Tumor is not necessarily cancer “Most citizens know that tumor is divided into two categories, one is benign tumor and the other is malignant tumor. Benign tumor refers to the abnormal proliferation of cells in certain tissues in the body, which grows in an expansive manner, like a balloon, and grows more slowly. As the tumor increases continuously, it can squeeze the surrounding tissues, but does not invade the adjacent normal tissues, and it is mostly spherical and nodular in shape. The tumor is spherical and nodular in shape. It is often surrounded by an envelope, so it is clearly demarcated from normal tissues and can be moved by touching and pushing. Malignant tumors, on the other hand, are commonly known as “cancer”, which is similar in shape to crabs and is very good at infiltrating normal tissues, and can be induced in any part of human body, from internal organs to body surface, from soft tissues to bones, there is no place where cancer is not found. Cancer can affect a wide range of people, men, women and children of all ages. Generally speaking, the chance of cancer increases with age. Before the age of 30, leukemia and malignant lymphoma are the most common types of cancer; after the age of 30, lung cancer, esophageal cancer, stomach cancer, liver cancer, breast cancer, cervical cancer and colon cancer are the most common types. In recent decades, the age of cancer has a tendency to be younger. Young people have relatively high malignancy and poor prognosis.” said Vice President Ma Xuezhen of Downtown Medical Group. Cancer is preventable and treatable. Everyone has the possibility of cancer, but why some people suddenly suffer from cancer while others do not in the same environment is closely related to people’s lifestyle, temperament, eating habits, genetic predisposition and so on. It is easy to see through the above main causes that about 60% to 80% of cancer patients are man-made. Therefore, reducing or eliminating these human factors can prevent 60% to 80% of cancers. In the interview, Ma Xuezhen told the reporter why cancer is preventable and curable. This needs to be said from the following aspects. One is that cancer is a lifestyle disease. Unhealthy lifestyles include the following four: unreasonable diet, smoking, excessive psychological tension and stress, and lack of exercise. It is human beings themselves that lead to the increase of tumor incidence through the destruction of living environment and bad living habits, so the prevention of tumor is especially important. Scientific lifestyle can prevent the occurrence of cancer, therefore, people should develop good living habits, pay attention to the regularity of diet, meat and vegetarian, vegetarian diet; enhance physical fitness, adhere to the appropriate amount of exercise every day; be open-minded, relaxed, indifferent to fame and fortune; and live a regular life. In short, people are required to achieve the four words “movement, stillness, moderation and discipline” in daily life. Move: is to adhere to the appropriate amount of exercise every day to enhance physical fitness and prevent disease; static: is to be open-minded, calm in dealing with things, not angry about troubles; section: is to have a reasonable diet, diet; law: is to combine work and rest, life is regular. Early diagnosis and treatment is the key. Medical experts believe that cancer is preventable and treatable. However, most people do not know how to prevent and cure it. “Firstly, 1/3 of malignant tumors can be prevented through good life and work habits; secondly, 1/3 of malignant tumors can be cured through early detection, and thirdly, 1/3 of mid- and late-stage tumors can improve the quality of life and prolong life through reasonable treatment. Therefore, early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment are the key to cure, and clinical treatment of tumors adopts the policy of “prevention-oriented, combined with prevention and treatment, with emphasis on early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment”. Recent statistics from the World Health Organization show that if cancer patients can be detected early, the cure rate can reach 80%.” Ma Xuezhen said. “Years of clinical experience shows that psychotherapy, together with medication, will have better effects, so cancer patients and their families should actively cooperate with doctors, create a good treatment environment together, and appropriately participate in some activities that are good for physical and mental health, so that the body can recover health as soon as possible.” The Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine, which was written more than 2,000 years ago, already links the causes of disease with psychological and social factors, reflecting the view that the mind and body should be treated together. The Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine states that a good healer must first heal his mind and then his body. This pioneered the mind-body medicine. In China’s traditional medical theory, the focus on prevention of disease began early. Su Wen? The Four Qi Tuning Shen Da Lun said: “The sage does not treat the sick to treat the unwell, not to treat the chaotic to treat the unrest …… the sick has become and then treated, as if thirsty and wear well, bucket and cast cone, is not also late!” Later medical practitioners inherited and carried forward this idea and formed the principle of “prevention before illness and prevention after illness”. Therefore, only by understanding the causes of cancer can we prevent it effectively. Only by understanding the process of cancer treatment and development and being psychologically prepared can patients reduce their panic and build up confidence to overcome the disease.
