Prevent cancer by changing your unhealthy lifestyle!

Cancer is a general term for a large category of diseases. Every year, there are more than 3.5 million new cancer cases and more than 2 million deaths in my country, and the prevention and control situation is severe. The most common cancers in my country include lung cancer, breast cancer, stomach cancer, liver cancer, colorectal cancer, esophageal cancer, cervical cancer, thyroid cancer, etc. In recent years, the incidence of lung cancer, breast cancer and colorectal cancer has shown a significant upward trend, while the incidence of liver cancer, stomach cancer and esophageal cancer remains high.

The factors that cause cancer are very complex, including external factors such as chemical, physical and chronic infection, as well as internal factors such as genetics, immunity, age and lifestyle. Most cancers are the result of long-term accumulation of genetic damage and changes in human cells under the long-term influence of external factors. It usually takes more than ten years to several decades for normal cells to develop into cancer cells.

The occurrence of cancer is a process of accumulation of relevant risk factors throughout a person's life cycle. Cancer prevention and control is not just a matter for middle-aged and elderly people. We should pay attention to cancer prevention as early as possible, develop a healthy lifestyle from an early age, avoid exposure to carcinogenic factors such as tobacco and alcohol, and reduce the risk of cancer.

Cancer is not contagious, but some carcinogenic factors are contagious.

Early diagnosis and treatment are the key to improving cancer survival rates

The treatment effect and survival time of cancer are closely related to the early stage of cancer detection. The earlier the detection, the better the treatment effect and the longer the survival time.

Pay attention to the cancer warning signs in your body. If you have the following symptoms, you should go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time:

1. Abnormal lumps that appear in superficial parts of the body.

2. Moles and warts on the body surface become darker or rapidly increase in size within a short period of time.

3. Abnormal sensations in the body: choking, pain, etc.

4. Ulcers on the skin or mucous membranes that do not heal for a long time.
