On the morning of July 14, I had my usual visit with Dr. Zhang. A female patient accompanied by her family came to the clinic with symptoms of swelling and pain in her right lower limb for more than one month. She had already undergone relevant examinations in an outside hospital and a huge mass in the pelvis was found, as well as a mass in the left upper lung, and the cause of the swelling in the right lower limb was considered to be related to the compression of the mass, resulting in impaired venous return. After detailed medical history, we learned that the patient was diagnosed with cervical cancer as early as 2002, but at that time, the patient was not aware of it, and her family thought that the condition was not serious, so they did not tell the patient the real situation, nor did they choose to continue the treatment, and just did a cervical conization. After 9 years, the tumor metastasized, causing the patient to experience discomfort before she went back to the hospital for treatment. The patient was quite young, only 43 years old. What was even more irritating was that this time the patient and his family also wanted conservative treatment and wanted to reduce the swelling of the patient’s right lower limb by taking Chinese medicine alone. Zhang advised him carefully and patiently and asked the patient to be hospitalized for chemotherapy with a view to prolonging life and improving the patient’s quality of life. The patient and his family said they wanted to go home and discuss before deciding. Zhang Lao had no choice but to prescribe an allopathic treatment first, instructed the patient to be sure to undergo chemotherapy, and asked the patient to take down my phone number. After the patient left, Dr. Zhang said, as an oncologist, we must pay attention to tell patients the necessity of early treatment of tumors, and tell them not to wait until the tumor grows and various complications appear before starting treatment, then it will be too late and miss the best period of treatment. It should also be explained that tumor treatment is a long-term work, not a matter of one month or two months, and it is important to insist on regular review and regular medication, which is an important condition to obtain a long survival period. Cervical cancer is one of the common malignant tumors of female reproductive organs, and its incidence rate is 72.4%; ~93.1%; of malignant tumors of female reproductive organs. Although the incidence rate is high, with the improvement of cervical smear technology in recent years, the early diagnosis rate of cervical cancer has been significantly improved. After reasonable treatment, the 5-year survival rate of early-stage cervical cancer patients can reach 95%; ~100%;. Late stage patients can also significantly improve their quality of life and extend their survival time appropriately after standardized treatment. It is really painful to think that this female patient, who was diagnosed with cervical cancer as early as 9 years ago, did not do standardized anti-tumor treatment and regular review at that time due to the limitation of cognitive level, which led to the recurrence and metastasis of tumor today. After one cycle of chemotherapy, the patient’s symptoms improved significantly and the tumor markers decreased significantly, and she told me that chemotherapy was not as unpleasant as she imagined. I quickly reassured the patient and told her and her family about the necessity and hope of continuing the treatment, and both the patient and her family said they would cooperate with the treatment and strive for better results. From the early treatment of tumor, I also associated with the prevention of tumor through various measures. In Chinese medicine, it has long been emphasized that “prevention before illness and prevention after illness”. It is mentioned in “The Essentials of the Golden Horoscope” that “those who treat the undiseased, when they see the disease of the liver, know that the liver transmits the spleen, they should first strengthen the spleen, and in the four seasons when the spleen is strong and free from evil, they should not supplement it; the Chinese workers do not know its transmission, when they see the disease of the liver, they do not solve the actual spleen, but only treat the liver. That is to emphasize the importance of “prevention before illness”. Epidemiological surveys show that the occurrence of cervical cancer is related to factors such as early marriage, premature birth, multiple births, sexual disorders, viral and fungal infections; smoking is also a risk factor for cervical cancer, and there is a positive correlation between the amount of smoking and the risk of cervical cancer; meanwhile, long-term oral contraceptive use is also a risk factor for the high incidence of cervical cancer. In recent years, due to the great progress of the national family planning policy and the change of people’s awareness level, early marriage, premature births and multiple births have become history in most areas of the country. However, with the development of society and the opening up of people’s mindset, sexual disorders and a large number of sexual partners have become a reality, which has led to an increase in the incidence of various viral and fungal infections, especially the increase in the rate of herpes virus infection, which is obviously related to the increase in the incidence of cervical cancer; due to sexual disorders and an increase in the number of sexual partners, the frequency of women taking contraceptive drugs has increased. At the same time, there is also a trend of increasing smoking rate among women. All of the above factors may lead to the soaring incidence of cervical cancer year by year. Therefore, as medical workers, we have the obligation to promote and teach, and should inform women to abandon unreasonable lifestyles and care for their health! We should also educate adult women to have regular gynecological checkups and strive to detect problems and treat them as early as possible so as not to delay the disease and cause irreversible consequences.
