Most cancers detected at an early stage are curable

1.Why is the current cure rate of cancer very low? At present, the national average cure rate of cancer is only about 10%. The reason is that cancer patients are mostly in advanced stage when they are diagnosed, and the cancer cells have metastasized extensively, so it is difficult to cure them. 2.What is the key to improve the cure rate of cancer? Experts at home and abroad agree that the key to improve the cure rate of cancer lies in early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment (three early stages). First of all, it lies in early detection, which depends on the improvement of medical personnel and public awareness of cancer prevention and fight against cancer. The experience of cancer prevention in China shows that the cancer incidence rate has been reduced and the cure rate has been improved after the “three early stages” have been carried out in areas with high cancer incidence. 3.How to detect cancer at an early stage? For example, liver cancer has about 2 years from the onset to the late stage, but the symptoms appear in the last half year, so it is too late to be diagnosed at that time. AFP can detect about 60% of liver cancer, but 40% of people are still missed; if combined with ultrasound examination, the detection rate of liver cancer can be further improved; for some cancers, there is no simple, sensitive and reliable examination method. Even for people with high risk of liver cancer, the timing is often delayed due to the lack of financial ability, vigilance and the lack of testing level and experience in primary hospitals. Therefore, new detection methods should be developed in view of the actual situation of China’s extensive land, large population and low economic level. In the past decade or so, many medical researchers have explored the use of Chinese medicine and biological holography for early detection of cancer, and have achieved promising results; the accuracy rate of verification in cancer patients is around 80%, and the results of our pre-test are also at this level; although this percentage is lower for early cancer patients, however, it means a chance of survival for every patient who is detected early; also because these methods are non-invasive, simple, Also, because these methods are non-invasive, simple, effective and inexpensive, and because they have been used individually in the past, there is still room for development. In our current research, in addition to the integrated application of Chinese medicine and biological holography to improve the early detection rate, we also apply modern science and technology: cancer genetic counseling, molecular and cytogenetic techniques, and backed by the strong clinical research and treatment of our hospital and institute, we can definitely bring more health opportunities for the patients. 4.What is the high-risk group of cancer? The economical and effective way to detect cancer at an early stage is to conduct screening of cancer high-risk groups. After long-term research, the following criteria have been established for several common cancers: Liver cancer: (1) history of hepatitis for more than 10 years; (2) positive hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBSAg); (3) age 30-59 years old, especially for men; (4) family history of liver cancer; (5) low positive AFP (AFP≥50μg/L). AFP or ultrasound can be checked every six months if only two items are met, while multiple items should be checked every 3-4 months. Esophageal cancer: People over 30 years old with the following conditions are at high risk; (1) having digestive symptoms (including delayed swallowing of food, pain and foreign body sensation in the esophagus); (2) having a family history of esophageal cancer; (3) having esophagitis or severe hyperplasia of esophageal mucosal epithelium; (4) having unexplained positive occult blood test in the esophagus or stomach; (5) smoking and drinking a lot of alcohol; (6) consuming pickles, moldy food and (7) Less consumption of fresh vegetables and fruits. Screening methods: (1) esophageal lancet cytology; (2) fiberoptic esophagoscopy; (3) upper gastrointestinal barium permeation, etc. Gastric cancer: (1) age 40 years or older, history of chronic gastric disease or recent indigestion; (2) gastrointestinal anastomosis more than 10 years; (3) atrophic gastritis, intestinal epithelial hyperplasia, abnormal hyperplasia of gastric mucosa; (4) preference for high salt, pickled and smoked products. (4) High salt, pickled and smoked products, heavy smoking and alcohol consumption with little fresh fruits and vegetables; (5) Mental trauma and depression; (6) Family history of gastric and esophageal cancer. Screening methods: (1) fecal occult blood; (2) gastroscopic biopsy; (3) barium X-ray, etc. Lung cancer: (1) age 40-45 years or older; (2) smoking more than 1 pack per day for more than 20 years, or up to 20 packs per year; (3) coughing and chest pain for more than one month; (4) family history of lung cancer; (5) occupations with high incidence of lung cancer; (6) chronic lung disease. If you have three of the above conditions, you are a high-risk group. Screening methods: (1) X-ray examination; (2) sputum cancer cell examination, etc. 5.What is the efficacy of early detection of cancer? At present, the five-year survival rate of cancer patients is about 10%, and for fast developing liver cancer, it is only 5%, and most of them die within 3-6 months. Most of the liver cancers detected in general are in early stage, and about half of them can be radically treated by surgery, and their five-year survival rate is as high as 82-100%, and lung cancer is as high as 60-80%, which shows that early detection of cancer is not incurable.
