Breast cancer has become the world's largest cancer. The number of people diagnosed with breast diseases every year exceeds 2 million worldwide, and one person is diagnosed every 26 seconds. The average age of onset among Chinese women is 10 years earlier than that of the West. The cure rate of early detection of breast cancer in can reach 90%. The most effective way to fight breast cancer is to conduct early and regularly screening, and this concept has not yet been widely popular in China.
html October is the International Breast Cancer Prevention and Treatment Month. Recently, the first breast medical imaging public art exhibition and theme salon "Breast Monologue" jointly organized by United Picture Medical and the country's first breast disease prevention and treatment expert alliance - Crescent Alliance, and the industry's first breast medical imaging public art exhibition and theme salon, led by Fudan University Affiliated Cancer Hospital , was held in DEST GALLERY, a Shanghai Private Collection Art Museum of Centennial Sikh Church."In this exhibition, we hope to take care of the unique female life individuals and special life experiences from the depths of public consciousness and from the source of the disease, convey the concepts of early prevention, early detection and early treatment to the public, gather forces from all parties, and promote early screening of breast cancer to become a social consensus." As the curator of this public welfare art exhibition, Yu Yeheng, senior vice president of Lianying Medical and president of the Design Innovation Center of Brand and Market Strategy Center, said that in the high-end medical equipment industry, the business of Lianying Medical is engaged in is to integrate science, engineering and medicine, serve clinical services in the form of products, and ultimately serve human life, health and well-being. "In the process of fighting the disease side by side with clinicians, we increasingly feel that is equally crucial and is the public's awareness of health prevention. If is achieved early diagnosis and early treatment, the pain of many individuals and families can be completely avoided."
This public welfare art exhibition takes the development and growth of female individual lives as a bright line, focusing on important moments in women's lives related to strong breast care, telling about women's humanistic issues, arousing the public's awareness of breast care, and improving the quality of life of female groups. Fudan University Affiliated Cancer Hospital and the Breast Crescent Alliance provide strong professional support for the art exhibition, bringing real breast perspective images into the public's vision. "The public welfare exhibition uses three-dimensional tomography technology to observe the breasts from a new perspective: the size of a palm has billions of breast ducts and . In the exhibition, it is observed with close observation of its internal structure and shape. It is healthy, beautiful, or twilight, and fighting against diseases. No matter which one is full of the power of life." Yu Yeheng said.
Theme salon of the day invited disease fighters, diagnosis and treatment experts, and psychologists to tell vivid individual stories and share popular science, new knowledge and power.
"Worldwide, breast cancer ranks first among women's malignant tumors in the incidence and mortality rate. However, breast cancer is one of the few malignant tumors that can reduce mortality through screening, and early screening and early diagnosis are the key. " Peng Weijun, director of the Imaging Center of the Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Fudan University and head of the Breast Science Group of the 15th/16th Committee of the Radiology Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, said that this public welfare activity has brought useful knowledge and popular science in the form of combining art and humanities, aroused the awareness of early screening and self-prevention for women. He also hopes that breast prevention and treatment knowledge can spread to thousands of households and benefit more people.
self-media person A Pe recalled her "thrilling" experience. Ah Pei's grandfather and mother both died of cancer. Her mother insisted on fighting cancer for 9 years. "My mother's biggest change is her mentality, from 'I'm all for you' to 'I want to live for myself'. After she got cancer, she did many things she had never thought about before and learned new things. Cancer for her is like the driving force of a new life, redefining herself, and living for herself every day and every second."
In January 2020, Ah Pei took her suspected malignant swelling. The report of the tumor went to see the surgeon, "When the doctor told me that it was possible to have a malignant tumor, I calmly accepted this fact. After I got home, I started reading and studying, and went to the doctor with the mind map . Fortunately, the lump was benign, and I was lucky to pass by breast cancer. I encourage everyone to be a smart patient, look at the disease scientifically and rationally, and pass by the every day."
, Director of the Radiation Diagnosis Department of Fudan University Affiliated Cancer Hospital, said that imaging methods such as breast X-ray are important medical early screening methods that have been proven to reduce mortality. "Our hospital has taken the lead in formulating the China Anti-Cancer Association Chinese Women's Breast Cancer Screening Guidelines, providing different screening methods for different groups of people. I suggest that women over 40 should go to the hospital for breast cancer screening regularly. " She also said that there are only more than a thousand doctors in China who specialize in mammography diagnosis, and there are less than 100 senior doctors, and there are even shortage of grassroots talents. "The original intention of our joint establishment of the 'Cresolution Alliance' is to gather top experts in the field of breast imaging, and then pass on standardized training and quality control of top-level hospitals to the grassroots through multi-level collaboration within the alliance. "
At present, the academic lectures of the Crescent Alliance have been through many stations across the country, and have cooperated with many tertiary hospitals to establish a training center for breast clinical application to provide customized training programs for physicians; the alliance members jointly held national popular science lectures, providing free screening quotas to enhance public awareness.
Yu Xiaoli, deputy director of the Radiotherapy Center of the Cancer Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University, has been in medicine for more than 20 years, and has also protected patients and protected life for more than 20 years. She said that in the treatment of breast cancer, radiotherapy often forms a "combination punch" with surgery and chemotherapy, and plays a key role in the "encirclement and suppression battle" of anti-cancer. "I have treated many patients and asked: Do I want to remove my breasts? It seems that in the public understanding, removal is the only way to cure it. In fact, in reality, many patients can be cured through radiotherapy, endocrine therapy and other means. The development of technology will make it easier to save lives or protect breasts, which is no longer a single choice question, and more patients can achieve physical and mental treatment. "
In addition to physiological treatment, psychological healing is equally important. Yao Qi, associate professor of the School of Psychological and Cognitive Sciences of East China Normal University, provided a group of main psychological response data for breast cancer patients: the incidence of depression is 89.5%, the incidence of helplessness and anxiety is 74.3%-84.1%, and the detection rate of PTSD (Post-Invasive Stress Disorder) exceeds 80%... "Many patients have a great psychological burden after diagnosis or after surgery, but in fact, the body is not perfect, and we should have the final say. We must have the courage to see ourselves, express ourselves, and recognize ourselves. "Yao Qi said that the proportion of breast cancer patients returning to work in my country is still low, and patients urgently need support from their families and society. "Family communication such as listening, telling, clarifying and joint decisions within the family is an adaptation mechanism for cancer patients to deal with stress events; strong colleague support can effectively make up for the shortcomings of employers in the transition period of returning to work. ”
