Among them, gastric cancer is a malignant disease, and it is precisely because of the improvement of people's living standards that people pay less and less attention to diet. They often order takeout or eat some roadside stalls with very poor sanitary conditions, which leads to some stomach problems. According to scientific statistics, China is one of the countries most prone to gastric cancer in the world, and more than half of the patients with gastric cancer in the world are located in China. At present, there are two main causes of gastric cancer.
The first is gene-related gastric cancer, which is dominated by genetic genes. This kind of cancer usually has nothing to do with living environment and dietary conditions, and the incidence of this kind of cancer is usually very intense. Diseases pile up like mountains, and there are usually almost no symptoms before they are discovered. It is best to have a physical examination once a year to avoid such a tragedy. If possible, you can do cancer-causing gene screening and prevent it in advance.
The second type is the most common, and most patients with gastric cancer are related to this reason. This is Helicobacter pylori-associated gastric cancer, which has a lot to do with the usual living and eating habits. If Helicobacter pylori is found, how long will it take to turn into gastric cancer?
According to clinical research, patients with intestinal gastric cancer need to go through four stages from Helicobacter pylori infection to final gastric cancer, which takes more than 40 years, and each step can be intervened to prevent cancer. These four stages are superficial gastritis in the first stage, atrophic gastritis in the second stage, intestinal metaplasia in the third stage and abnormal hyperplasia in the fourth stage. At this time, it is the stage of gastric cancer. The most important thing is to intervene in the first step, cooperate with the doctor's actions, eat more fruits and vegetables, and eat less pickled barbecue food. For ordinary people, the family has a clear helicobacter pylori infection, and the C 14 breath test is checked regularly. Positive patients, if gastroscopy found gastric polyps, gastric ulcer, atrophic gastritis and other lesions, timely eradication of Helicobacter pylori treatment.
