Most people know that tumors are divided into two categories, one is benign tumors and the other is malignant tumors. Benign tumors refer to the abnormal proliferation of cells in certain tissues in the body, which is expansive growth, like blowing up a balloon-like gradual expansion and relatively slow growth. Due to the increasing size of the tumor, it can squeeze the surrounding tissues, but it does not invade the adjacent normal tissues, and the tumor is mostly spherical and nodular. The tumor is mostly spherical and nodular, and often forms an envelope around it, so it is clearly demarcated from the normal tissues, and can be moved by touching and pushing, and can be easily resected and not metastasized during surgery. On the other hand, malignant tumors, commonly known as “cancer”, can occur in any part of the human body, from internal organs to the surface of the body, from soft tissue to bone. Cancer can occur at any age. Generally speaking, as the age increases, the chance of cancer also increases, before the age of 30, leukemia and malignant lymphoma are the main cases, and after the age of 30, lung cancer, esophageal cancer, gastric cancer, liver cancer, breast cancer, cervical cancer, and colon cancer are the most common cases. In recent years, there is a trend of younger age of cancer patients. Young people with cancer have a relatively high degree of malignancy and poor prognosis.” Downtown Medical Group Ma Xuezhen, vice president, said. Cancer is preventable and curable Every person has the possibility of cancer, but why living in the same environment, some people suddenly developed cancer, while others do not, which has a close connection with people’s lifestyle, temperament, character, dietary habits, genetics, etc. It is not difficult to see the main causes of cancer. It is not difficult to see that about 60% to 80% of cancer patients are man-made” through the above major causes. Therefore, reducing or eliminating these human factors can prevent 60% to 80% of cancers. Ma Xuezhen, vice president of Qingdao Center Medical Group, introduced why cancer is preventable and curable? It needs to start from the following aspects. Firstly, cancer is a lifestyle disease, and there are four kinds of unhealthy lifestyles: 1. irrational diet; 2. smoking; 3. psychological tension and excessive pressure; 4. lack of exercise. It is the humans themselves who cause the rise 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 cancer, therefore, people should develop good living habits, pay attention to Dietary rules, meat and vegetable, vegetarian diet; enhance physical fitness, and insist on moderate exercise every day; be open-minded, relaxed and indifferent to fame and fortune; and live a regular life. In short, people are required to do in their daily lives, “movement, static, section, law” four words. Move: is to insist on a moderate amount of exercise every day, in order to enhance physical fitness, prevention of disease; static: that is to be open-minded, calm in dealing with things, not angry; section: that is to be a reasonable diet, food and drink; law: that is to be combined with work and rest, life is regular. Early diagnosis and treatment is the key. Medical experts believe that cancer is preventable and curable. But how to prevent and cure, most people do not understand. “First of all, we should pay attention to the principles of three aspects in the prevention and treatment of cancer, one is that 1/3 of malignant tumors can be prevented through good living and working habits; two is that 1/3 of malignant tumors can be cured through early detection, and the third is that 1/3 of the middle- and late-stage tumors can be treated reasonably, which can improve the quality of life and prolong the lifespan. Therefore, early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment are the keys to cure. Clinical treatment of tumors adopts the policy of “prevention as the mainstay, combining prevention and treatment, and insisting on early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment”. Recent statistics from the World Health Organization show that the cure rate of cancer patients can reach 80% if they are detected at an early stage.” Qingdao Center Medical Group vice president Ma Xuezhen said. In the interview is the central medical group tumor prevention and treatment center director Zhang Xiaotao introduced, years of clinical experience shows that psychotherapy with drug treatment, will play a better effect, so cancer patients and their families should actively cooperate with the doctor, together to create a good therapeutic environment, and appropriate to participate in some of the physical and mental health of the activities, so that the body to return to health as soon as possible. As early as 2000 years ago, the Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine (HUNDI NEIJING) has linked the causes of diseases with psychological and social factors, reflecting the view that the mind and body should be treated together. According to the Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine, a good healer must first heal his heart and then his body. This pioneered the development of mind-body medicine. In China’s traditional medical theory, early began to focus on the prevention of disease. Suwen? The four qi and god theory” said: “the saint does not treat the disease has not yet disease, do not treat has not been chaotic treatment has not been chaotic …… Fu disease has become after the treatment, such as thirst and penetrate the well, bucket and casting cones, is not also late!” Later medical practitioners inherited and developed this idea, forming the principle of “preventing the disease before it occurs, and preventing the disease before it changes”. Therefore, only if we understand the causes of cancer, we can do effective prevention, only if we understand the diagnosis and development process of cancer, and make good psychological preparation, patients can reduce panic and set up confidence to overcome the disease.
