In the medical field, cancer is regarded as a major disease, which poses a huge threat to human health and life safety.
There are many types of cancer, including lung cancer, stomach cancer, liver cancer, breast cancer, and more, and each cancer has its own unique symptoms and methods. However, due to the complexity and unavoidability of cancer, it is like an unpredictable disaster that can befall us at any time.
1. Different definitions.
A tumour is a lump formed by the growth of abnormal cells in an organ or tissue in the body. Tumors are divided into benign and malignant, benign tumors usually do not spread and metastasize, while malignant tumors have strong ability to infiltrate and metastasize. Cancer, on the other hand, is a malignant tumor, which is a lump formed by the malignant growth of cells that can cause serious damage to the human body.
Second, the reasons for the formation are different.
The causes of tumor formation are complex, including genetics, environment, lifestyle habits and other factors. The causes of cancer are more complex, including chronic inflammation, viral infections, immune deficiencies, and other factors in addition to genetic and environmental factors.
3. The symptoms are different.
The symptoms of a tumour are related to its type and location and usually include symptoms such as a local lump, pain, compression, etc. Symptoms of cancer vary depending on the location and stage, and usually include symptoms such as fever, weight loss, fatigue, and loss of appetite.
Fourth, the method is different.
The most important methods of tumor include surgical resection, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, etc., and the appropriate method is selected according to the type and stage of the tumor. The most important methods for cancer are more complex, and it is necessary to choose the appropriate method according to the type and stage of the cancer and the physical condition of the patient, including surgical resection, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, targeted and other methods.
Clinically, some cancers may be considered "non-fatal", i.e., cancers with relatively mild disease, less difficulty, and a better prognosis. Here are three types of cancer that may be considered non-fatal:
1.Carcinoma: Carcinoma is a relatively common type of cancer, with melanoma being the most common. Melanoma that is detected early and is usually not fatal and has a high rate. In addition, basal cell carcinoma is also a relatively mild type of cancer, with less difficulty and a better prognosis.
2.Thyroid cancer: Thyroid cancer is a slower-growing cancer that is usually not fatal. In the case of early detection and **, the ** rate of thyroid cancer is high. Even at an advanced stage, the effect of thyroid cancer is relatively good, and patients can survive for a long time.
3.Prostate cancer: Prostate cancer is a slower-growing cancer that is usually not fatal. In the case of early detection and **, the ** rate of prostate cancer is high. Even at an advanced stage, the effect of prostate cancer is relatively good, and patients can survive for a long time.
1.Maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is one of the important measures to prevent cancer. Avoid smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, overexertion and long-term irregular sleep schedules. At the same time, it is necessary to maintain a balanced diet, eat more vegetables and fruits, and eat less high-fat, high-calorie and high-salt foods. In addition, proper exercise can also help strengthen the body's immunity and prevent the occurrence of cancer.
2.Prevent infection.
Some viral infections may lead to the development of cancer, so preventing infection is also one of the important measures to prevent cancer. Avoid contact with people with certain viral infections, such as hepatitis B and C. At the same time, it is necessary to pay attention to personal hygiene, wash hands frequently, bathe frequently, change underwear frequently, etc.
3.Avoid exposure to hazardous substances.
Exposure to harmful substances is one of the causes of certain cancers. Therefore, it is necessary to avoid exposure to harmful substances such as radiation, carcinogenic chemicals, etc. In the workplace and at home, it is necessary to pay attention to safe operating procedures and avoid exposure to hazardous substances as much as possible.
4.Regular check-ups.
Regular check-ups are one of the important measures to prevent cancer. Through regular check-ups, signs of cancer can be detected early, and the results and survival rates can be improved in a timely manner.
