Know how to prevent the cancer and free from regret!
According to the global cancer data of 2020, released by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) of the World Health Organization, China had 4.57 million new cases and 3 million deaths in 2020, ranking No.1 in the world. Lung cancer, colorectal cancer, stomach cancer, breast cancer and liver cancer are the most common cancers in China. According to statistics, one third of cancers can be prevented by keeping good living habits and early screening. "Early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment" might reduce the incidence and mortality of cancer, and save lives.
Cancer is a chronic disease!
Early in 2006, the World Health Organization (WHO) officially declared that cancer is a chronic disease. From the perspective of the pathogenesis of cancer, cancer is the result of long-term accumulation of gene damage and changes of human cells under the long-term action of external factors. It is a multi-factors, multi-stages, complex and progressive processes. It usually takes decades to develop cancer. During the period we have enough time to discover and eliminate the cancer indeed.
Cancer can be prevented!
According to the World Health Organization:
One third of cancers are completely preventable;
One third of cancers can be cured by early detection;
One third of cancer-patients’ lives could be extended, suffering could be reduced and the quality of life could be improved with the existing medical treatments.
Advanced international experience shows that active prevention (such as health education, tobacco and alcohol control, early screening, etc.) and standardized treatment have significant effects on reducing the incidence and mortality of cancer.
Three Levels of Prevention:
Primary prevention is etiological prevention, reducing the damage of external adverse factors;
Secondary prevention is early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment;
Tertiary prevention is to improve the quality of life and prolong survival.
The cancer incidence and mortality have shown a decreasing trend in China, where integrated cancer prevention and control strategies implemented earlier.
Cancer is not contagious, but some carcinogenic factors are!
(1) Cancer is caused by genetic changes in one's own cells and is not contagious.
(2) Some bacteria (such as Helicobacter pylori) and viruses (such as human papillomavirus, hepatitis virus, EB virus, etc.) that related to the occurrence of cancer could be infectious.
(3) Cancer can be prevented by maintaining a healthy lifestyle and vaccination (e.g., hepatitis virus vaccine, hpv vaccine).
Early diagnosis and treatment are the key to improve cancer survival rate!
(1) The therapeutic effect and survival rate of cancer are closely related to cancer stage. The earlier detection, the better therapeutic effect and longer survival period;
(2) Pay attention to the danger signs of cancer, and go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time if the following symptoms occur.
1. Abnormal lump on the surface of the body;
2. The colors of moles and warts get darker or enlarged in a short term;
3. Abnormal sensations, such as choking, pain, etc.；
4. There are persistent ulcers in the skin or mucous membranes；
5. Persistent dyspepsia and loss of appetite；
6, Fecal habits and traits change or with blood;
7. Persistent hoarseness, dry cough, sputum with blood;
8. Abnormal hearing, nosebleeds, headache;
9. Abnormal vaginal bleeding, especially bleeding by contact;
10. Painless hematuria, urination difficulty;
11. Unknown fever, fatigue and progressive weight loss.
Cancer screening recommended!
