The two most aggressive cancers in the body, once you get them, your life will count down? Many elderly people don't pay attention to this

In the evening, I just finished a day of outpatient work. I took off my glasses tiredly and prepared to leave, but I saw a white-haired old man staggering over with a worried face. "Doctor, I always feel chest pain recently, and sometimes I cough non-stop. What's wrong with me?" The old man asked anxiously. I had to put on my glasses again and look at the old man carefully: "Old man, have you ever had a chest examination? For example, a chest X-ray or CT scan?" The old man shook his head: "No, I always felt that I was in good health, so I didn't pay much attention to it." I frowned instantly: "This won't work. Some diseases have no obvious early symptoms, and it may be too late when they are discovered. Especially lung cancer and pancreatic cancer, these two cancers often have no obvious symptoms in the early stage. Once diagnosed, it is extremely difficult to treat." The old man's face suddenly turned pale: "Doctor, are the two cancers you mentioned really that terrible?" I nodded: "Yes, lung cancer and pancreatic cancer are currently the malignant tumors with the highest mortality rates in the world. The incidence and mortality of lung cancer are high worldwide, and pancreatic cancer is called the 'silent killer' because of its strong concealment and difficulty in early diagnosis."

After hearing this, the old man couldn't help but tremble: "What should I do? Is there any hope for me?"

I comforted him, "Old man, don't panic.

We will arrange for you to do some necessary inspections now.

If early-stage cancer is treated promptly, the survival rate can be greatly improved.

Moreover, even if unfortunately diagnosed, medical technology is constantly improving, and there will always be a way. "

The old man tightly grasped the cane in his hand, with a firm look in his eyes: "Doctor, I believe in you, and I believe in myself.

As long as there is a glimmer of hope, I will not give up."

I smiled and patted the old man on the shoulder: "Good job, old man. Your attitude is very important.

Now, let's do a comprehensive physical examination and then formulate a treatment plan based on the results."

A few days later, the test results came out.

Fortunately, the old man did not suffer from lung cancer or pancreatic cancer. The chest discomfort was caused by chronic bronchitis.

I developed a detailed treatment plan for the old man and reminded him to have regular check-ups and pay attention to health care in his daily life.

The old man was filled with emotion: "It turns out that health is really a habit, not an accident.

I always neglected these things before, and I must take good care of myself in the future."

I nodded, “That’s right, old man.

Health requires each of us to maintain it with care.

Many diseases, not just cancer, can be prevented by leading a healthy lifestyle.”

After returning home, the old man began to change his lifestyle. He quit smoking, took a walk every day, and paid more attention to a balanced diet.

His family members were very happy and supportive to see the changes in the old man.

Dear readers, I would like to remind you that health should not be neglected.

Lung cancer and pancreatic cancer are indeed two dangerous diseases, but they are not invincible.

Regular physical examinations and a healthy lifestyle are important means of preventing cancer.

Especially the elderly should pay more attention to every little signal from the body and seek medical examination in time.

Here, we also share some tips on cancer prevention:

Quit smoking and limit alcohol consumption: Smoking and drinking are one of the main causes of lung cancer and many other cancers.

Balanced diet: Eat more fruits and vegetables and reduce the intake of high-fat, high-calorie foods.

Regular physical examinations: Regular cancer screening is essential, especially for people with a family history or other high-risk factors.

Active exercise: Appropriate physical activity can enhance physical fitness and improve immunity.

Mental health: Maintaining an optimistic attitude and reducing stress in life can help prevent cancer.

【Popular Science Knowledge】

Lung cancer and pancreatic cancer are recognized as the two most deadly cancers in the world.

Lung cancer is mainly related to factors such as smoking, air pollution, and occupational exposure, while pancreatic cancer is related to risk factors such as genetics, chronic pancreatitis, and diabetes.

The common feature of the two is that the early symptoms are not obvious, and once obvious symptoms appear, it is often in the middle or late stages.

In terms of preventive measures, in addition to the above-mentioned smoking cessation, alcohol restriction, balanced diet, regular physical examinations, etc., there are some specific suggestions:

For lung cancer, non-smokers should avoid breathing secondhand smoke, pay attention to indoor and outdoor air quality, and wear a mask when necessary;

For pancreatic cancer, control your weight and avoid being overweight, as obesity is an independent risk factor for pancreatic cancer.

Increasing your intake of antioxidant foods, such as those rich in vitamins C and E, can help fight free radicals and reduce cell damage;

Reduce your intake of processed meat and red meat, which have been linked to the development of many cancers;

Maintain a good attitude and learn to release stress. Excessive stress may affect the body's immune system, thereby increasing the risk of illness. Finally, we must realize that health is a long-term investment that requires us to continuously accumulate and maintain it in our daily lives. Let us work together to make the right choices and efforts for the health of ourselves and our families.
