Recently, a health science popularization anime called " Cervical Cancer and its nemesis" received more than 10 million views on Weibo on the first day of its broadcast, which caused the topic "Who is prone to cervical cancer" has read 340 million times.
How did this popular science anime come about? The reporter went to Fudan University Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital and interviewed the main creator of the animation: Professor Hua Keqin, Secretary of the Party Committee of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University.
[Popularize medical knowledge with animation]
In recent years, the topic of "preventing cervical cancer" has been increasingly concerned by the public. However, many women still have doubts and even misunderstandings about who is prone to cervical cancer, whether HPV infection is equal to cancer, and what projects should be done for screening.
How to better popularize the prevention and treatment of cervical cancer in a way that people can understand and accept easily? Professor Hua Keqin, the leader of the gynecological oncology department of Fudan University Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, and her team have thought hard.
With the support of the Shanghai Science and Technology Commission's Popular Science Project Fund, Hua Keqin's team and Jiusong Health spent a whole year carefully polishing and creating 5 episodes of popular science animation "Cervical Cancer and Its Ant Enemy". In 2 to 3 minutes each episode, they designed a suspenseful plot, which fascinates the knowledge of high-risk factors, preventive measures, early symptoms, and diagnosis and treatment of cervical cancer.
In this anime, Professor Hua Keqin becomes the image of "anti-cancer angel DR.HUA", while cervical cancer and HPV viruses are designed as "big demons" and "little demons". The "big demon" of cervical cancer is raging the world, and the anti-cancer angels fight against the lurking "big demon" of cervical cancer and the HPV "little demon" legion led by them, fighting for women's health as a doctor. The creative form and the design of the topic to the point made this medical popular science comic unexpectedly popular on the Internet.
" The biggest difference between cervical cancer and other cancers is that it is a preventable and treatable . The peak of cervical cancer is after the age of 40, and there is still a trend of younger age in recent years. is popularizing the prevention and treatment of cervical cancer for women of this age. It is necessary to adopt some preaching methods that are different from traditional preaching methods. Therefore, we have tried popular science animations , hoping to use easy-to-understand language and "short, flat, and fast" videos to bring profound and stiff medical knowledge to the use of easy-to-understand language and "short, flat, and fast" videos to bring profound and rigid medical knowledge Tell the public. "Professor Hua Keqin said, "In the fight against cancer, mutual trust between patients and doctors is very important. Doctors do their best to do a good job in popularizing diseases, which is also a way to establish trust between patients."
["HPV Little Demon" is not that scary]
November 18, after the first episode of "Cervical Cancer and Its Nemesis" was broadcast on the Internet, 340 million people read it on Weibo. This has caused the topic: Who is prone to cervical cancer. The "big devil" of cervical cancer in
tablets frankly said: " Those who start sex too early and have multiple or often change sexual partners are our best prey. Those who smoke and drugs will have poor immunity , and it is easier for us to camp in their bodies. Those who have immune deficiency and take immunosuppressive drugs for a long time , we can always take the opportunity to break through their physical defense. Some people who never face our existence and do not do screening will be shocked when they are fully invaded and are about to reach the end of their lives."
The appearance of the "big devil" is usually accompanied by the "HPV little demon", with more than 200 members of the little demon. Among them, a group of "little demons" led by Type 16 and Type 18 can best summon the big demon king. The transmission channels of "little demons" are diverse, and they can be said to be omnipresent: sexual contact transmission, close contact with pollutants, iatrogenic infections, etc. will be transmitted.
Professor Hua Keqin told reporters that many women are very nervous when talking about HPV infection. After the comic was broadcast, "One of 5 women infected with HPV" has also become a hot topic on Weibo.
In fact, although the HPV infection rate is high for women of childbearing age, it is mostly transient infection and is not that scary.Although there is no specific drug for HPV infection, most people can rely on their own resistance to remove the virus in the body within 2 years. Only a few people will continue to be infected. is usually infected for 30 months and will cause CIN II or above. If it continues to be infected for several years, it will develop into cervical cancer.
Therefore, it is very important to improve one's own resistance and regularly screen. In addition, the HPV vaccine is the top prevention weapon for combating cervical cancer at this stage, and it can prevent the invasion of most high-risk "little demons".
[A lesson that every woman cannot ignore]
The emergence of the "big devil" of cervical cancer usually takes several years to more than ten years, but in the early stage, it showed almost no sign. By the late stage, the devil's tentacles had already reached into other areas. Only by conducting regular screening and preventing problems before they happen can the "big devil" be strangled in the bud.
"As doctors, what we feel most regretful is those patients with advanced cervical cancer. They may miss the best treatment opportunity because they neglected physical examinations." Professor Hua Keqin said, "We hope that through this popular science animation, more women will pay attention to screening and understand the three-stage screening method ."
For young women aged 21 to 29, cytology examination should be performed.
For women aged 30 to 65, in addition to cytology, HPV-DNA tests are also required. If the test results are normal, the screening will be maintained every 1 to 3 years; if the results are abnormal, the screening will be required every six months to one year according to the situation.
If abnormalities are found in the first step above, you must enter the colposcopy of the second step; if the biopsy of the second step is abnormal, you must enter the third step, and perform histopathological examination by cone-cutting the lesion site.
[What to do if you find cervical cancer when you are pregnant]
At present, doctors have many ways to deal with the "big devil" of cervical cancer, but there is a type of cervical cancer patients who are very special and the situation is often very complicated, that is, pregnancy and cervical cancer . Some of them were diagnosed with cervical cancer after pregnancy, while others were diagnosed with cervical cancer, but they still wanted to have children. Such patients need to carefully choose treatment methods.
Professor Hua Keqin told reporters that when encountering patients with pregnancy and cervical cancer, the conventional treatment method is to terminate the pregnancy, perform radical cervical cancer surgery, and then perform relevant auxiliary treatments such as radiotherapy and chemotherapy at different periods, but this means that the patient will never be able to have children again.
Nursing treatment is a difficult treatment method for cervical cancer, which can save pregnant women and fetus at the same time. This treatment requires multidisciplinary consultations such as chemotherapy, gynecology, obstetrics, cervical departments, pathology, anesthesiology, nursing teams, etc. to specifically formulate treatment plans with the least impact on the fetus for patients.
