What kind of cancer will be the biggest hidden worry for Chinese people in the future?
That should be: "Color cancer"
Colorectal cancer is related to static life, family history, high calorie, high-fat diet . It is also a civilized disease of modern people. In recent years, the prevalence rate in the world has continued to rise. CCTV's "Harming Road " pointed out in the colorectal cancer special program that my country has about 500,000 new colorectal cancer cases every year, ranking third among all malignant tumors.
Research in Cancer, an international authoritative journal of cancer, shows that the proportion of patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer before the age of 50 has increased from 10% to 12%, and the proportion of young patients has also increased rapidly. Therefore, both young and old should pay attention to the prevention and treatment of colorectal cancer.
However, from another perspective, colorectal cancer is also the easiest hidden danger to be detected and eliminated!
Although the incidence of colorectal cancer is high, the prevention and treatment effect is the best. Most of this type of cancer is changed from polyps, and the cancer takes about 5 to 10 years. As long as early screening is done and the formation of malignant tumors can be avoided when it is still a polyp.
Two major symptoms should be paid attention to!
01
Defecation abnormalities
As the name suggests, patients with colorectal cancer will experience abnormalities during bowel movements.
Bloody stool : The stool contains fresh blood. If the stool stays in the intestines for too long, the blood may appear brown or black.
abnormal shape: Due to the compression of polyps and tumors in the intestine, the stool may become thinner or have grooves, and some may also contain mucus.
02
Systemic symptoms
Patients with colorectal cancer may experience low fever and weight loss, mainly because the body is in order to resist tumors. The tumor keeps growing, competing with the body for nutrition, which leads to a rapid decline in the patient's weight.
Some patients may also experience anemia and its related symptoms due to long-term bloody stools, such as dizziness, fatigue, loss of appetite, etc.
Not long ago, the internet celebrity Ajian was diagnosed with colorectal cancer, and it only took a year to get from being sunny and handsome to being skinny... It is necessary to pay attention to the discomfort symptoms! How to effectively screen and prevent
?
In fact, we are only one time away from "get rid of" colorectal cancer colonoscopy ...
colonoscopy can be said to be the nemesis of colorectal cancer. During the colonoscopy, the doctor can directly see the internal situation of the intestine through the visual display screen. More importantly, if intestinal polyps is found during the examination, it can be removed under the colonoscopy and the intestinal cancer is eliminated in the cradle.
from what age to check?
40 years old! We generally recommend that for general risk groups, both men and women, whether they have symptoms or not, they must undergo the first colonoscopy before the age of 40. The high incidence of colorectal cancer in my country is after 55 years old, so 55-15 years = 40 years old; that is to say, at the age of 40, for most people, it is just a polyp, and if you cut it off and check it regularly, you won’t get intestinal cancer.
The following seven high-risk groups need to undergo colonoscopy 5-10 years in advance
In areas with high incidence of colorectal cancer, those over 35 years old, have frequent abdominal pain, diarrhea, anal pain, etc.
Family has a history of colorectal cancer, cholecystectomy, 2 diabetes, , etc.
have bad living habits, such as love High-protein and high-fat food; people who sit for a long time and lack exercise
bloody stools, black stools, mucus in stools, constipation, changes in bowel habits and unformed stools
have undergone colorectal cancer or polypectomy
people who have long-term mental depression and anxiety
Note: For patients who have already developed symptoms, colonoscopy and related examinations will be arranged immediately regardless of age.
