetic basis for the generation of cancer cells, and tumor suppressor genes can repair damaged genes through the cell cycle checkpoint mechanism. At the same time, tumor suppressor genes dominate the differentiation regulation of cells and inhibit tumor development through differentiation. By encoding proteins that regulate the transcription of specific genes that regulate cell growth, oncogenes are turned off and factors that stimulate cell growth are inhibited. Among them, P53 is the most famous, which can encode the P53 protein. P53 protein can regulate the cell cycle and prevent the occurrence of cancer, therefore, P53 protein is called the guardian of the genome. Since its discovery in 1979, the P53 gene has been studied in detail. This single gene most frequently mutated in human tumors can prevent cells from becoming cancerous by promoting cell aging. Normally, cells that are mutated or at risk receive a signal to let them become cancerous. It stops growing or dies, but cells lacking P53 ignore these signals.

Level 2: The immune system

From the perspective of cancer immunology, cancer is caused by the inability of the human immune system to detect and eliminate cells in the early stage of canceration, so that they have the opportunity to develop into cancerous tumors. The immune system of cancer patients also affects the speed of disease progression and the effectiveness of treatment. Therefore, if cancer patients can improve their own immunity, it will be very helpful for the success of anti-cancer.

Every adult produces 3000-6000 cancer cells every day. However, the newly generated cancer cells in normal people are almost killed by the body's own natural killer cells (NK cells). So, not everyone will get cancer. It is only when the immune system is down, that is, natural killer cells, that the cancer cells have the upper hand. Over time, cancer will develop after 5-10 years. The best doctors in the world are their own immune systems, immune cells, not doctors and drugs. Now there is a subject called psychoneuroimmunology. We say that some people die within a few days of being diagnosed with cancer. In fact, many of these cases are not caused by the development of tumors, but because people are in extreme panic and anxiety. Stress can reduce the role of the immune system in the fight against malignant tumors, aggravate the disease, and even collapse and fail of multiple organs throughout the body. In layman's terms, it is scaring to death, which has a scientific mechanism.

(Well, the editor admits that the explanation of the two major levels here is a bit professional, everyone try to understand it~)

8 Lifestyles cause your Cancers

A bad lifestyle can really cause cancer. According to the World Health Organization, 45% of cancers are closely related to lifestyle.

Kate Mandosa, head of health information at the World Cancer Research Fund, said that many people still don't realize that making adjustments to life details such as breakfast and exercise levels can help reduce cancer risk. If you can insist on eating a healthy diet, actively exercising, and maintaining a reasonable weight, the incidence of colon cancer, breast cancer and prostate cancer can be greatly reduced. To this end, the World Cancer Research Fund recently developed a simple test for the public to measure the health of their lifestyles.

【Expert advice】

For the above questions, the best answer is B and the worst is C. If you choose more C, it means that the lifestyle is not healthy enough and needs to be adjusted urgently. In terms of nutritional intake, fruits and vegetables, whole grains and beans should be the main ones, because these foods are relatively low in calories, have more dietary fiber and water, can maintain a feeling of fullness for a long time, and these vegetarian foods are rich in a large number of essential nutrients for the human body. nutrients such as vitamins and minerals, as well as health-promoting phytochemicals.

【Expert advice】

For the above questions, the best answer is C, and the worst is A. If you choose more A, it means that your lifestyle needs to be adjusted urgently. When exercising, you should choose more activities that can be part of your daily life, which will help you persist for a long time, consume body calories, exercise your muscles, and make your joints more flexible and your body stronger. Physical activity should be moderately active every day, starting with 10 minutes and gradually increasing to 30 minutes or more. Office workers go for a walk at lunchtime or swim once or twice a week and so on.

In fact, we have done these tests and have explained a lot of problems. There are 8 lifestyles that are the main reasons for the incidence of cancer:

The first: smoking

Smoking is the most important factor leading to cancer. Among the modifiable lifestyle factors that lead to cancer in the world, smoking accounts for nearly 1/3 of the proportion. Dr. Li Zhizhong (Pineapple), a famous tumor science writer, recently concluded: 6 smokers will 1 person died of lung cancer before the age of 75. If the scope was narrowed to the group who smoked more than 5 cigarettes a day, then 1 in 4 people would die of lung cancer. Smokers who die from lung cancer account for less than one-third of all smoking-related deaths. Now the average life expectancy is close to 80 years old, but one-third of people who smoke all their lives will not live to 65 years old.

The second: obesity

Keep your weight within a healthy range and avoid weight gain as an adult.

Studies have shown that excess body fat is the cause of many cancers. Evidence that obesity is associated with cancer has grown over the past decade. Obesity can lead to the following 14 different malignant tumors!

picture

So what is a healthy weight? The most simple and commonly used indicator is the Body Mass Index (BMI), which is calculated by dividing the weight (calculated in kilograms) by the square of the height (calculated in meters) (kg/m2). The standard BMI range of the Chinese population is Between 18.5-24. Between 24-28 is overweight and over 28 is obese.(unit

(Taking this editor as an example, my weight is 62kg and my height is 1.75m, so my BMI is equal to 20.24 after rounding up. Although I think I am a little fat, I definitely have a healthy weight. Now! Let's do the math for yourself~)

The current global obesity control situation is not optimistic. Overweight and obesity have been on the rise around the world since 1975. In 2016, 1.97 billion adults and more than 330 million children worldwide were classified as overweight or obese. So maintaining a healthy weight comes first.

From the perspective of cancer prevention, the report recommends that the body weight be as thin as possible within the standard range. Because for some types of tumors, even within the so-called "healthy range," the risk of developing a tumor increases with body fat. And childhood overweight and obesity are likely to continue into adulthood, so maintaining a healthy weight needs to "start from the baby", don't think that children should be "fat and fat".

So how do you maintain a healthy weight? One of the most common phrases we say is "shut your mouth and stretch your legs". In addition to paying attention to diet, regular and moderate exercise is essential.

A study of 1.44 million people in Europe and the United States showed that exercise can reduce the risk of 13 malignant tumors, of which the highest is esophageal (adenocarcinoma) cancer, which reduces the risk by 42%!

The anti-cancer mechanism of exercise

1. Regulation of immune mechanisms

Exercise can increase the number of specific immune cells, regulate one's own immune system, and improve the body's resistance. Sweat excreted during exercise is also a way for the body to excrete waste and harmful substances.

2. Increase the growth rate of white blood cells

White blood cells are the body's "guardian". When bacteria and viruses invade the human body, white blood cells will pass through the walls of capillaries and engulf those "illegal molecules". Likewise, white blood cells prevent cancer cells from surviving and spreading in the body.

3. Improve cellular antioxidant capacity

Various external factors such as environmental pollution and viruses may damage our body at any time, which can lead to excessive free radicals in the body, even DNA damage, and gene mutations in cells, thereby increasing the risk of various diseases and accelerating aging.

Exercise can improve the antioxidant capacity of cells, remove excess free radicals in the body, and improve the self-repairing ability of DNA; it can also promote metabolism and reduce the accumulation of harmful substances in the body, thereby reducing the risk of cancer.

4. Weight Control

As we all know, obesity can bring many problems to our body. Not only the three highs, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, according to a new data from the American Cancer Institute: 7.8% of cancer incidence and 6.5% of cancer deaths are related to overweight!

For obese people, in addition to a healthy diet, reasonable exercise is an excellent way to lose weight; for ordinary people, exercise can help control weight and reduce the risk of cancer.

The WHO recommends that every adult be active every day, with at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise or at least 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic exercise per week. Please note that this is a minimum standard. If you want to achieve the purpose of preventing tumors, the amount of exercise and the effect are proportional. If you need to have a significant effect on weight control, you need to achieve 45-60 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise every day.

So what exactly is moderate-intensity exercise? Moderate-intensity exercise refers to exercise that raises your heart rate to around 60%-75% of your maximum heart rate. To calculate a person's maximum heart rate, a simple formula such as "220-age" can be used to roughly estimate. For example, a 20-year-old young man has a maximum heart rate of about 200. To achieve moderate-intensity exercise, he needs to maintain a heart rate of at least 120-150; while a 50-year-old middle-aged person has a maximum heart rate of about 170, and moderate-intensity exercise is maintained at 102- It can be between 128.

So what kind of exercise is better to choose? We recommend that you can do any exercise that suits you as long as the intensity and time meet the standards. Jogging, cycling, swimming, badminton, dancing, etc. can all be good choices. Some friends will choose to go out for a walk after dinner, count the steps on the phone, and even call it: I walk 10,000 steps every day! However, because the target heart rate is not reached, this type of "Buddha-based exercise" is ineffective. Walking for an hour is worse than jogging for 30 minutes.

White-collar workers keep sitting for a long time due to work reasons. Sitting for long periods of time can lead to muscle fatigue, slowed blood flow, and metabolic disturbances, which not only increase the risk of cancer, but also increase the risk of various other chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes. We suggest that you can take time to do activities between work and stretch your muscles and bones. It not only prevents diseases, but also keeps you in shape.

At the same time, sitting on the sofa watching TV, sitting in front of the computer playing games, sitting on the bed holding the Ipad to watch the drama and so on, so-called "screen time" also belongs to the category of sedentary. "Screen time" is also often associated with the consumption of high-calorie snack drinks, which further contributes to weight gain. After a day's work, I am exhausted. When I go home, I sit on the sofa and watch TV, eat a bag of potato chips, and have a cup of Coke. It has become the normal life of many white-collar workers. However, this dangerous lifestyle paved the way for future chronic diseases.

It's better to go home and exercise than to lie on the sofa. To deal with various wine and dinner parties, it is better to make an appointment with your friends for a "health bureau".

The third: drinking

From the point of view of cancer prevention, it is best not to drink alcohol!

Drinking alcohol can prevent kidney cancer, but the carcinogenic effects of alcohol on other organs far outweigh its benefits. Alcohol was classified as a Class I carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) in 1988. There is good evidence that alcohol increases the risk of cancer of the oropharynx, larynx, esophagus (squam), stomach, liver, colorectum, breast, and some studies have linked it to lung, pancreatic, and skin cancers.

Alcohol (ethanol) is metabolized to acetaldehyde, and acetaldehyde can cause DNA damage and mutation. This damage results in DNA double-strand breaks, the accumulation of DNA damage in the cell promotes the degradation of the cell itself, and the resulting misrepair of this damage can trigger malignancy. However, 540 million people in Asia carry the mutation of the acetaldehyde dehydrogenase gene, which makes it difficult to convert ethanol into acetaldehyde after it is converted into acetic acid. The toxic acetaldehyde accumulates in the body, causing more serious consequences. Therefore, drinking and blush does not mean that the amount of alcohol is good, but it is a dangerous manifestation of acetaldehyde conversion disorder, and drinking should be restricted. Drinking alcohol also increases estrogen levels in women and increases the risk of breast cancer, which is why "alcohol abstinence" rather than "alcohol restriction" is advocated among breast cancer patients.

Some people say that drinking red wine can help prevent cardiovascular disease? Is it okay to drink a little alcohol? This is despite studies showing that drinking small amounts of alcohol may reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease in some people. But this gain is particularly insignificant when compared with solid evidence of carcinogenicity. From the point of view of cancer prevention, there is no safe amount of alcohol, and even a small amount of alcohol is associated with cancer risk. So the safest way is to stay away from alcohol.

Fourth: Regularly drink sugar-sweetened beverages

Want to rehydrate? Finish drinking water! Want a drink? You can choose unsweetened tea or coffee. Tea and coffee may also have a certain preventive effect on some malignant tumors (such as liver cancer, endometrial cancer and bladder cancer, etc.).

But now many people, especially teenage friends, just love to drink sugary drinks, and even use drinks instead of water. A variety of milk teas, soft drinks, and beverages are available

Like Western fast food, sugar-sweetened beverages are one of the main reasons for the soaring global obesity rate. Unlike food, most of the sugar-sweetened beverages ingested do not feel full, so it is easy to consume too much sugar in addition to the original food without knowing it. This energy is deposited in the body unknowingly, and combined with insufficient physical activity, it leads to overweight and obesity. In addition to cancer, sugar-sweetened beverages increase the risk of type 2 diabetes and other oral problems.

It's easy to drink a bottle of Coke, but will you eat so much sugar in your mouth? In fact, their sugar content is the same.

No. 5: Too little intake of fruits and vegetables

Make whole grains, vegetables, fruits, and legumes the main components of your daily diet.

What can you eat to reduce your cancer risk? Whole grains, vegetables, fruits, and legumes are your top choices.

So what are whole grains? Whole grains are grain seeds that have not been refined after hulling. It preserves the bran, germ, and endosperm of the grain and provides the body with more protein, fiber, and other essential vitamins and minerals, and there is strong evidence that eating whole grains can help reduce colorectal cancer risk. Whole wheat, brown rice, barley, oats, buckwheat, sorghum, black rice, millet, barley, and corn all belong to the category of whole grains.

picture

And the more words we usually say are "coarse grains" and "miscellaneous grains", such as "coarse grain rice" and "miscellaneous grain porridge" that many friends love to cook. The concept of whole grains is actually a combination of whole grains and legumes.

Another highlight is "non-starchy vegetables." The report recommends a daily intake of at least 400g of various non-starchy vegetables and fruits. So what are "non-starchy vegetables"?

As the name suggests, non-starchy vegetables refer to vegetables that are not starch-based. All kinds of leafy vegetables, cruciferous vegetables (such as broccoli), okra, eggplant, etc. are non-starchy vegetables, but potatoes, sweet potatoes, and yams are not included. Such root foods. So in the concept of 400g per day, don't use potatoes to recharge. Studies have shown that non-starchy vegetables and fruits can reduce the risk of many upper aerodigestive tract tumors, such as the risk of tumors of the mouth, nasopharynx, esophagus, lung, stomach and colorectum.

Why do these foods reduce the risk of cancer? First of all, these foods are rich in dietary fiber, which can produce beneficial short-chain fatty acids by improving intestinal flora and inhibit the proliferation of colon cancer cells; at the same time, these foods are rich in carotene, vitamin A/C/E, selenium, phenol Acids, flavonoids, and glucosinolates have potential to prevent cell mutation through antioxidant and other pathways. However, these substances are only suitable for supplementation from food and should not be supplemented by additional dietary supplements.

Type 6: Excessive intake of red meat

Red meat refers to the meat of all mammals. The common ones are mainly pork, beef, and mutton, and of course, rabbits, donkeys, and other meats are also included. The recommendation doesn't completely stop eating red meat (if it did, most people would be crazy). Because red meat is actually a good source of nutrients, including protein, iron, zinc, and vitamin B12. However, you need to control the amount. The recommended weekly intake is 350-500 grams of cooked meat (500g of cooked meat is about 700-750g of raw meat). If you eat too much meat, you can supplement your protein intake with other ways such as eggs, chicken, fish, seafood, or soy products.

Why is it bad to eat more red meat? Studies have shown that eating too much red meat increases the risk of colorectal cancer. For every 100g of red meat added per day, the risk of colorectal cancer increases by 12%. On the one hand, when high-protein and high-fat red meat is cooked, high-temperature cooking methods such as frying and roasting are mostly used, which will produce carcinogenic substances such as heterocyclic amines and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. At the same time, the heme iron rich in red meat can promote colorectal canceration by stimulating the endogenous formation of nitroso compounds.

In addition to processed meat, the report recommends that people avoid eating as much as possible. Processed meat refers to meat that has been cured, smoked, fermented or otherwise processed. All kinds of bacon, sausage, ham, bacon, bacon, etc. belong to the category of processed meat. Eating 50g of processed meat a day increases the risk of colorectal cancer by 16%. In addition to the previous effect of red meat on colorectal cancer, the content of exogenous nitroso compounds in processed meat was significantly increased, and nitrosamines (the precursors are nitrites) are clear class I carcinogens.

Foods high in salt, sugar, and fat

High-fat, high-sugar Western-style fast food and other processed snacks are loved by people all over the world due to their convenience in production, storage, low price, and good taste. It has also led to a pandemic of obesity not only in developed countries but also in developing countries.

We know that obesity is an important factor in cancer. Although there is no direct evidence that these foods are carcinogenic, excessive consumption of these foods will lead to excessive calorie intake. Excessive calorie hoarding and lack of exercise lead to weight gain, overweight and obesity, and indirectly have a carcinogenic effect. At the same time, such a dietary pattern increases the glycemic load, which is one of the causes of endometrial cancer.

Therefore, even if high-fat, high-sugar Western-style fast food does not cause cancer, it is recommended to eat as little as possible.

Seventh: Lack of breastfeeding

The report's recommendations are in line with WHO's recommendation that newborns be exclusively breastfed for the first six months and supplemented with other foods while continuing to breastfeed from six months to two years of age or longer.

We all know breastfeeding is good. Breastfeeding provides optimal nutrition for the growth and development of healthy babies, and because breast milk is rich in immunoglobulins, breast milk, especially colostrum, is considered the first dose of vaccine for a newborn baby. In addition, recent studies have shown that breast milk can also prevent some childhood and even adult obesity. We know that obesity is an important factor in the development of cancer.

Breastfeeding can also protect the mother, the longer the breastfeeding time, the more significant the prevention effect of breast cancer. Research shows that every 5 months of breastfeeding can reduce the risk of breast cancer by 2%.

picture

Eighth kind: eat various health products

People only need nutritional supplements under special conditions. If folic acid needs to be supplemented during pregnancy, or there is a clear deficiency such as dietary anemia, iron or folic acid needs to be supplemented, and osteoporosis needs to take calcium supplements and vitamin D. For most people, eating a balanced diet and getting enough exercise is the best way to prevent cancer, and no nutritional supplements are needed at all.

But there are many people who always feel that they should "eat something" to prevent cancer. Or out of an opportunistic mentality, I think that as long as all kinds of nutrients are supplemented, I can do without exercise and a balanced diet. But don't expect to prevent cancer by taking health supplements and dietary supplements. Because sometimes there are unexpectedly bad endings. For example, the oxygen-free radicals produced in the human body can damage normal cells, cause distortion and promote the formation of cancer, while beta-carotene is an antioxidant. Eating foods rich in beta-carotene can prevent the body from oxygen-free radicals. of destruction. Then let's try to supplement beta-carotene in high-risk groups, right? However, a study found that after supplementing smokers with beta-carotene, the incidence of lung cancer was significantly increased. It may be related to excessive β-carotene being oxidized to form harmful oxidation products. Vitamin D is thought to potentially reduce the incidence of colorectal cancer, but excessive supplementation may also have unintended consequences, so dietary supplements are still not recommended unless there is a medical need.

As for the precious medicinal materials such as Ganoderma lucidum, Cordyceps Sinensis, and ginseng, which are traditionally loved by the Chinese people, there is no evidence that they have any effect on the prevention of tumors. There may also be various risks such as excessive heavy metals. By drinking to prevent disease, the harm far outweighs the benefit, because alcohol itself is a class I carcinogen. Therefore, health supplements not only have no effect on preventing cancer, but some may even increase the risk of cancer.

So don't expect to achieve an anti-cancer effect by "replenishing something", eating dynamic balance is the right way.

Tertiary Prevention of Cancer

Cancer prevention covers a wide range, including targeted population prevention of certain tumors (such as behavioral and chemical interventions based on healthy living patterns), population screening of certain tumors (such as targeted early detection, Early diagnosis and early treatment), nationwide health education, rehabilitation and palliative care for cancer patients, etc., in medicine, cancer prevention is divided into three levels.

Prevention is mainly vaccination, and regular detection of antibody levels, timely replanting. There is no vaccine for hepatitis C, but hepatitis C can be cured and should be treated in time after discovery.

Gastric cancer: Prevention of Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection and timely treatment of infection.

Secondary prevention of tumors: Screening for precancerous lesions or early-stage tumors in specific high-risk groups.

In 2018, the Shanghai Anti-Cancer Association issued the "Recommendations for the Screening and Prevention of Common Malignant Tumors in Residents", which proposed targeted screening recommendations for different groups of people for seven common malignant tumors. Learn about cancer screening: screening for cervical cancer, breast cancer, lung cancer, stomach cancer, colorectal cancer, liver cancer, prostate cancer, etc.

For specific screening recommendations and high-risk objects, please click → Tumor Screening: "Required Course" for Middle-aged and Older People

Tertiary preventive measures for tumors: mainly for the current patients with tumors to prevent a recurrence, reduce their complications, prevent disability, improve survival and recovery rates, as well as reduce pain caused by tumors, improve quality of life, and promote rehabilitation.

Due to the lack of a correct understanding of tumor rehabilitation, prejudice and discrimination against tumor patients are common. Everyone believes that if a tumor cannot be cured well if a malignant tumor is obtained, it is "abolished". In addition to treatment, tumor patients also need to prevent recurrence and metastasis. , I feel that as soon as I get a tumor, I will be detained with a "cap" for life, which will greatly hinder the tumor patient's return to normal work and life after the disease.

Cancer centers should not only undertake the responsibilities of diagnosis and treatment, but also include population research and basic research. In the past, we thought that tumor prevention was how to prevent cancer patients from getting cancer. Now, the concept of prevention has been expanded. How to improve the prognosis of patients who have cancer and avoid dying from cancer is also an important research field of tumor prevention.

1) Regular follow-up visits

Regular follow-up visits are very important. Some patients disappear after treatment. In fact, for cancer patients, regular follow-up visits are also part of standardized treatment, allowing patients to better understand their physical condition and disease progression. On this basis, developing a healthy lifestyle will help to improve the treatment effect, improve the prognosis, reduce recurrence and metastasis, improve the quality of life and survival rate, and reduce the mortality rate.

2) Cancer patients can also maintain a healthy lifestyle

A healthy lifestyle should include maintaining weight, maintaining physical activity and physical activity, choosing healthy meals, using health supplements carefully, and quitting smoking and drinking alcohol.

picture

3) Encourage cancer patients to speak up

In addition, psychological care should be given to cancer patients, so that they can eliminate their sense of helplessness and loneliness, so as to better return to society and live a healthy life. Caring for cancer patients is not to "isolate" cancer patients, but to treat them as patients with chronic diseases like those with hypertension and diabetes. Likewise, cancer patients and their families should have this philosophy.

People over 40 take cancer seriously

After the age of 50, the incidence of malignant tumors began to rise sharply, and from the age of 40, the precancerous lesions of various types of tumors began to gradually appear. Cancer is the largest disease burden in the workforce aged 40-60. They are the main force of economic development and the backbone of their respective families. Once they are diagnosed with cancer, especially in the middle and late stages, the impact on individuals and families is immeasurable. We once made an account: if the tumor is found at an early stage, as long as the local excision is performed, the general medical expenses can be afforded by the general family.

A colleague of the editor found a ground-glass opacity on the lungs during the physical examination of the employees of the unit. The lung cancer expert thought that surgery was necessary after seeing it. The surgery was performed under thoracoscopy. The result showed that it was adenocarcinoma in situ with micro-invasion (early stage). . The total cost of hospitalization was 30,000 yuan. I paid 10,000 yuan by myself, and the commercial insurance reimbursed some more. I didn't spend much money. Today, he is no different from before the operation. He participates in the staff sports meeting and various activities of the unit every year.

If it is some early precancerous lesions, it can even be removed by outpatient surgery or endoscopy. However, if once progressed, radiotherapy and chemotherapy need to be added, and there will be more medical expenses for patients. If at an advanced stage, there is distant metastasis, in addition to radiotherapy and chemotherapy, some patients can use targeted drugs or immunotherapy to achieve long-term survival, but more costs are needed to support the continuity of treatment. It can be said that early detection and late detection of cancer are vastly different in terms of prognosis, quality of life and treatment costs.

Therefore, if you can understand some tumor prevention knowledge and prevent it early, you can reduce the risk of cancer; if you can find, diagnose, and treat early, and pay attention to the recovery period after treatment, you can get longer survival and better recovery even if you have cancer. good quality of life.

Primary preventive measures for tumors: mainly for the general population to eliminate or reduce carcinogenic factors.

1. Restart your good lifestyle, like the eight lifestyle cancers we mentioned earlier.

2. Infection control, vaccination defense

Such as:

Cervical cancer: Numerous studies have strongly demonstrated a causal relationship between human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and cervical cancer. How to prevent HPV infection, the most effective way is to inject HPV vaccine, HPV vaccine is currently on the market in China.

Liver Cancer: Prevention of Hepatitis B (HBV) and Hepatitis C (HCV), Hepatitis B

Prevention is mainly vaccination, and regular detection of antibody levels, timely replanting. There is no vaccine for hepatitis C, but hepatitis C can be cured and should be treated in time after discovery.

Gastric cancer: Prevention of Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection and timely treatment of infection.

Secondary prevention of tumors: Screening for precancerous lesions or early-stage tumors in specific high-risk groups.

3) Encourage cancer patients to speak up

In addition, psychological care should be given to cancer patients, so that they can eliminate their sense of helplessness and loneliness, so as to better return to society and live a healthy life. Caring for cancer patients is not to "isolate" cancer patients, but to treat them as patients with chronic diseases like those with hypertension and diabetes. Likewise, cancer patients and their families should have this philosophy.

People over 40 take cancer seriously

After the age of 50, the incidence of malignant tumors began to rise sharply, and from the age of 40, the precancerous lesions of various types of tumors began to gradually appear. Cancer is the largest disease burden in the workforce aged 40-60. They are the main force of economic development and the backbone of their respective families. Once they are diagnosed with cancer, especially in the middle and late stages, the impact on individuals and families is immeasurable. We once made an account: if the tumor is found at an early stage, as long as the local excision is performed, the general medical expenses can be afforded by the general family.

A colleague of the editor found a ground-glass opacity on the lungs during the physical examination of the employees of the unit. The lung cancer expert thought that surgery was necessary after seeing it. The surgery was performed under thoracoscopy. The result showed that it was adenocarcinoma in situ with micro-invasion (early stage). . The total cost of hospitalization was 30,000 yuan. I paid 10,000 yuan by myself, and the commercial insurance reimbursed some more. I didn't spend much money. Today, he is no different from before the operation. He participates in the staff sports meeting and various activities of the unit every year.

If it is some early precancerous lesions, it can even be removed by outpatient surgery or endoscopy. However, if once progressed, radiotherapy and chemotherapy need to be added, and there will be more medical expenses for patients. If at an advanced stage, there is distant metastasis, in addition to radiotherapy and chemotherapy, some patients can use targeted drugs or immunotherapy to achieve long-term survival, but more costs are needed to support the continuity of treatment. It can be said that early detection and late detection of cancer are vastly different in terms of prognosis, quality of life and treatment costs.

Therefore, if you can understand some tumor prevention knowledge and prevent it early, you can reduce the risk of cancer; if you can find, diagnose, and treat early, and pay attention to the recovery period after treatment, you can get longer survival and better recovery even if you have cancer. good quality of life.
