Introduction: On February 2, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) under the World Health Organization (WHO) released a shocking study.
According to **, by 2050, the number of confirmed cancer cases in the world will climb to 35 million, an increase of 77% compared with 20 million cases in 2022, which is undoubtedly a wake-up call to the world.
The research institute conducted an in-depth study of 36 types of cancer in 185 countries around the world, and lung cancer accounted for 12.5 million cases of confirmed cancer cases in the world in 20224% topped the list, becoming the number one killer of threats to human health.
This is followed by breast cancer, colorectal cancer, prostate cancer and stomach cancer in women, and even more sadly, lung cancer accounts for 1.8 million deaths, accounting for 19% of cancer deaths.
There are also significant differences in the incidence of breast cancer in different HDI countries. In countries with a high HDI, 1 in 12 women suffer from breast cancer; In countries with a low HDI, the ratio is one for every 27 women.
In terms of mortality, the former is one death per 71 patients, while the latter is one death per 48 patients.
As a malignant disease, cancer poses a huge threat to people's health, and many patients will actively seek ** in the early stage, hoping to seize the last chance to save their health.
However, when the disease enters the middle and advanced stages, many patients will fall into hesitation and confusion. They start thinking: should they accept **? If you don't accept it, what will be the consequences?
How do cancer cells "kill" step by step? This is a deeply troubling question because it touches on one of the greatest human fears – cancer, however, understanding how cancer cells destroy our bodies step by step, is key to preventing and ** cancer.
First of all, we need to understand that cancer cells do not form overnight, they are mutated from normal cells in our body, and these mutated cells grow and spread uncontrollably, eventually forming tumors.
This process, which can take years or even decades, is a process in which cancer cells continuously absorb nutrients from our bodies and release toxins that cause damage to our bodies.
Once cancer cells form tumors within our body, they begin to destroy our body further. First, tumors absorb large amounts of nutrients, causing our bodies to become weak.
Second, tumors release large amounts of toxins that can damage our immune system, making our body more susceptible to infections and other diseases.
The situation is made worse by the fact that cancer cells can also spread to our other organs and tissues over time, and the spread of cancer cells can cause more organs and tissues to be damaged, further weakening our body, and eventually, cancer cells can cause our body to be unable to sustain life, which can lead to death.
Bad lifestyle habits
Bad lifestyle habits are the primary culprit of cancer targeting young people, staying up late for a long time, eating irregularly, smoking and drinking, etc., so that young people's bodies are gradually eroded, immunity is reduced, and the risk of cancer increases.
Environmental pollution
The pollution of air, water and soil makes us breathe harmful air, drink harmful water and eat harmful food every day, and these pollutants contain a large number of carcinogens, and long-term exposure will increase the risk of cancer.
Excessive stress
The pace of life in modern society is getting faster and faster, and the work pressure and life pressure of young people are also increasing, and long-term excessive stress will put the body in a state of stress, leading to a decrease in immunity and increasing the risk of cancer.
Physical examination is not taken seriously
Many young people think that they are young and strong and do not need to have a physical examination, but in fact, early detection of cancer is very important for **and**, and not paying attention to physical examination often leads to cancer being found at an advanced stage and missing the best time.
In the face of cancer, this is a tangled question. To cure, or not to cure? The answer to this question may be different for everyone.
*There are many ways to treat cancer, but each has its pros and cons, some may prolong life, but also bring great *** while others may be less risky but not very effective.
Therefore, the choice of which method needs to take into account the patient's physical condition, age, condition and other factors.
In addition to the choice of method, the cost is also an issue that cannot be ignored, cancer costs a lot of money, which is a big burden for ordinary families, so when choosing a method, the patient's financial situation and family support also need to be considered.
In addition, psychological factors are also a part of cancer that cannot be ignored, cancer will bring huge psychological pressure to patients, which may affect the effect, so in the process, doctors need to pay attention to the patient's psychological state and provide necessary psychological support.
Infections that are difficult to correct occur
Cancer is a serious disease, and if left untimed**, the condition will continue to worsen and even threaten the patient's life, however, some people may not be able to accept ** for various reasons**, which may lead to some infections that are difficult to correct.
Cancer patients often have a weakened immune system and are susceptible to various diseases, and if left unchecked**, cancer cells will continue to spread, leading to a decline in the function of various organs in the body, further weakening the function of the immune system.
In this way, the patient is more susceptible to various diseases such as pneumonia, heart disease, etc., which can trigger other complications such as high fever, cough, difficulty breathing, etc., making the patient very distressed.
Cachexia occurs
If a person is diagnosed with cancer but chooses not to receive**, they may experience a condition known as cachexia, a complex syndrome that is usually caused by the presence and progression of cancer.
In the case of cachexia, the patient's physical condition may deteriorate rapidly, leading to symptoms such as weight loss, muscle wasting, fatigue, and weakness. In addition, other complications such as infection, pain, and difficulty breathing may occur.
The rate at which cachexia progresses varies from individual to individual and is not necessarily experienced by every cancer patient, but if not carried out**, the cancer may continue to develop and spread to other organs and tissues, further exacerbating the cachexia condition.
The cancer goes away on its own
In the field of cancer, there is a rare phenomenon: some cancers disappear on their own without **, although the incidence of this condition is extremely low, only 1 in 100,000, but the reason behind it is of great interest to scientists.
Ultimately, cancer is caused by genetic mutations, and different cancer types have different genetic traits that may change in some special circumstances, making cancer cells more sensitive to attacks by the immune system and disappear on their own.
However, it is important to recognize that such cases of spontaneous disappearance are only a rare occurrence, and even for advanced patients, the 5-year survival rate of receiving ** is still 5% higher than that of not**5 times from 17% to 93%, which means that ** is crucial for cancer patients.
Causes unbearable pain
If a person is unfortunate enough to develop cancer and he chooses not to accept it, he will face unbearable pain that will not only worsen as the condition worsens, but also gradually spread throughout the body, causing a sharp decline in the patient's quality of life.
The pain caused by cancer is usually very intense and sometimes even unbearable, and this pain can be continuous or intermittent, but in any case, it can cause great pain and suffering to the patient.
As the condition worsens, the pain becomes progressively worse, and patients need to constantly adjust the dosage and method of medication to control the pain.
This statement is actually a misunderstanding. Although the process of cancer may bring some risks and risks, modern medicine has many effective methods and means that can help patients prolong their lives and improve their quality of life.
In fact, many cancer patients can successfully defeat cancer and regain their health through early detection and acceptance of the appropriate **.
*The methods of cancer include surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunization** and other means, and the doctor will formulate a personalized **plan according to the specific situation of the patient.
During the process, the doctor will also closely monitor the patient's physical condition and changes in the condition, and adjust the plan in time to ensure the patient's safety and effectiveness.
Of course, there are certain risks associated with cancer and chemotherapy and radiotherapy, for example, chemotherapy and radiotherapy may cause nausea, vomiting, fatigue and other uncomfortable symptoms, but these symptoms usually disappear gradually after the end of the disease.
For some patients with advanced cancer, the goal may no longer be the disease, but to prolong survival by reducing symptoms and improving quality of life.
Whether cancer can be affected is a complex issue that involves multiple aspects.
First of all, cancer is a complex disease, and its formation and development involve the interaction of multiple factors, so cancer needs to comprehensively consider the specific situation of the patient, including factors such as cancer type, stage, physical condition and age of the patient.
Secondly, there are already some methods of cancer, such as surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and immunity, etc., which can effectively control the development of cancer and even cancer in some cases. For example, some cancers, breast cancers, and lung cancers can be detected and obtained early.
However, despite the continuous improvement of the method, many challenges remain, and drug resistance and metastasis of cancer are one of the main reasons for failure. In addition, some cancers may have no obvious symptoms in the early stages, resulting in patients already at an advanced stage when they are discovered, missing the best time.
In addition, even if the cancer is initially controlled, it does not necessarily mean that it is completely**, some patients may develop**, which usually occurs within a few years of **, so even if the cancer does**, regular follow-up and monitoring are required to ensure that the cancer does not reappear.
Overall, although some progress has been made in the current approach to cancer, whether cancer can be treated depends on the specific situation of the patient and the choice of protocol.
Therefore, it is very important for cancer patients to seek medical attention in a timely manner and receive the advice of a professional doctor. At the same time, maintaining a positive mindset and a healthy lifestyle can also help improve the outcome and quality of life of patients.
Surgery**
For some localized tumors, surgery is the preferred method, through which the tumor can be removed to achieve the best purpose.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is a method of killing cancer cells using chemical drugs, and chemotherapy can be used alone or in combination with surgery or radiation therapy to reduce the number of cancer cells and prevent the tumor from spreading.
Radiation therapy
Radiotherapy is a method of killing cancer cells using high-energy rays, often used as an adjunct after surgery** to kill remaining cancer cells and reduce the likelihood of **.
Targeting**
Targeting is a new type of approach that targets specific proteins or genes on the surface of cancer cells to kill cancer cells more precisely and reduce damage to normal cells.
Immunization**
Immunity** is a method of using the body's immune system to attack tumors by regulating the body's immune system to attack tumor cells more effectively.
