The prevention and treatment of cancer has always been a difficult problem to be overcome in the mainland. With the deepening of pathological research, the biological basis of cancer has been revealed, and the clinical understanding of cancer has been further improved.
Li Huifang, 54, who lives in Wuhan, is a worker in an electronics factory. He was generous, his family life was happy, and his family lived in harmony. Li Huifang is very happy every day and is very content with his current life.
However, a sudden bad news disrupted Li Huifang's peaceful life. He suddenly learns that his brother has liver cancer and is raising money for treatment. Hearing this news, Li Huifang's heart seemed to be clenched suddenly, and he immediately discussed it with his wife, and borrowed 50,000 yuan to his younger brother. Although they were not wealthy, it was impossible for him to sit idly by and ignore his own brother. It's just that this news inevitably reminded Li Huifang of the shadow of the past, and their father also died of liver cancer.
Liver cancer is a malignant tumor that occurs in the liver, because the symptoms in the early stage of its disease are relatively insidious, but the development of the disease is very rapid, often the treatment effect of patients is not good, and the clinical survival rate is relatively low, so liver cancer is also known as the king of cancer.
The causes of liver cancer are generally due to viral infection, exposure to undesirable chemicals, etc., and there is also a certain genetic predisposition and familial aggregation. However, one of the factors most closely affecting the incidence of liver cancer is still a viral infection, such as hepatitis B. Studies have found that 80% of patients with liver cancer are infected with hepatitis B virus. Because hepatitis B virus infection will cause chronic inflammation in the liver, over time, it will induce genetic mutations in liver cells, and as the disease progresses, hepatitis B may lead to liver cirrhosis and other organ damage, and eventually it may gradually develop into liver cancer on the basis of liver cirrhosis.
As soon as he heard the news, Li Huifang's brows furrowed, and he immediately went to the hospital to see his younger brother. I saw my younger brother, who was healthy in the past, now lying on the hospital bed and dying. Li Huifang's eyes couldn't help but be wet, and he recalled that his father was sick in bed and skinny. This impression was deeply engraved in his mind.
After going back, Li Huifang couldn't sleep all night. He knew that some cancers were hereditary, first his father and then his younger brother, and whether it would be his turn to be next. Looking at his sleeping wife beside him, Li Huifang's heart jumped violently and fell into deep fear.
Soon after the news of his brother's liver cancer came, Li Huifang learned that his aunt had uterine cancer. Uterine cancer is also known as endometrial cancer. The most common treatment is surgery, and the prognosis for patients in the early stages is better. However, the treatment of patients with advanced cancer is relatively difficult, and the only way to alleviate the pain of patients and improve the quality of life can only be through treatment.
Hearing the news that his relatives were suffering from cancer one after another, Li Huifang's whole person seemed to have aged several years all of a sudden, and a few gray hairs appeared on his sideburns. He couldn't sit still any longer and decided to rush to the hospital immediately for a check-up. Thinking of his wife and children, he felt that this physical examination was indispensable, and if anything abnormal was found, Li Huifang didn't dare to think about it.
The doctor heard about his condition and immediately gave him a comprehensive physical examination. One of the most common items is tumor markers, such as serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), etc., which are usually produced by malignant tumor cells or a reaction produced by the patient's stimulation of cancer cells, which can be used to observe the occurrence and progression of cancer, and are often used to assist in diagnosis.
It didn't take long for Li Huifang's test results to come out. What is surprising is that his inspection results are normal, all indicators are within the standard range, and the big stone in Li Huifang's heart has finally landed. However, a month later, he thought about it at night, and still felt uneasy, what if he had another tumor in his body within this month? The more Li Huifang thought about it, the more he felt that it was necessary to go for another examination, so he got up early the next morning and went to the hospital again.
The chief doctor of the oncology department still had some impressions of him, and couldn't help but be a little puzzled when he saw him coming again, so he asked him why he came to the hospital again to do tumor-related projects. Li Huifang told the doctor about his concerns. The chief doctor couldn't laugh or cry after hearing this, and said to him gently: "Uncle Li, don't worry, I saw your examination results last time, and these 4 traits you have will not be so easy to get cancer!"
The first trait is regular exercise
Scientific studies have shown that exercise can significantly improve the body's immunity. In life, it can often be seen that most of the long-lived elderly people have the habit of loving sports, because life lies in exercise, regular and regular exercise, which helps to promote blood circulation, help the body discharge harmful substances and toxins from the body, and help metabolism.
Maintaining the right weight contributes to good health. Studies have found that obesity is prone to increase the risk of cancer, such as breast cancer and colon cancer. Exercise can cause the pituitary gland of the brain to secrete endorphins, which help improve the responsiveness of the central system and relieve people's negative and depressed emotions. You can keep exercising for half an hour every day, and choose an exercise method that suits you, such as jogging, tai chi, swimming and other items.
The second trait is the regularity of work and rest
Getting enough sleep helps improve the body's responsiveness and immunity. In the case of long-term sleep deprivation, people will become irritable and irritable, and the body's metabolic secretion will be disordered, resulting in a series of health problems.
Scientific studies have shown that sleeping for about 7-8 hours a day, and going to bed after 10 o'clock every night helps to enhance the body's immunity, reduce the probability of cancer onset, and to a certain extent, can also play a role in preventing cancer recurrence and metastasis. When people are in deep sleep, the body repairs itself, regulates the body's endocrine system, repairs damaged cells, and reduces the risk of cancer. Therefore, in daily life, it is necessary to maintain a good work and rest, improve sleep quality, and develop regular work and rest habits.
The third trait is to eat a well-balanced diet
Eating a balanced diet contributes to the improvement of physical fitness. People need to do a lot of mental and physical activities every day, and these activities need to consume energy, and food is an important source of energy for people. Healthy food that helps reduce people's risk of illness and strengthens the body's immunity. Eating fresh vegetables and fruits often helps to supplement vitamin C, minerals, trace elements, etc., and a low-salt and light diet is conducive to the digestion and absorption of the body's spleen and stomach, reducing the risk of people's diseases.
The fourth trait is the absence of bad habits
Smoking and alcohol abuse are listed as high-risk factors for cancer, which will increase the risk of lung cancer, liver cancer, esophageal cancer and other organs, and will also cause the decline of human immunity and increase the probability of various diseases. In addition, maintaining a stable mood and an optimistic attitude can also help reduce the probability of cancer.
All in all, for people with a family history of cancer, regular physical examinations, cancer screening, genetic screening and other items can help rule out the risk. In addition, the above four points are also worth learning from.
