1. Correct understanding of cancer. Cancer is a preventable, sieveable, and treatable chronic disease. Most cancers are the result of long-term accumulation of gene damage and changes in human cells under the long-term action of external factors, which is a multi-factor, multi-stage, complex and gradual process, and it usually takes more than ten to decades to develop from normal cells to cancer cells.
2. Change bad lifestyle. Smoking, alcoholism, obesity, stress, lack of exercise, and unreasonable eating habits are all risk factors for cancer. Quitting smoking and limiting alcohol, balancing diets, moderate exercise, and a comfortable mood can effectively reduce the occurrence of cancer.
3. Pay close attention to carcinogenic factors. Cancer is not contagious, but some bacteria (such as Helicobacter pylori) and viruses (such as human papillomavirus, hepatitis virus, Epstein-Barr virus, etc.) that are closely related to cancer are contagious. The occurrence of cancer can be prevented by maintaining personal hygiene and a healthy lifestyle.
4. Stay away from carcinogens around you. There are many clear carcinogens around us, such as formaldehyde, aflatoxin, nitrite, etc. It is recommended not to eat moldy food and to eat less fried and pickled food.
5. Vaccination to prevent some cancers. HPV vaccine can prevent cervical cancer, oropharyngeal cancer, anal cancer, penile cancer and other cancers, hepatitis B vaccine can prevent hepatitis B virus infection, and hepatitis B is a high risk factor for the development of liver cancer. Vaccination can avoid infection with associated bacteria and viruses, and it is recommended to give it in time as soon as possible.
6. Stay optimistic. A good attitude is a good medicine to prevent and fight cancer, and even all diseases, and a positive attitude will keep you in a normal and reasonable state of life. Learn to be optimistic and perk up. Good at self-consolation, self-liberation. Avoid impatience, rage, or depression.
7. Choose an individualized anti-cancer physical examination. Tertiary prevention can effectively reduce the incidence and mortality of cancer. At present, technical means can detect most common cancers early, such as the use of low-dose spiral CT of the chest can screen lung cancer, ultrasound combined with molybdenum can screen breast cancer, gastrointestinal endoscopy can screen for cancer of the digestive tract and so on. Choosing individualized physical examination items based on individual genetic history, disease history, age, previous examination results, etc. is the key to improving the early diagnosis rate of cancer.
8. Be wary of early symptoms. The treatment effect and survival time of cancer are closely related to the sooner or later cancer is detected. The earlier it is detected, the better the treatment and the longer it lasts. When the body has abnormal lumps, persistent pain, sputum with blood, painless hematuria, stool habits and trait changes or blood, etc., you should go to the hospital in time.
9. Choose a regular hospital for standardized diagnosis and treatment. Standardized treatment is a scientific summary of long-term clinical treatment work, according to the type of cancer and disease stage to decide the comprehensive treatment plan, is the basic guarantee for curing cancer, cancer patients should go to regular hospitals for standardized treatment, do not trust folk remedies or false advertisements, so as not to delay the timing of treatment.
10. Scientific rehabilitation, perseverance. Scientific rehabilitation treatment can effectively improve the survival time and quality of life of patients. Cancer rehabilitation treatment includes two parts: psychological rehabilitation and physiological rehabilitation, which is a necessary continuation and improvement of clinical treatment. Cancer patients should face up to cancer, actively adjust the body's immunity, maintain a good physical and mental state, achieve long-term stability, and "symbiosis" with cancer.
