April 15-21 is the 28th National Cancer Prevention and Control Awareness Week.
Whenever we talk about cancer, everyone can't help but think of six words---- "early detection, early treatment", so more and more people have begun to pay attention to physical examination, so as to confirm whether they are related to cancer.
Especially for middle-aged friends, it is called: people looking for illness before the age of 40, and finding people after the age of 40.
When it comes to middle age, people are running for family and career, so the body is easily crushed. Therefore, for middle-aged people, special attention should be paid to good health management.
Why do I get a physical examination every year, but I end up with cancer?
Many people insist on annual checkups, and each checkup is normal, but someone eventually finds cancer. Why?
In our eyes, most of these diseases are unexpected, but in fact they are in the process of accumulation of outbreaks.
Cancer cells are very cunning, quietly lurking in the body, and it is difficult to find traces of cancer in ordinary physical examinations.
Once the mutation occurs, and then through continuous division, this process is completely out of control of the body's various tissues and organs, and eventually a malignant tumor will be formed, which is commonly known as cancer.
Having cancer can seriously affect the daily life and physical health of patients, especially for patients with advanced cancer, but the survival rate is relatively low.
And all of this, most cancers in the early stage, do not affect the physiological indicators of the routine physical examination.
In addition, most of the early stages of cancer do not have obvious symptoms, so it is difficult to detect.
Isn't it unnecessary to have a physical examination in this way?
Non also! Non also!
The significance of the physical examination is to measure the overall health level of the individual, basically grasp the physical health status, and timely discover some common chronic diseases, such as diabetes, hypertension and so on.
Usually, routine physical examinations can also look for clues related to cancer, such as Helicobacter pylori, which is a key factor in causing stomach cancer.
As for cancer, it can only be detected through targeted cancer prevention check-ups.
Currently, breast, cervical and colorectal cancer screening is only listed as a cancer screening program worldwide.
For healthy people who meet the screening criteria, cancer prevention checkups can be carried out regularly under the guidance of a doctor to prevent disease.
Although routine physical examinations cannot screen for cancer, they can reduce the risk of cancer to a certain extent, detect chronic diseases, and prevent further deterioration of the disease, so they cannot be ignored.
Treatment is still the best treatment
For cancer, learning to prevent it is quite critical, what methods can be done? How can I reduce my chances of developing cancer?
1. Healthy eating
Cancer has a very big relationship with the occurrence and eating habits. Therefore, it is necessary to develop healthy eating habits in life.

2. Get enough sleep
Sleep is very important for the human body, most people in the case of long-term lack of sleep, the body will be in a state of fatigue, at this time it is easy to have transient ischemia of some organs.
When the intestines and stomach and other organs are in a state of ischemia, it will cause disturbances in organ function, which will cause damage to the organ itself, so if you want to avoid the occurrence of stomach cancer, you must maintain adequate sleep.
3. Keep away from carcinogens
