World Cancer Day is celebrated on February 4 every year, and the theme of World Cancer Day 2013 is “Do you know about cancer?” It is true that we have a feeling of trembling when we mention cancer, in fact, experts say cancer is not that scary! Let’s get to know cancer again and overcome it together. Let’s get to know “cancer” again] “The one who is brave on the narrow road wins, and cancer is always bullying and fearing.” In reality, many cancer patients die of worries, fears and tosses. In fact, cancer is not an incurable disease, cancer can be prevented and treated. First of all, we should understand cancer correctly. Idea 1: Cancer is a chronic disease Cancer is actually just a chronic disease like hypertension and diabetes, a common disease related to living habits, diet, exercise habits and mood, which occurs along with aging. Cancer is a kind of physiological deviation that is difficult to avoid along with the aging process of the organism. The older we get, the more the cells replicate, and the weakened immune system of the elderly themselves, the higher the probability of deviation. However, since it is a chronic disease, there is no need to be afraid. As long as it is detected and treated early, many cancers can be cured. Concept 2: Cancer is difficult to treat because of late detection Cancer is indeed a relatively difficult disease to treat under the current level of medical research. The reason is that there are no signs and symptoms in the early stage of cancer, and 80% of the patients are already in the late stage when they are found. However, difficult to cure is not the same as incurable. Nowadays, medical technology is advanced and medical research on cancer treatment is also progressing, with various treatment methods such as surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and biological therapy, which greatly increase the chance of cancer being cured. Concept 3: Cancer is a systemic disease Cancer treatment is not a matter of cutting off cancer cells wherever they are found. For example, the majority of breast cancer patients need comprehensive treatment, including surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and endocrine therapy. As a systemic disease, the patient’s mood and state of mind will also directly affect the disease, so cancer treatment requires the cooperation of many aspects. There are ways to prevent cancer] “Fear of cancer is not possible, prevention of cancer is not possible”, one point of prevention is better than one percent of treatment. 1.Good living habits are fundamental to cancer prevention Cancer is a disease closely related to diet, mood, exercise habits and other lifestyle. In life, good living habits, less pickled, smoked, barbecued, fried, moldy food and overnight cabbage and sauerkraut, etc.; quit smoking, no alcohol abuse; adhere to regular physical exercise; eat less high-fat, high-protein, high-calorie food, etc. can effectively prevent cancer. 2.Prevention of lung cancer The first thing to do is to quit smoking. Smoking is the primary risk factor for lung cancer, and there is a theory in the medical field that if you smoke 20 cigarettes a day for 20 years, the total number of cigarettes is greater than 400, you are a high-risk group and need regular medical checkups. At the same time, kitchen fumes and harmful substances in decoration, environmental pollution, hazy weather, PM2.5 overload, etc. are also causes of lung cancer. 3.Preventing liver cancer Preventing hepatitis To prevent liver cancer, we must first prevent hepatitis. In order to prevent hepatitis, we should pay attention to control alcohol consumption, control alcoholic liver and fatty liver in our daily life, not to eat high-fat and high-protein food, and at the same time, we should have regular experience and vaccination. 4.Prevention of breast cancer Women should not be neglected In recent years, breast cancer is becoming younger and it is not surprising that patients within twenty years old. Liu Wei reminds women: frequent abortion, taking contraceptive pills and not breastfeeding after childbirth are the high incidence of breast cancer and should be guided scientifically; underwear with steel ring and shapewear can also induce breast disease and should be worn for no more than 12 hours a day; menopausal women, if they need estrogen supplementation, should follow medical advice to supplement hormones and go to a general hospital for breast examination regularly. The treatment of cancer advocates comprehensive treatment, also called “multi-method/multi-disciplinary comprehensive tumor treatment”, which is based on the patient’s physical and mental condition, the specific location, pathological type, invasion range (disease stage) and development trend of the tumor, combined with changes in the molecular biology of cells, and the planned and rational application of various effective multidisciplinary treatments. In order to achieve the best therapeutic effect with the most appropriate economic cost, and to improve the quality of life of patients to the maximum extent. With the deepening of understanding of tumor pathophysiological behavior and the innovation and improvement of various therapeutic methods, tumor treatment is moving toward a multidisciplinary and comprehensive treatment model Elderly patients with tumor comorbidities need comprehensive treatment Elderly people are a high incidence group of tumors, and for these tumor patients, the tumor treatment methods applicable to ordinary people cannot be adopted alone. Because the overall function of elderly people is declining, they usually have hypertension, coronary heart disease, diabetes and other diseases along with tumor diseases. Sun Qian, director of the special needs ward of Zhengzhou People’s Hospital, said: When treating tumors in the elderly, other diseases should also be effectively controlled. Specialists of various specialties work together to formulate treatment plans in order to enable elderly tumor patients suffering from multiple diseases to receive comprehensive and reasonable treatment. Biological therapy method–immune cells against tumor Biological therapy is to extract immune cells from the patient’s own body or healthy human body, culture and amplify them in the laboratory, and then transfuse them back to the patient to precisely kill tumor cells without affecting healthy cells, also called immunotherapy. Zhengzhou People’s Hospital is the first hospital in the province to carry out immune cell therapy for malignant tumors, and the leader of immune cell therapy in Henan Province. Since 2004 till now, Mei Jia-Turn, director of the Department of Medical Oncology, has led the team to establish a standardized technique of immune cell therapy for malignant tumors. 【Good in Action】 Rehabilitation Stars Rehabilitation Role Models There is such a group of people who meet, chat, sing and dance, and talk to each other about family matters like normal people. It is hard to associate them with cancer, but they have all had a long period of experience in fighting cancer. Facing tumors, they are actively treated; facing life, they are full of hope; they are the winners, they are the stars on the battle line of fighting cancer.
