There are about 14 million newly diagnosed cancer patients in my country every year, among which more than 2/3 have reached the infiltration or metastasis period of , and even after the late stage of and serious complications, they are diagnosed with .
Hidden data survey shows that the more cancer patients live in economically underdeveloped areas, the more likely they are to face a situation that is, they are to be diagnosed!
Take the colorectal cancer in my country, it ranks in the top five in the cancer rankings in my country, and is the second largest malignant digestive tract tumor in China. This cancer is mostly atypical in early stages, and the patient does not even show any abnormalities. Most patients with bowel cancer only seek medical treatment after they experience severe abdominal pain, intestinal obstruction, and other problems.
If the early stage of intestinal cancer can be detected in time and surgery and chemotherapy are actively carried out, the patient's survival rate within five years can even be as high as 90% or above. But the advanced stage of bowel cancer is different, and the patient has basically lost the opportunity for surgery . Even under the malignant consumption of cancer and destruction of , patients cannot even bear the side effects caused by the most basic chemotherapy and chemotherapy.
When watching the intestinal cancer patients die little by little, it is the deepest pain and helplessness in the hearts of the cancer family!
According to the current clinical data, although colorectal cancer is becoming increasingly younger, the incidence of intestinal cancer is mainly concentrated in middle-aged and elderly people. The reason for this is that intestinal cancer does not occur overnight. Among all colorectal cancer patients in my country, 90% of develop from intestinal adenomatous polyps. The process takes 5-10 years!
From adenoma to cancer, it usually goes through four stages: hyperplasia-adenoma polyps-adenoma cancer-invasion and metastasis!
So, from this point of view, intestinal cancer is a disease that can be prevented and discovered early. Many popular science articles focus on the prevention of bowel cancer on improving bad habits and diet.
But in fact, for people at high risk of bowel cancer, the most important thing that cannot be ignored is: anti-cancer screening, which includes people over 40 years old, people who smoke and drink alcohol all year round, people who eat unhealthy diet, people with a family history of bowel cancer and polyps, and people with chronic intestinal diseases (ulcerative enteritis, polyps);
And the best way to screen for bowel cancer is : colonoscopy !
Collection of the endoscopy is one of the methods of examination. Its operation method is that carries a fiber hose with a camera and transports the patient's anus to the intestine. passes through rectum, sigmoid colon , transverse colon and ascending colon , and finally reaches the end of ileum . This examination method can make the clearest . Intuitively see all suspicious lesions on the colorectal mucosa!
In addition, colonoscopy has one of the biggest advantages. After a suspicious lesions are found during the examination, the doctor can force the suspicious tissue and perform the next pathological biopsy. If necessary, can also be directly removed under colonoscopy. Therefore, colonoscopy is also clinically regarded as a golden detection method for early stage colorectal cancer!
As mentioned above, most patients with bowel cancer are concentrated in html over 140 years old, especially in the 40-50 age group. Therefore, it is also recommended that friends over 40 years old should undergo colonoscopy screening regularly regardless of whether they have a family history or disease. If no problems are found in one screening, the next screening time can be appropriately extended.
