Cancer is a popular saying, in medicine is to refer to malignant tumors, many people feel that after being diagnosed with cancer is equivalent to being judged to die, life has begun to count down state, but in fact, with the progress of medical technology today, many cancers can be controlled through corresponding treatment methods, and the quality of life of many patients has also been effectively improved.
What is cancer?
Simply put, cancer is a malignant tumor of epithelial origin, more specifically, it is the body's epithelial cell-derived tissue cells, under the action of various carcinogenic factors, such as environmental pollution, long-term exposure to carcinogenic chemicals, smoking, including first-hand smoke, second-hand smoke and third-hand smoke, long-term chronic inflammation, familial inheritance, viral infections and so on.
New organisms formed by disordered proliferation that lose their normal structure and function can destroy and invade normal tissues, and can be transferred to other tissues and organs throughout the body through blood and lymph.
Cancer can be divided into adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, small cell carcinoma, undifferentiated carcinoma, neuroendocrine carcinoma, etc. according to the location of occurrence, and can be divided into respiratory cancer, gastrointestinal cancer, urinary tract cancer, gynecological cancer, head and neck cancer and so on.
Cancer is a malignant lesion that requires prompt and aggressive treatment once it is diagnosed.
Suffering from these three kinds of cancer is considered a blessing in disguise: reasonable treatment, or being able to live well
Thyroid cancer
The most common thyroid malignancy is thyroid cancer, and very few may have malignant lymphomas and metastases, and thyroid cancer accounts for 1% of systemic malignancies.
In malignant tumors, the prognosis of thyroid cancer is generally good, many thyroid cancers have metastasized, but patients can still survive for more than 10 years.
95% of patients with well-differentiated thyroid cancer can survive for a long time, especially papillary carcinoma, the biological characteristics of which are good and the prognosis is the best, and the prognosis of recessive papillary carcinoma is better, but a small number can also be intermittently transformed into undifferentiated cancer with a very high degree of malignancy;
Therefore, many people also say: Don't treat thyroid cancer too much as "cancer"!
breast cancer
Breast cancer is often called "pink killer", its incidence ranks first in female malignant tumors, male breast cancer is relatively rare, is the breast epithelial cells in a variety of carcinogenic factors, the proliferation of out-of-control phenomenon.
In the early stages of the disease, it is often manifested as breast lumps, nipple discharge, axillary lymphadenopathy and other symptoms, and in the later stages, distant metastasis of cancer cells and multi-organ lesions occur, but with the improvement of medical treatment, breast cancer has become one of the most effective solid tumors.
According to clinical data, breast cancer can be effectively cured, even in the middle of breast cancer, the 5-year survival rate is as high as 80%, if it is early breast cancer, the 5-year survival rate is as high as 90%, and even does not affect life expectancy.
Colorectal cancer
Colorectal cancer is a common malignant tumor, including colon cancer and rectal cancer, early symptoms are not obvious, only feel uncomfortable, indigestion, fecal occult blood, etc., with the development of cancer, symptoms gradually appear, manifested as changes in stool habits, abdominal pain, blood in the stool, abdominal mass, intestinal obstruction, etc., with or without anemia, fever and weight loss and other systemic symptoms.
Stage I bowel cancer patients, the lesion is only limited to the intestinal wall, through surgical treatment and postoperative comprehensive treatment, the five-year survival rate is as high as 95%, most of which do not affect the normal life expectancy.
And middle and advanced bowel cancer (stage III. and IV. patients), lesions penetrate the intestinal wall, lymph nodes or organ metastases, at this time has lost the opportunity for surgery, the need for radiotherapy or chemotherapy and other treatment measures to stabilize the disease, reduce the lesion, and then choose surgical treatment, the cure rate of these patients is very low, the five-year survival rate is less than 10%, most patients can only survive for one year or less, early detection and early treatment is very critical!
Conclusion:
Here it is also recommended that everyone, in the case of conditions, it is recommended to develop a good habit of regular physical examination, so as to ensure the timely detection of the disease, timely control, and improve the survival rate.
