How many people have been killed by 'fake medical examinations'? Every year for physical examinations, many people are still diagnosed with advanced cancer!

There is an anti-cancer documentary "Cancer: The Emperor of All Diseases" in the United States, which has been filmed for several centuries. In the film, pain, despair, courage, these emotions drive people's awareness of cancer. Friends who are interested in documentaries are recommended to take a look.

The most impressive scene is the commemorative list at the end of the film, which shows the producer's family. His mother died of breast cancer at the age of 42. His childhood memory is going from one hospital to another until his mother died at the age of 12.

Cancer is always a heavy topic. With the increase in the number of patients, people gradually realize that cancer is a problem that has to be faced.

I want to talk about this topic today.

one,

The body also sends signals before cancer arrives

Private letter

, told me that her mother-in-law had cancer.

She and her husband are both office workers who leave early and return late. After retirement, my parents-in-law left their hometown to help them take care of their children.

One day, my mother-in-law accidentally mentioned: "I have been menopausal for several years, why does it seem that I have a period again."

Xiao Jun felt that something was not right, so she took leave from her work unit the next day to accompany her mother-in-law to the hospital for an examination.

After doing B-ultrasound and cervical cancer screening, the doctor told her that the old man is basically cancer and should be hospitalized and treated as soon as possible. When the family heard the result, it felt like a death sentence.

After hospitalization, the doctor

The surgical plan for the mother-in-law is: first do cervical conization (surgical removal of a piece of cervical tissue to determine the degree of cervical lesions), and then remove the uterus.

On the third day after the operation, the pathological results came out

Precancerous lesions.

The doctor told her that thanks to her family's vigilance, she found out early.

"After seeing the results, I felt a trance, as if I had used up my luck for decades." After the results,

Xiaojun sent me this text.

Cancer is so cunning, no symptoms in the early stage, no cure in the later stage

**。

Fortunately, Xiaojun was highly vigilant. In the end, she also reminded me that I must go for regular physical examinations, especially a comprehensive examination once a year.

、

Every year for physical examination, why is cancer always detected in the middle and late stages?

In the above story, Xiao Jun's mother-in-law was very lucky to cut off the signs of cancer at an early stage.

As the documentary says: We don't know the origin of cancer. Many people only go to the hospital for examination when they feel that something is wrong with their body, and they are finally found to be terminal cancer.

I believe that many office workers' companies will provide package services for physical examinations, but these physical examinations are only routine physical examinations and do not include cancer screening.

There are only two main items of routine physical examination:

physical examination

: breathing, heartbeat, height, weight, face, posture...;

Instrument inspection

: Blood routine, liver function, renal function, B-ultrasound, electrocardiogram, etc.

These physical examinations are only used to understand the overall state of the body, the presence or absence of infectious diseases, and the function of vital organs.

It is more practical for some common chronic diseases, such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, etc. But it does not serve the purpose of early cancer screening.

Therefore, it is very important to do a targeted physical examination.

According to my country's cancer statistics, lung cancer, stomach cancer, liver cancer, etc. are all high-incidence cancers. For cancer screening, I also made a table, and the cancer in the table is the focus of attention.

Briefly analyze this table:

lung cancer

The cancer with the highest mortality rate in the world is lung cancer, and China has the largest number of lung cancer patients in the world.

research shows,

The biggest cause of lung cancer is smoking, so male compatriots who have the habit of smoking are high-risk groups.

But you may not have thought that although Chinese women do not usually smoke, but

The cancer with the highest death rate in women is also lung cancer

, almost 3 times the risk of breast cancer!

At present, the scientific community does not have a clear reason for the high incidence of lung cancer in women, but there are two impacts on Chinese women that cannot be ignored:

Oil fumes generated during daily cooking

Year-round exposure to secondhand smoke from men at home

Regarding the physical examination of lung cancer, low-dose spiral CT can be performed in a targeted manner.

bowel cancer

Clinical data shows that people over the age of 45 have the greatest risk of developing colorectal cancer. Even if there is no family history of colorectal cancer or chronic inflammatory bowel disease, Shen Lanjun recommends a colonoscopy.

Do it every 10 years!

cervical cancer

Cervical cancer prevention is relatively simple,

The HPV vaccine is an effective way. The routine TCT and HPV tests can also monitor the virus situation.

Women in their 30s are advised to focus on it.

also,

If there is a family history of hepatitis B, hepatitis C, liver cancer, and long-term staying up late and drinking alcohol, it is recommended to perform abdominal ultrasonography and serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) examination every six months or one year.

Similar also,

People with poor eating habits and a family history of gastric cancer should have regular joint examinations of Helicobacter pylori and pepsinogen, and gastroscopic examinations can be added if necessary.

I will not list each of the physical examination items for cancer screening. I made a video a few days ago. Interested friends can click on the video below to learn about each physical examination item.

Cancer sounds like a terrible thing, and some people also think that if you have cancer, you can only wait to die. In fact, this understanding is not objective.

Regarding the misunderstanding of cancer, I have also written related articles, you can click on my avatar and reply by private message:

Third, write at the end

When the disease comes, we can only do our best to obey the destiny, but we must also face the future optimistically, pay attention to health and do regular comprehensive physical examinations.

In addition to the physical examination, Shen Lanjun feels that it is also very important to configure major illness insurance for himself, just in case, after suffering from a serious illness, he can also get a compensation payment.

In my opinion, both physical examination and insurance are scientific ways of facing risks, and every modern person should do well in these two points.
