Although there is awareness and understanding of malignant tumors has increased, but so far not yet fully understand its pathogenesis, they did not find specific treatment methods, and therefore has been popular with various people on the tumor's "legend", then these "legends "is correct?
"Tumor died," said: the World Health Organization as early as 80 years in the last century pointed out: 1 / 3 of cancer if early diagnosis can be treated; and 1 / 3 of cancer treatment, patients relieve pain, prolonging life, Cancer is not incurable disease. Even later found malignant lymphoma, germ cell tumor, choriocarcinoma, and so on can also be close to cure.
"Everything is over," said: cut off the lesion is cancer, "standard", while the cancer-causing factors and immune disorders is the monitoring of tumor "root", simple to remove the tumor can not solve the recurrence of cancer, proliferation, transfer and other problems . Therefore, pay attention to both the root causes tumor therapy, namely, to give an appropriate postoperative chemotherapy and radiotherapy, endocrine therapy, immunotherapy and traditional Chinese medicine treatment.
"Ruthless", said: the expansion of surgical resection, the high-dose conformal radiation therapy, as well as in bone marrow stem cells supported by high-dose chemotherapy, cancer cells are killed by cancer patients survival period was shortened. At present, the treatment of cancer can be surgical, do not blindly expanding the net radical; not suitable for surgery will have to coexist peacefully with the tumor.
"Can not be prevented," said: Some patients in good health prior to the onset, can be found after the cancer is advanced, it seems cancer is not preventable. In fact, the incidence of cancer can take years or decades of the induced period (incubation period), such as precancerous lesions to take measures can be prevented.
"Chinese Medicine is invalid," said: At present, the evaluation of efficacy standards are based on tumor shrinkage, rather than quality of life and survival, but precisely the effectiveness of the performance of traditional Chinese medicine in improving quality of life and prolong survival, it was felt that governance of cancer medicine is invalid. In fact, traditional Chinese medicine in the elimination of precancerous lesions, to radiotherapy and chemotherapy efficiency attenuated, anti-plays an important role in recurrence and metastasis.
"Starve tumors," said: Some people believe that cancer patients do not eat nutritious things, be able to "starve" cancer cells. If you get nutrition for the anti-tumor and normal tissues are not to the expense of nutrition, with the ultimate result is to die together.
Cancer Expert Tip: male susceptibility to six kinds of cancer
According to cancer experts, bad way of life is caused by men, the most direct cause of more cancer, the following six kinds of cancer, it is men who should focus on defense, "enemy."
Urinary system cancer:A man who's "Baby" are more concentrated in this area, in addition to prostate cancer, testicular cancer, penile cancer, and so male-specific tumor, the bladder tumor is the most common tumor of the system.
Experts suggest that men check once a year after the age of 50 prostate cancer-specific antigen (PSA), early diagnosis and the disease can be. Testicular cancer, mainly in the young men, people should self-test once a month. If both sides of the testes size or weight significantly different, we must guard against. If the existence of ulcers in the glans penis or foreskin, or mass, after 10 days -14 days of antibiotic treatment ineffective, they should doubt whether the carcinoma of the penis. Early bladder cancer will be painless hematuria, can be diagnosed with B-ultrasound and cystoscopy.
Lung Cancer:Tumors among the males, "top," the Chinese Association for Thoracic Surgery physicians Branch Director-General Zhi Xiuyi that smoking caused lung cancer, a major factor, in addition, the disease and air pollution, and excessive fatigue life is also related to the law.
A large number of studies have shown that smoking, especially smoking cigarettes, reasons for the increase of lung cancer mortality. Cigarettes contain benzopyrene and other carcinogens, smoking habit of lung cancer incidence rate 10 times higher than non-smokers. The younger started smoking, smoking and the longer the greater the number of smoking, lung cancer incidence and mortality higher. Therefore, tobacco control, can reduce the incidence of lung cancer. U.S. studies have shown that through effective tobacco control, the United States of lung cancer incidence rate has dropped to a plateau. In addition, passive smoking and cooking fumes are one cause of lung cancer, the current increase in female lung cancer incidence may be related to this.
Liver:From hepatitis - cirrhosis - liver cancer, "liver trilogy" has always been a man's nightmare. Tianjin Cancer Hospital, Director of Hepatobiliary Oncology, SONG Tian-keung said the one hand, regular physical examination, moderate drinking or abstinence, do not eat moldy food, is the prevention of liver cancer for all the "magic weapon." Secondly, over the age of 35 hepatitis B surface antigen-positive chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis of the liver five years, three generations of relatives who have a family history of liver cancer, an alpha-fetoprotein testing every six months should be done meeting the liver B-.
Rectal cancer:Tianjin Tumor Hospital of colorectal cancer Liu Jianzhong, director pointed out that men eating fat and protein foods more than women in general, but research shows that they are one of the important reasons leading to cancer. Therefore, the table should always have cellulose-rich fruits and vegetables and other foods.
Early rectal lesions confined to mucosa, doctors can reach under DRE slightly elevated nodules, when the patient no symptoms. The further development of cancer, causing secondary infection, ulceration, affecting the intestine smooth before symptoms. 'll Always be blood in the stool, stool frequency increased, constipation, tenesmus, then before the abdominal pain, stool with mucus thinner, the Ministry of unknown causes sacroiliac pain and so on.
Rectal cancer is the anus, rectum common diseasesEarly because of the symptoms was not obvious, easy to be confused with other diseases, anus, some clinicians are often overlooked. Anorectal experts pointed out: cancer patients, 80% of the primary cancer can be simple, non-invasive DRE examination found. Fingers can touch foreign bodies of different shapes, such as polyp-like objects, pedunculated, removable; or nodular mass, quality hard, irregular shape, not moving. Finger infected mucus, stating the nature of pus and blood discharge.
In short, as long as the emphasis on the census of early rectal inspection, rectal cancer of digestive tract more easily than others to make early diagnosis. Therefore, the ano-rectal diseases experts called: do not ignore the early rectal examination DRE.
Renal cell carcinoma:Tianjin Cancer Hospital, director of genitourinary system tumors Yao Xin introduced, the incidence of obesity, smoking and other relevant, B-ultrasonography and CT can help diagnose.
Varied clinical manifestations of renal cell carcinoma, and sometimes without any symptoms, but the tumor has been extensive progress in the body, or even the lung, bone and other signs of metastasis. Hematuria, flank pain and swelling in clinical practice often referred to as the three typical symptoms of renal cell carcinoma.
(1), hematuria is the most common symptoms, usually manifested intermittent, painless gross and / or microscopic hematuria.
(2) low back pain usually manifested persistent dull pain. When the tumor has invaded the nerves or lumbar spine can cause severe pain. Hematuria in the ureter into the cable strip blood clot within the solidified, with the urine, which can cause back pain.
(3) mass in patients with renal cell carcinoma waist or upper abdominal palpable mass by about 10%. Kidney in the early formation of palpable tumors is difficult, and only grow to more than 3-5 cm in diameter, when it may be possible when the touch palpation. Masses of quality is often hard, uneven surface, or nodular. In thin patients or tumors in the lower pole of kidney, the physical examination may be palpable to the masses. If the mass is fixed, said the kidney is surrounded by infiltration, poor prognosis. The above three symptoms have few opportunities to appear at the same time, accounting for about 10% a 15%, if the same time, there is often a sign of late.
Oral Cancer:Association of Head and Neck Oncology, Taipei Sheng-Po Hao said that oral cancer is the young men most likely to get cancer, the incidence rate is a woman 10 times. Smoking, drinking, eating betel nuts is an incentive. He reminded, if we find oral ulcers for 2 weeks is not good, must be timely treatment, this is the most important signals of oral cancer.
Swollen lymph nodes: number of oral cancer metastasis to the lymph nodes near the neck, and sometimes the primary lesion is small, and even the symptoms are not obvious, but have found a cervical lymph node metastasis of cancer cells. Therefore, the cervical lymph nodes, such as a sudden enlargement is required dental check-up.
Dysfunction: The tumor may infringe Zhang silence muscles and jaw joints, leading to open-closed movement is limited
