In 2007, "I don't care about how long it lasts, I only care about what I once had", Zhu Jiading, a 53-year-old advertising star, died of bowel cancer.
In 2017, he founded "Today's Statement", and former CCTV host Xiao Xiaolin died of bowel cancer in the United States at the age of 55.
In 2019, teaching people to maintain their health but suffering from bowel cancer died prematurely, and the life of Tai Chi expert Mei Mosheng stopped at the age of 59.
......
It turns out that so many celebrities we are familiar with have passed away because of bowel cancer, in fact, bowel cancer is not far away from us, the ancients cloud fifty and know the destiny, after the age of 50, the second half of life has just begun, but 50 years old is also a watershed for bowel cancer.
First, 50 years old is a hurdle, bowel cancer is high
According to the statistics of the World Health Organization, there were 1.93 million new cases of colorectal cancer in the world in 2020, of which 555,000 cases originated in China, and colorectal cancer ranked second in the incidence of tumors in China, and the mortality rate ranked fifth among all tumors.
Statistical data show that the incidence and mortality of colorectal cancer increase with age. The incidence of all age groups under the age of 25 is less than 1/100,000, but the incidence and mortality rates increase rapidly after the age of 50 and reach a peak after the age of 80 to 84.
In fact, bowel cancer is a "fool's cancer", in the eyes of many doctors, it can even become the world's second (through screening) disappeared cancer, before the occurrence of bowel cancer, we have a lot of opportunities to nip it in the bud, but many people are too careless, dragged out of the bowel cancer.
Second, many people's bowel cancer is dragged out
1, small illness dragging no matter
Bowel cancer will not appear out of thin air, And Chao Shuaiheng of the Digestive Endoscopy Center of Xuchang Central Hospital in Henan Province said that 80% to 95% of bowel cancer is developed from adenomatous polyps. When an adenoma appears in the intestine, the body hardly has symptoms of discomfort. When there are obvious symptoms such as wasting, anemia, blood in the stool, abdominal pain, and lumps, it is often advanced or advanced.
It takes 5 years to develop from a normal colonic mucosa to an adenoma and 10 years to develop invasive carcinoma. In the process of development, the timely removal of polyps can prevent it from gradually developing into cancer, and many people miss the best time to intervene, so that small diseases are dragged into major diseases.
2, dragging unwilling to do colonoscopy
According to the Survey on the Diagnosis and Treatment Status of Patients with Advanced Colorectal Cancer in China, 64% of patients are completely unaware of the risk factors for colorectal cancer, and 85% of patients do not understand the knowledge of early screening of colorectal cancer. 97% of patients have never had colonoscopy screening, and about 86.5% of them do not know that colonoscopy needs to be done regularly. Inaccurate perceptions of colonoscopic screening have led many people to check only when symptoms are obvious.
This has led to only 17% of the early incidence of bowel cancer in China, and 83% of patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer are already in the middle and advanced stages of colorectal cancer.
If you want to prevent the occurrence of bowel cancer, in addition to having a correct understanding of it. In daily life, you also need to maintain healthy habits, these habits are done correctly, you can make cancer far away from you!
Third, over 50 years old do not want to get cancer, quickly correct these habits
1. Avoid medical examinations
Most people are very resistant to colonoscopy and will never go unless they have to. This is a very wrong approach! Colonoscopy can be screened in time to find abnormalities in the intestine, significantly reducing the incidence and mortality of bowel cancer.
It is recommended that people over the age of 45, even if they do not have any physical discomfort symptoms, need to undergo an annual stool occult blood test and a colonoscopy screening once every 10 years, and those with high-risk factors also need to adjust the screening frequency according to their own situation.
2, no meat is not happy, love to eat fat meat
The occurrence of bowel cancer and daily poor eating habits are inseparable from each other, long-term intake of a large number of red meat, high protein and high-fat foods, will lead to slower peristalsis of the gastrointestinal tract, easy to lead to constipation. In this case, the contact time between the intestine and harmful substances will be greatly prolonged, which can easily induce colon cancer.
3, often sedentary, do not like sports
Nowadays, many young people are sedentary and lack of exercise for a long time, and long-term maintenance of such a state of life will lead to slower intestinal peristalsis, and harmful components in feces will stay in the colon and stimulate the gastric mucosa for a long time. And the blood circulation speed in the sedentary population will also become slower, in this case, the immune function barrier of the intestine will also decrease, which will increase the risk of bowel cancer.
4. Long-term smoking and drinking
I believe that everyone understands the harm of smoking to the body, in fact, alcohol is the same. After alcohol enters the body, it will stimulate the expansion of blood vessels in the digestive tract, and will also cause the barrier of the mucosa of the digestive tract to be destroyed, so that the amount of carcinogens absorbed by the intestine increases, significantly increasing the risk of cancer.
5. Often stay up late and lack of sleep
Lack of sleep can lead to endocrine system disorders, and the organs in the body do not get enough rest, which will cause a decrease in immunity, resulting in an increased risk of cell mutations, and the risk of cancer will also increase.
There is a big link between the occurrence of bowel cancer and daily bad habits, and it is important to maintain good habits to prevent it. In addition, it is also necessary to pay attention to early screening, the difficulty and prognosis of early and late stages of bowel cancer are very different, even if it is unfortunate to have cancer, it is necessary to achieve early detection and early treatment.
