The physical examination was normal but he was found to have cancer. That’s because he was pretending to prevent cancer!

The official journal of the American Cancer Society published the report "Global Cancer Statistics 2018", which evaluated the incidence and mortality of 36 types of cancer in 185 countries. For every 100 new cancer patients in the world, 21 are Chinese. In other words, 10,000 people are diagnosed with cancer in my country every day, an average of 7 people get cancer every minute, and nearly 5 people die from cancer every minute.

I feel that cancer means death. Why is it so scary? This is because many tumors are already in the middle or late stages when they are discovered. If they are discovered in the early stages, the survival rate can be greatly improved. But in China, we often "pretend" to prevent cancer.

Many people actively take preventive examinations, but they are limited to participating in routine health check-ups, drawing blood, taking X-rays and leaving. In fact, cancer screening is very different from ordinary physical examinations.

Ordinary physical examinations often focus on some chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, diabetes, etc. If you don't focus on early screening of tumors, you may easily miss the best time to discover tumors.

Tumor screening is to assess the risk of disease and take targeted examination methods according to different tumor types.

For example, for men who have the habit of smoking and drinking, the focus is on screening for lung cancer, esophageal cancer, gastric cancer, liver cancer, bladder cancer, and colorectal cancer; for middle-aged women, the focus is on screening for breast cancer, cervical cancer, lung cancer, etc.

In general, tumor screening is more professional than routine physical examinations and can increase the probability of detecting early tumors.

This is why some people who are diagnosed with advanced cancer are still confused: My previous physical examination reports clearly showed no problems, why did I suddenly get sick?

With the development of medical technology, there are now definite screening methods for the eight cancers that pose the greatest threat to the Chinese people: liver cancer, stomach cancer, colorectal cancer, breast cancer, lung cancer, cervical cancer, esophageal cancer, and prostate cancer. We strive to achieve "early detection and early treatment" to nip cancer in the bud.

Next, we will teach you how to conduct targeted cancer prevention screening for the eight major tumors that are common among Chinese people.
