Why colorectal cancer prefers “food people” ——————————————————————————– http://www. sina.com.cn October 19, 2005 01:03 New Culture Daily Autumn is a period of high incidence of anal and intestinal diseases, which brings great troubles to people’s life, and Professor Fan Enxue, member of Jilin Medical Technology Accident Identification Expert Database, member of Jilin Anti-Cancer Association Colorectal Cancer Professional Committee and general surgery department of the Second Hospital of Jilin University, said that due to the improvement of people’s living standard, the incidence of colorectal cancer is increasing year by year. Colon cancer is the most common malignant tumor of the gastrointestinal tract, including colon cancer and rectal cancer, accounting for about 12% to 15% of the whole body malignant tumors, said Professor Fan. Most of the patients are men above middle age, and there is a trend of youthfulness in recent years. At present, the incidence of colorectal cancer in China is second only to gastric cancer and esophageal cancer, and the cause of incidence is still unclear, generally believed to be related to schistosomiasis and benign adenoma, familial polyposis, high fat, low fiber diet. Don’t miss the best time for treatment Patients suffering from colorectal cancer will feel pain deep in the anus during defecation and have abnormal sensation, difficult defecation, unclean stool, anal drop pain, vague abdominal pain and other sensations, or unknown blood in stool, stool with blood and mucus. The patient’s bowel habits may also change, with frequent diarrhea or constipation, persistent abdominal discomfort, vague pain, and gas and bloating. In addition, systemic symptoms such as emaciation, weakness and anemia will appear. Generally, there are no obvious symptoms in the early stage of colorectal cancer, so it is not easy to attract people’s attention. Prof. Fan reminds us that we should seek medical treatment and have detailed examination in time to avoid delaying the best treatment time if we have the above symptoms. Early detection and treatment is the key to cure colorectal cancer, because once blood in stool appears, most of them are already in the middle and late stage of the disease, which makes the treatment difficult. ”Excess nutrition makes the stomach and intestines unbearable. Professor Fan said that due to the change of diet structure, people often prefer some high-calorie, high-fat and high-protein foods, but they have little fiber intake. If these “excess” nutrition can not be digested, it will stimulate the intestinal wall, causing bowel disorders, and even constipation, fecal accumulation of the situation. Because there are many harmful substances in the feces, if they remain in the body for a long time, it is easy to develop ulcerative colitis. If left untreated for a long time, it will easily lead to the occurrence of colorectal cancer. Reasonable diet is the key to prevention To prevent colorectal cancer, we should first pay attention to various chronic diseases of the intestinal tract, such as chronic colitis, schistosomiasis and dysentery. In addition, since colorectal cancer has a great relationship with “three highs”, we should control the intake of fat, about 60 grams per day, eat more fiber-rich substances, keep the bowel movement smooth, eat more coarse grains, and develop good bowel habits. In addition, people who are usually inactive and often sitting should find opportunities to walk more to enhance the activities of the stomach and intestines and reduce the occurrence of constipation. Professor Fan said that the treatment of colorectal cancer is mainly based on surgical resection, sometimes supplemented by radiation therapy, chemotherapy drug treatment and Chinese medicine treatment according to the condition. At present, the treatment methods for colorectal cancer mainly include: total mesorectal resection, various anal preservation procedures, advanced colorectal cancer treatment, continuous 24-hour chemotherapy with micro-pump, and non-surgical cure for rectal cancer. At the same time, Professor Fan also reminded us that we should not be afraid to seek medical help after getting sick, nor should we listen to some small street advertisements to avoid being cheated.
