Why is everything normal but it is advanced cancer? Is there something wrong with the testing instrument or the doctor's ability? What other problems? You may have all kinds of random thoughts and speculations, but the fact is that we have too many misunderstandings about physical examinations and are too full of expectations.
often has various physical examination sets now, and many companies also experience employees after a period of time. In fact, these physical examinations are only indicators that are easier to detect in some common diseases. The physical examination for tumors is much more complicated. Targeted examinations and exclusion examinations are needed, and sometimes pathological section examinations are also needed, so don’t expect that routine experience can detect tumor problems early
As people’s living standards improve, they also pay more attention to this aspect. Many test packages add oncology checkup items. Examination of various tumor markers, but so far, there is no evidence that tumor markers can detect tumor patients 100%, especially a nonspecific early tumor. Of course, many examination sets are only routine, which makes it even more impossible to detect early.
Of course, you can contract the luxury physical examination package . Unfortunately, putting aside the economic affordability of the general public, it is not a question. There is currently no evidence that the more examination items, the greater the probability of cancer prevention. Because 90% of early cancers have no symptoms, by the time there are symptoms, these cancer patients have developed to the middle and late stages.
Therefore, screening for cancer is not achieved simply by superimposing physical examination items. It requires oncology specialists to evaluate each person's age, gender, occupation, living habits and other factors, and then conduct targeted examinations.
Under the existing medical resource conditions, this is difficult. But we can also take the initiative to monitor, fully understand the environment we are in and the possible impact of habits on our physical health, and then conduct targeted regular health checks on ourselves with a sense of ownership .
also tells you that those people need to do targeted examinations
1), : Cancer often has family aggregation and genetic susceptibility. People with family history have a higher chance of developing cancer than ordinary people. They must actively carry out regular examinations to prevent cancer once a year.
2. Middle-aged and elderly people: Although cancer occurs in all age groups, the risk of cancer will increase with age. According to the survey, the probability of cancer being caused by 60-year-olds is more than 50 times that of young people around 25 years old, so middle-aged and elderly people are at high risk of cancer and regular anti-cancer physical examinations should be conducted.
3. People who are often exposed to carcinogens: means occupational cancer, including radiation workers (medical workers), chemical factory paint factory workers, nuclear power plants, mining workers, etc. People who are engaged in these occupations must undergo regular cancer prevention examinations.
4. People with bad living habits: Smoking, alcoholism, staying up late, mental depression, excessive fatigue, etc. may all induce cancer. Those who like to eat pickled products, high-salt foods and overnight foods for a long time, and those who eat irregular diets may increase the risk of digestive tract tumors. Among them, smoking or second-hand smoke has been proven to be a high-risk inducing factors for many cancers, and the first to be affected is lung cancer. Lung cancer is the malignant tumor with the highest incidence and mortality rate in my country, accounting for 22.7% of all malignant tumor deaths in my country. Its overall survival rate in 5 years is only about 16%. Clinical data show that low-dose spiral computed tomography of severe smokers can significantly reduce the lung cancer mortality rate of severe smokers aged 55-74.
5. Patients with precancerous lesions: Some cancers may have a certain benign disease before the onset of the disease. If they are not actively treated or are not treated in time, they are at risk of worsening. For example, multiple colon polyposis, ulcerative colitis, chronic atrophic gastritis, , atypical breast hyperplasia, hepatitis B or cirrhosis patients, etc. Active treatment, regular review, and strive to reverse them when the disease is in a benign stage.
So how often do these people check? It is generally recommended to check once a year. Of course, if you are a high-risk group, you need to check it in a shorter time. If you have chronic hepatitis B people, etc.
I would like to emphasize here that if the tumor marker is elevated, is it necessary to be a cancer syndrome? Of course not, so you should also pay attention to it. It does not mean that if the examination marker is elevated, you will get cancer, and it will happen immediately. It must be treated correctly in the day, and you need to do a targeted examination
Anti-cancer physical examination will pay more attention to tumor markers in the blood, that is, chemical substances that reflect the existence of the tumor. Their presence or quantitative change can indicate the nature of the tumor. Once the value of tumor markers in the blood increases, it does mean that there are certain health problems. For example, prostate cancer, liver cancer, etc., they are cancers with strong specificity. The tumor markers will reflect the existence of cancer
. The most accurate and effective way to check cancer is pathological examination. A large part of the causes of abnormal tumor markers in patients who find abnormal tumor markers during physical examinations are caused by non-tumor factors, such as inflammation infection and pregnancy. Therefore, remember that before a certain tumor index is slightly elevated, it is considered to have cancer, and even anti-tumor treatment is performed without clarifying the pathological histological diagnosis.
Finally: Health examination is a process of screening diseases from large to small. After discovering problems, the scope will be narrowed step by step to clarify the disease. Everyone should take a rational look at the physical examination, pay attention to doctor's instructions during the examination, and actively cooperate. Actively inform the doctor about your physical condition, health status, family history, medical history, etc., add targeted physical examinations, and consult the doctor whether further diagnosis and treatment is required based on the physical examination report.
