Epidemiological surveys over the past two decades have shown that kidney cancer has entered the top ten tumors in my country and ranks eighth with an extremely rapid increase in incidence. Because there are almost no symptoms in the early stages, it is also called a "silent" cancer, so the prevention and treatment of kidney cancer is particularly important. Early surgery can cure During the annual physical examination, 50-year-old Mr. Zhang was told that he had a tumor in his right kidney. Since he did not feel any discomfort on weekdays, he did not believe the result at first. However, when he was diagnosed with clear cell carcinoma, Mr. Zhang listened to the doctor's advice and underwent nephrectomy. Because the cancer was discovered early and the cancer cells had not spread, Mr. Zhang recovered quickly after the operation and told everyone that he had saved his life. However, some people who also suffer from kidney cancer are not as lucky as Mr. Zhang. Because many people do not have the benefits of physical examinations in their companies and never spend money on physical examinations, when they go to the hospital for examination with severe hematuria, they find out that they have reached the late stage of kidney cancer and have missed the opportunity for surgery and cannot be treated. Eating the right food can protect your kidneys Kidney cancer usually occurs in middle-aged and elderly people aged 55-65. There is currently a trend of younger age, and the incidence rate in men is much higher than that in women. Yao Xin explained that no matter what type of kidney cancer, it is related to smoking, obesity, heavy metal radiation such as cadmium, and genetic factors. Most early kidney cancers do not cause obvious discomfort, and when patients experience low back pain, painless hematuria, and lumps that can be felt by hand, it is almost in the late stage. Therefore, physical examinations are the most important means of detecting early kidney cancer. A general ultrasound examination can detect a kidney tumor with a diameter of 0.8 cm. For men over 40 years old, especially those with unhealthy lifestyles such as smoking and a family history of kidney cancer, it is particularly important to have a physical examination once a year. Studies have shown that people who smoke more than 20 cigarettes a day and have been smoking for more than 15 years have a 4-5 times higher incidence of kidney cancer than ordinary people. It can be seen that not smoking or quitting smoking early is also one of the best measures to prevent kidney cancer. For people who quit smoking for more than 10 years, the incidence of kidney cancer will gradually return to the general population. In addition, Yao Xin introduced that water is the best "medicine" to prevent kidney cancer. Drinking more water helps reduce the occurrence of kidney cancer. Smokers are prone to cancer because of the long-term chronic stimulation of the renal tubules and collecting ducts by various toxic substances in tobacco, which leads to gene mutations in cells. Drinking more water can reduce the effective concentration of toxins and reduce the chance of gene mutations.
