Cancer, a disease that is so intimidating, is actually the result of the frantic proliferation of cells in the body. Its roots are intricate, perhaps in our genes, or from the bits and pieces of our daily lives.
1. Friends who are keen to taste hot tea
You know, the more than 80 tea, every bite is quietly scalding the esophagus. The tannins in the tea, like a latent assassin, take the opportunity to lurk at the wound, constantly stimulating the injured esophageal epithelial cells. During this repeated process of trauma, inflammation and repair, the risk of cancer creeps in. Similarly, those who love hot food, hot pot and hot porridge should also be wary of this potential crisis.
2. People who stay up late for a long time
For those night owls, have you ever thought that when night falls, cells are experiencing the most vigorous fission, which is the most vigorous period of DNA repair. However, lack of sleep may cause normal cells to mutate during the fission process, laying the groundwork for the growth of cancer cells. Coupled with insufficient rest, the body's ability to resist disease decreases, making it more difficult to resist those mutated cells. In the long run, the shadow of cancer will gradually approach. And for the sake of refreshment, people who stay up late often choose to smoke, which undoubtedly injects more carcinogens into the body.
Friends who prefer meat
What you may not know is that people who eat pigs, cows, sheep and other livestock meat as a staple food have a 2nd higher risk of bowel cancer than those who occasionally eat meat5 times. The risk of pancreatic cancer also climbs with increased meat intake. In addition, carnivorous people are more likely to fall into the vortex of obesity, and the risk of colon cancer in obese women is twice as high as that of the general population. Women who are particularly obese above the waist are 4-6 times more likely to develop breast cancer. As a result, people who are more than 30% overweight are also potential targets for cancer.
4. Children of cancer patients
Many cancers have a significant genetic predisposition, making your risk of cancer higher than the general population. For example, the children of stomach cancer patients are 4 times more likely to develop cancer than other people. The risk of breast cancer in mothers and daughters has also increased significantly; If the parents suffer from colon cancer, half of the children will often follow in the footsteps; Squamous cell carcinoma of the lung is associated with family history in 38%, and small cell carcinoma of the lung is closely linked to family history, accounting for up to 58%.3%。
5. Both husband and wife suffer from cancer
In life, there is a phenomenon known as "conjugal cancer", which refers to the simultaneous or successive occurrence of cancer by both spouses. The root cause of this phenomenon often lies in a common unhealthy lifestyle, such as overeating, preference for hot food, etc. In addition, cross-infection of pathogens is also a major trigger, such as HPV infection, which may lead to ** cancer and cervical cancer for both husband and wife.
6., people who are used to holding stool and irregular stool
You may not know that there are many harmful substances hidden in the stool, such as hydrogen sulfide, skatin and other carcinogens. Irritation of the intestinal mucosa for a long time undoubtedly increases the chance of cancer.
7. Friends with allergies
People who have asthma and are allergic to certain drugs or chemical agents are more susceptible to cancer than people without allergies. Women with a history of allergies have a 30% higher chance of developing breast cancer than normal people; And men with a history of allergies also have a 41% higher risk of developing prostate cancer than normal people.
8. People with low cholesterol
You may think that lower cholesterol is better, but that's not the case. Although cholesterol is one of the causes of coronary heart disease or stroke, it is also one of the indispensable nutrients of the human body and plays an important role in fighting diseases. People with serum cholesterol less than 19 mg L have a more than 3 times higher risk of colon cancer.
9. Patients with high blood pressure
Studies have shown that the cancer incidence and mortality rate of hypertensive patients is more than twice that of people with normal blood pressure. Although hypertension does not directly cause cancer, there are common mechanisms between the two, such as obesity, alcoholism, smoking, and excessive salt consumption. These factors not only lead to an increase in blood pressure, but may also induce cancer.
10. People with vitamin deficiency
Vitamins play an important role in protecting human health and reducing cancer invasion. People with vitamin A deficiency have a 3-fold increased risk of lung cancer; People with carotene deficiency have an increased risk of stomach cancer35 times, the risk of esophageal cancer and adrenal cancer has also increased significantly; People with vitamin E deficiency are at risk of lip cancer, oral cancer, ** cancer, cervical cancer, stomach cancer, intestinal cancer, lung cancer and other cancers. Therefore, maintaining a reasonable diet and ensuring vitamin intake is essential to prevent cancer.
Nowadays, the shadow of cancer seems to be getting thicker and thicker. As we all know, the early detection of cancer is decisive for it.
However, it is sad that the misdiagnosis rate of cancer in our country is as high as 30%, ruthlessly depriving many patients of precious opportunities.
In the face of this perplexing phenomenon, we can't help but ask: why is it that in today's rapid development of science and technology, the accuracy and advancement of instruments are constantly improving, but it is still difficult to avoid the tragedy of misdiagnosis? Is it a technical bottleneck, or is it human negligence?
Not all tests detect cancer
Cancer screening, despite the use of many cutting-edge technologies such as tumor marker detection, X-ray, CT, MRI and PET, cannot be 100% accurate.
These diagnostic tools, as powerful as they are, can still be missed or misjudged in the fog of cancer.
This uncertainty sometimes makes some patients unknowingly pass by cancer, while others may suffer unnecessary pain due to misdiagnosis. Therefore, I urge everyone to have regular early cancer screening.
The check item is incorrect
The accuracy of cancer screening is undoubtedly crucial. Although most modern cancer diagnostic tools already possess a high level of accuracy, the possibility of misdiagnosis cannot be completely avoided.
Misdiagnosis is like a hidden reef that can stem from a variety of factors, such as improper operation, technical flaws, and even a doctor's lack of knowledge and experience. These factors act as an invisible web that can lead a diagnosis astray.
The cancer is not obvious and the location is hidden
Some cancers hide deep inside the body like cunning foxes, and their symptoms may be as mild as falling leaves, making them difficult to detect.
This insidious cancer, like prey in the fog, is elusive and even more difficult to catch. However, it is precisely such enemies that require us to be vigilant and conduct regular cancer screenings to catch those early signs that may be hiding deep in the body.
Although these signs are subtle, they are like clues in the morning dew, as long as we look for them carefully, with the help of meticulous inspection or specific tests, we can finally unveil their mystery and win a valuable opportunity for the first time.
1. Rectal cancer and hemorrhoids
The misdiagnosis rate of rectal cancer is relatively high because colorectal cancer has similar symptoms to hemorrhoids, which can be confusing. Due to this confusion, many colorectal cancer cases are not detected in time at an early stage and are not detected until the disease progresses to an advanced stage, which poses a great threat to the health of patients. Therefore, we should be vigilant in our daily lives and carefully observe the changes in our bodies. If there is any abnormality such as bleeding in the stool or increased frequency of stool, you should immediately seek medical attention. Whether it's hemorrhoids or colon cancer, it needs to be done in a timely manner** to prevent further deterioration of the condition.
2. Gastric cancer and gastric ulcer
Nowadays, the incidence of stomach diseases is on the rise, and the driving force behind this is negligence in our daily diet. Gastric ulcer, a common stomach disease, is a direct manifestation of the damage to the gastrointestinal mucosa caused by improper diet.
However, many people disagree with this, believing that it can be easily relieved with just a few medications. But it is this contempt for stomach problems that makes the condition of many patients gradually deteriorate, and eventually evolves into stomach cancer.
The early symptoms of gastric cancer and gastric ulcers are very similar, like walkers in the fog, which makes it difficult to distinguish, thus missing the best time and quietly deteriorating the condition to an advanced stage.
3. Breast cancer and fibroadenoma of the breast
Dear female friends, breast cancer is a health hazard that is often misdiagnosed because its symptoms are similar to those of breast fibroadenoma.
They can all cause lumps in the breast area, accompanied by pain and nipple discharge. However, we cannot take these symptoms lightly because the potential threat of breast cancer cannot be ignored.
For the sake of our health, for the integrity of the body, we must pay attention to and seek medical examination in time for early detection and early **. Remember, taking care of your health is the best way to take care of yourself.
Primary prevention, like spring and rain, aims to eliminate the germination of cancer.
It promotes a healthy lifestyle, such as a sensible diet, proper exercise, quitting smoking and limiting alcohol, maintaining inner peace and balance, and getting enough sleep, which are all solid bastions against cancer. In addition, regular check-ups are like a beacon to illuminate potential health hazards and provide timely intervention to build a solid line of defense to reduce the risk of cancer.
Secondary prevention, on the other hand, is like falconry, with a sharp eye focused on the early detection and diagnosis of diseases.
Regular and regular check-ups are the compass at this stage, especially for high-risk groups, as they can detect the signs of the disease in time and block the progression of the disease in a more serious direction. Early measures, like a brave warrior, fight to the death against the disease, so as to improve the success rate and win a precious turning point for life.
As for prevention, it cares for those who are already with cancer.
At this stage, our main goal is to improve the quality of life and prolong the survival time of patients. Comprehensive **, nursing, psychological support and other means, like a warm sun illuminating the dark corners, so that patients can remain strong and optimistic under the haze of cancer, improve their quality of life, dance with the disease, and show the tenacity and unyielding life of life.
