Why are more and more people suffering from cancer? Is there any way to keep us away from cancer?

Xiao Jiu made some summaries based on previous interviews, hoping to help everyone.

The most contradictory cause of cancer:

Life expectancy is getting longer and longer

It is often said in the news that some people get cancer at a young age, but in general, cancer is still an age-related disease, and people in their 70 s are always more likely to get cancer than children in their 7 s.

With the improvement of economic and social living standards, people's life expectancy is getting higher and higher, which is a good thing, but in the context of aging, the number of cancer patients will naturally increase.

Anti-cancer reminder: It is necessary to have a routine physical examination every year. At a certain age, especially for people with certain cancer risk factors, it is necessary to increase targeted anti-cancer physical examination. For example, old smokers can have regular low-dose spiral CT screening for lung cancer after the age of 40, and women over the age of 40 can also consider molybdenum target screening for breast cancer.

In addition, the most convenient and effective means of thyroid cancer is thyroid ultrasound, gastrointestinal cancer can be examined by gastrointestinal endoscopy, liver cancer screening can be diagnosed by liver CT+ enhanced CT, and prostate cancer screening can be done by prostate ultrasound.

The deadliest cause of cancer: genes

20 13 American actress Angelina Jolie took the initiative to undergo preventive bilateral mastectomy to reduce the risk of cancer. The reason is that Julie's mother has breast cancer, and she also found herself carrying the BRCA 1 gene through genetic testing. The existence of this gene means that her risk of breast cancer is 65% higher than that of normal people.

Cancer prevention reminder: gene carcinogenesis is the most elusive, at least under the existing medical conditions. If economic conditions permit, you can also choose genetic testing like Julie to predict diseases and prevent them in advance.

However, some doctors warn that premature genetic testing may bring unnecessary psychological burden to people, and the cost is not cheap. It is not enough to do this, but we must think carefully.

The most realistic cause of cancer: unhealthy lifestyle.

Everyone may carry cancer-causing genes, but there is no real problem, and the acquired bad lifestyle is likely to show up.

More than 80% of lung cancer deaths are related to smoking; Irregular meals, long-term consumption of pickled and smoked foods may induce gastric cancer; Long-term intake of aflatoxin contained in moldy food will induce liver cancer; Abuse of products containing hormones usually leads to bad mood and may induce breast cancer. ...

In the face of oncogenes, there is nothing we can do, but everyone can control their living habits.

Anti-cancer reminder: The World Health Organization (WHO) put forward the motto 16: "Reasonable diet, moderate exercise, psychological balance, quitting smoking and limiting alcohol". Isn't this the motto of cancer prevention? Xiao Jiu knows that it is impossible to do it completely in life, but he hopes everyone can do it as much as possible. It is also safe to stay away from cancer.

The most professional cause of cancer:

Physical and chemical factors

Some cancers have obvious occupational attributes, such as workers in coal mines, petroleum, chemical industry, steel and other industries, and the risk of lung cancer is relatively high. For example, people who work outdoors for a long time are at greater risk of skin cancer. For example, people in some special occupations may be exposed to asbestos and X-rays, which will also increase the risk of cancer.

Anti-cancer reminder: people engaged in special occupations should know more about the risks behind them and take preventive measures. In addition, special attention should be paid to decorative stones in home life, which contain trace radioactive elements, which can easily damage the body. It is suggested not to use too much stone in decoration. If you use it, you'd better test it and keep it within a safe range.

The most definite cause of cancer: virus infection.

Many cancers are thought to be related to viruses, among which cervical cancer is the most clear one.

Human papillomavirus, also known as human papillomavirus, is the main pathogenic factor of cervical cancer. If human papillomavirus is a high-risk persistent infection, it indicates that cervical cancer is more likely to occur.

Anti-cancer reminder: Cervical cancer vaccine has been listed in China, and recently domestic cervical cancer vaccine has also come out. Eligible sisters can make an appointment for vaccination at the local vaccination point. It is now believed that vaccination before sex has the best preventive effect.

The above-mentioned causes of cancer do not exist in isolation, and there are other more individual causes of cancer. We hope to prevent cancer and not be attacked by cancer, but the occurrence of cancer is often hard to prevent. If we are unfortunately recruited, we must also receive formal treatment.

When cancer comes, you must receive regular treatment as soon as possible!

A few days ago, Xiao Jiu interviewed Liu Peng, deputy chief physician of the Department of Oncology, Cancer Hospital of China Academy of Medical Sciences. He reminded that when cancer comes, the best countermeasure is to receive regular treatment as soon as possible!

As for some circulating cases of cancer self-healing, except for misdiagnosis, the incidence of cancer self-healing is extremely low, and individual cases are of little reference value to the overall cancer patients, especially because the expectation of self-healing cannot affect the standardized treatment. After all, "self-healing" is not the main cure.

In addition, it is very important for cancer patients to have a positive and optimistic attitude towards life. While taking medication, exercise properly (such as walking, gymnastics, yoga, etc. ), reasonable diet conditioning (such as low fat, moderate protein, enough calories, enough vitamins, cellulose, etc. ) and reasonable rest (sleep quality management) are also helpful to the condition.

The dead are gone, and all kinds of cancers still exist in this world. I hope everyone can do what they can. Stay away from cancer, stay away!
