Why can I live with cancer for more than ten years?

April 15-21 is the National Cancer Prevention and Control Week.

For the treatment of cancer patients, we should not only pay attention to medical technology but ignore humanistic care.

On the morning of April 14th, the Second People’s Hospital of Guangdong Province (hereinafter referred to as "the Second Provincial Hospital") launched the 2021 National Cancer Prevention Week series of activities and medical humanities improvement plan, so that everyone can enter the hospital with warmth, and the tumor ward will no longer be cold.

"After getting a tumor, the patient suffers both physical and mental torture.

Among them, music therapy, as an emerging clinical adjuvant therapy, has a unique effect on tumor prevention and treatment.

Living with cancer for more than ten years is not a dream

In the aftermath of the music, 88-year-old Uncle She, his son, and Aunt Cao, a breast cancer patient, took the stage together to share their anti-cancer stories and tell the warmth between doctors and patients.

Case 1: 88-year-old man suffers from cancer twice in ten years

"Ten years ago, my 78-year-old father was diagnosed with advanced lung cancer.

Old Uncle She immediately said to his son: "Listen to the doctor! I believe the doctors here.

Case 2: Twelve years after breast cancer surgery

Aunt Cao suffered from breast cancer twelve years ago, when she had just retired and was only 50 years old, she was very afraid of cancer.

There are many examples of successful anti-cancer activities like Lao She and Aunt Cao.

If you don’t have a gastrointestinal endoscopy, the cancer prevention checkup is a hooliganism.

Not only the elderly need to be wary of tumors, but they may also develop cancer at a young age.

People with the following conditions are more likely to be approached by tumors:

1.

2.
Dizziness, double vision, cataplexy, confusion, vision loss, mental restlessness or indifference or even coma, etc.
;

3.
There are changes in defecation characteristics, or alternate episodes of diarrhea and constipation;

4.
Pain that recurs for more than three months and continues to aggravate, such as abdominal pain, pain in the liver area, pain in the gastric cavity, etc.
;

5.
There is a history of Helicobacter pylori, Epstein-Barr virus infection, and recurrent gastric ulcer, gastritis, nasal discharge and blood;

6.
People with family history of tumorous diseases, diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, coronary heart disease and other basic diseases;

7.
People with long-term irregular work and rest, staying up late, unclean eating or even overeating, smoking and drinking, and people who are stressed and fast-paced.

Zhang Xuhui gives four suggestions for cancer prevention:

1.
Psychological stress is closely related to the occurrence of tumors, so you must adjust your emotions, be happy, and don't be sullen all day long.

2.
Maintain a healthy life>

3.
Active treatment of basic diseases, such as hepatitis B and gastritis, should be treated with standardized medications to reduce the risk of liver cancer and gastric cancer.

4.
Pay attention to regular physical examinations.
"You should have your first gastrointestinal endoscopy in your life over the age of 40.
I think that cancer prevention medical examinations that do not do gastrointestinal endoscopy are all hooliganism.
" He emphasized that gastrointestinal tumors are obviously related to age, compared with chest radiographs and chest radiographs CT examinations and gastrointestinal endoscopy are not well accepted.
In fact, this examination is very useful.
"It has both diagnostic and therapeutic functions.
Once polyps are found, they can be treated immediately, killing precancerous lesions in the cradle.
"

Although breast cancer has surpassed lung cancer as the "largest cancer" globally, lung cancer is still the most common tumor in China.
Therefore, high-risk groups such as a family history of lung cancer, long-term smoking, and asbestos exposure should be vigilant.
Under the guidance of a doctor, choose to take chest X-ray or low-dose spiral CT for screening.
