Cancer has ranked first among the top ten causes of death in my country for many years, and the top three of the top ten cancer deaths are respectively lung cancer, liver cancer, and rectal cancer. The doctor reminds that through regular health checkups and early resection of lesions, the survival rate can be greatly improved. For example, the 5-year survival rate after the first stage of bowel cancer can reach 90-95%, and the zero-stage polyp resection can be 100% cured .
Xinguang Hospital recently held a series of health lectures. Zhu Guangen, the director of Xinxin Wisdom Clinic and director of the Health Management Department of Xinguang Hospital, shared the importance of health checks. Seeking medical treatment is probably in the late stage.
Zhu Guangen said that early lung cancer can be screened through LDCT low-dose lung computed tomography, which has the characteristics of high resolution and low radiation dose, and can find tumors hidden in the heart or trachea that cannot be irradiated by X-rays. For example, Vice President Chen Jianren passed LDCT found a tiny nodule of 0.4 cm in the apex of the right lung, which recovered after 4 days of hospitalization without chemotherapy. He suggested that high-risk subjects such as smokers, chronic lung and tracheal diseases, and family history of lung cancer should be screened regularly.
In addition, intestinal polyps are one of the risk factors for colorectal cancer. If not removed in time, it is likely to develop into cancer in 5-10 years. Early removal can almost prevent cancer from occurring. Zhu Guangen pointed out that a 1 cm colorectal polyp is likely to be cancer, and the cure rate of zero-stage resection is 100%; the 5-year survival rate of one-stage resection is 95%.
Colonoscopy is an important channel to find polyps. Zhu Guangen suggested that those with positive fecal occult blood reaction, those with family history of colorectal cancer, bloody stools, unexplained anemia, etc., especially high-risk groups, should perform the first colonoscopy before the age of 40 , after every 5 years to do a re-examination.
In addition, the three highs “high blood pressure, high blood fat, and high blood sugar” are the three major killers of health, especially young stroke patients, almost all of which are related to the three highs. To prevent cerebrovascular diseases, brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be done . As for liver cancer, which ranks second in cancer deaths, including hepatitis B, C, alcoholic hepatitis, and fatty liver are risk factors for liver cancer, regular screening is recommended.
