After being diagnosed, many cancer patients will go through four mental processes: doubt, disbelief, acceptance of reality, and beginning to reflect.
They are helpless about the disease, and while receiving treatment, they are eager to know the cause of their illness.
Is cancer really the god of death drawing cards, and who draws is who is unlucky?
According to a large number of clinical data statistics, the incidence of cancer in the mainland has indeed entered a high incidence period, and the number of newly diagnosed cancer patients has reached nearly 4 million every year, which is equivalent to an average of at least 7 people diagnosed with cancer every minute.
And what is even more frightening is that when the cancer is diagnosed, most patients have reached the middle and advanced stages, and the prognosis effect is worrying!
In fact, the medical community's research on cancer has not stopped, and the reasons for its emergence have been clarified in part.
In essence, cancer is a genetic disease, which is related to cell mutation and malignant proliferation. This is not a game played by death and humans, but is related to the following factors:
1, age: Although many cancer types have gradually shown a trend of rejuvenation, young and middle-aged and even children with cancer is not uncommon, but it can not be denied that the vast majority of cancer patients are still mainly middle-aged and elderly.
A large number of studies have confirmed that the more you age, the more likely you are to develop cancer.
This is related to a number of reasons such as decreased immunity, declining organ function, and cell division. The outbreak of cancer in mainland China is also related to the aging of the population and the increase in average life expectancy;
2. Genetic genes: Cancer clinically shows family aggregation and genetic predisposition, which is closely related to genetic genes.
Cancer heredity can be divided into two categories in the clinic, the first is hereditary carcinogenesis, and the second is genetic predisposition, such as breast cancer, colorectal cancer, gastric cancer, etc., all of which have certain genetic predispositions. People with a family history of cancer, cancer may be significantly higher than others;
3, chronic diseases: Perhaps everyone has heard of long-term illness, but what you don't know is that long-term illness may also become cancer. The emergence of many cancers is related to long-term chronic diseases, pathogen infections and other factors.
For example, hepatitis B and liver cancer, HPV and cervical cancer, atrophic gastritis and stomach cancer, etc., have shown obvious causal relationships in clinical practice.
This is related to factors such as repeated damage to tissue cells, inflammatory aggression, and decreased immunity. The more the disease is not effectively controlled, the higher the rate of cancer in the later stages;
4, dietary effects: bad eating habits can not directly promote cancer, but will increase the possibility of their own cancer. For example, long-term eating hot food, overeating, vomiting and other bad habits will cause repeated damage to the mucous membrane of the digestive tract.
If you eat foods containing carcinogens for a long time, such as smoked barbecues containing benzopyrene, cured and processed meats containing nitrosamines, fried foods containing acryloylamines, and moldy foods containing aflatoxin, they will lead to the accumulation of carcinogens, and cancer may increase;
5, bad habits: bad habits, but also one of the driving forces behind the cancer. For example, long-term sedentary, long-term staying up late, etc., can not only reduce personal immunity, but also disrupt endocrine, but also easy to promote obesity.
Long-term smoking and drinking are also one of the cancerous variables, both of which belong to carcinogens, which can increase the possibility of lung cancer, digestive tract cancer and liver cancer!
In general, cancer is a disease induced by multiple factors such as biology, physiology, and physics.
When we can't change the genetic inheritance, we can only reduce the possibility of cancer through the day after tomorrow, the most important thing is to maintain healthy, regular living and eating habits, and improve the vigilance of cancer in life, and regularly conduct cancer screening.
