Sisters, you really need to start paying attention to the seriousness of breast cancer!
According to the latest data released by WHO's International Agency for Research on Cancer, there were 2.26 million new cases of breast cancer worldwide in 2020, surpassing the 2.2 million cases of lung cancer. Breast cancer has overtaken lung cancer as the number one cancer in the world.
In mainland China, there are about 420,000 new cases of breast cancer every year, and the age of onset is earlier than that in Western countries, with a peak incidence of 45-55 years old.
Previously, lung cancer has always been the most prevalent cancer in the world, and the latest data in 2020 shows that the number of new cases of breast cancer has reached 2.26 million, and lung cancer is 2.2 million, and breast cancer has officially replaced lung cancer as the world's largest cancer.
The top 10 cancers in the world are: breast cancer (2.26 million), lung cancer (2.2 million), colorectal cancer (1.93 million), prostate cancer (1.41 million), gastric cancer (1.09 million), liver cancer (910,000), cervical cancer (600,000), esophageal cancer (600,000), thyroid cancer (590,000), and bladder cancer (570,000), accounting for 63% of the total number of new cancers.
breast cancer
Breast cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in women, accounting for 7-10% of all malignant tumors in the body, and its incidence is often related to genetics, as well as between the ages of 40 and 60, and the incidence is higher in women before and after menopause. Interestingly, men are also affected, but rarely, with only about 1-2% of breast patients being men.
Causes
Heredity: 10%-15% of breast cancer patients have a family history, and first-degree relatives have breast cancer patients, and their family members are often high-risk groups.
Diet and obesity: epidemiological studies have shown a clear relationship between fat intake and breast cancer mortality, especially in postmenopausal women
Hormone secretion disorder: mainly refers to the secretion disorder of estrogen. In women with a high incidence of breast cancer at the age of 40~60 years old, this age is the period when women's estrogen secretion is imbalanced and estrogen levels are high. Due to the increased secretion of estrogen in the body, this can lead to excessive proliferation of breast duct epithelial cells and cause cancer.
Another predisposing factor is the age of first pregnancy, and the risk of breast cancer increases gradually with the postponement of the age of primiparity, and the risk of primiparity after the age of 35 is higher than that of people without a history of childbearing.
Precautionary measures
1. Regular physical examination
Regular check-ups are the most effective way to screen for diseases. If you have a blood relative with breast cancer, it is important to start regular breast cancer screening as early as possible.
2. Regularity of life
Usually have a regular schedule and try to avoid staying up late. In terms of dietary choices, we should eat less foods with high hormone levels, such as KFC, McDonald's, fried chicken, etc., especially for elderly people who tend to have excessive superstitions about health products, which is to pay attention to the choice of health products.
3. Keep a good mood
We all know that women play a lot of roles in society, which means that women's social pressure is very high, we must pay attention to relieving pressure, keep our mood happy, and don't always worry and think too much.
