February 4th every year is the World Cancer Day designated by the union for international cancer control (UICC). The theme of World Cancer Day in 212 is: "Together with participation, we can make a miracle", which aims to appeal to the whole society to target different groups (teenagers) from different levels (government agencies, cancer research and treatment institutions, anti-cancer professional governments, non-governmental organizations, etc.).
The global cancer incidence continues to rise, mainly due to the following two aspects: 1. The global aging trend and population growth; Second, the behavior related to carcinogenicity has increased. According to the report of the World Health Organization, in 28, there were about 12.7 million new cancer patients in the world, and 7.6 million died of cancer. Especially in developing countries, the number of new cancer cases reached 56%. It is estimated that by 22, the global cancer incidence will increase by 5%, that is, 15 million new cancer patients will be added every year. Not only that, the number of cancer deaths is also rising rapidly around the world, and this number may increase to 13.2 million in 23. Breast cancer is the most common tumor in female patients, while lung cancer is the most common tumor in male patients. At present, the prevalence rate of malignant tumor patients in Shanghai has exceeded 1%, and the absolute prevalence rate is over 13 thousand.
smoking is the number one killer. About 2% of cancer deaths are closely related to "smoking". Smoking is a high-risk factor for more than one third of cancer. The more you smoke, the longer you smoke and the earlier you start, the higher the risk of cancer. Eighty percent of lung cancer is caused by long-term smoking. Smoking is not only closely related to lung cancer, but also related to more than ten kinds of tumors such as pancreatic cancer, esophageal cancer, gastric cancer, colorectal cancer, oral cancer, tongue cancer, laryngeal cancer, bladder cancer, renal cancer and cervical cancer. The incidence of cancer in smokers is significantly higher than that in non-smokers. The more you smoke every day, the younger you start smoking and the longer you smoke, the greater the risk of inducing cancer. Effective tobacco control can obviously curb the increase of cancer incidence and mortality. China has the largest number of smokers in the world, reaching 3 million, and the number of passive smokers is unimaginable. How to effectively control tobacco is an urgent task for the government. For smokers, they should start from themselves and be responsible for their families and society. It should be remembered that it is never too late to quit smoking, and the sooner the better.
unhealthy and unbalanced eating habits. High fat, high protein, high calorie, low cellulose, lack of trace elements (iodine, zinc, copper, selenium, etc.) and excessive drinking are closely related to the occurrence and development of cancer. The World Cancer Research Foundation suggests that plant-based foods should be the mainstay, including eating different kinds of fruits and vegetables every day. Fruits and vegetables may reduce the risk of cancer, and people who eat more fruits and vegetables are generally less overweight. Moderate consumption of red meat (such as beef, pork and mutton) and avoiding excessive consumption of processed meat are conducive to controlling the risk of cancer. Studies have shown that excessive drinking of some alcoholic drinks is one of the causes of various cancers. Therefore, reducing the amount of alcoholic drinks can effectively reduce the risk of cancer. Instead of relying on nutritional supplements to prevent cancer, it is suggested that people should absorb the nutrients they need from food.
increase awareness of the "harmonious and balanced" state of one's own body. Although human beings have not conquered cancer at present, they have mastered some knowledge about the causes of cancer and preventive intervention measures. Through proactive prevention and intervention, at least 4% of cancers can be prevented. People should get rid of the pessimistic idea of "talking about cancer discoloration" and treat it scientifically and dialectically. There are "proto-oncogenes" in every healthy individual, and there are genetic and chromosomal abnormalities in different degrees, which is called genetic susceptibility, but they are in a state of balance under the monitoring of "tumor suppressor genes" and normal immune system, and will not produce lesions. The occurrence of cancer is the result of the interaction of many factors. When the defense balance mechanism of the body is broken under the repeated stimulation of the above-mentioned high-risk factors (the three killers), the "proto-oncogene" will be activated, abnormal genetic characteristics will produce carcinogenic phenotype, and after a complicated canceration process, tumors will eventually be produced. It takes a long time to change from normal cells to tumor cells. For example, pancreatic cancer is a tumor that people pay more attention to recently. Pavarotti and Apple President Steve Jobs (pancreatic endocrine cancer) both died because of it, and the degree of malignancy is extremely high. However, the recent research conclusion of Nature, the world's top magazine, shows that it may take more than ten years to gradually change from normal pancreatic ductal epithelial cells to cancer cells until distant metastasis. In other words, we have more than ten years to prevent it, find it early and. A healthy lifestyle, a positive and optimistic attitude towards life and a scientific knowledge of cancer prevention are the three elements to maintain a "harmonious and balanced" health state of one's own body.
A variety of methods "comprehensive synergy" treatment mode to deal with cancer. If we can find it early and get timely and regular treatment, one third of cancer can be cured. Looking at the progress of clinical tumor diagnosis and treatment, multidisciplinary comprehensive treatment has become the model and development direction of tumor treatment. It requires the participation of multiple disciplines, the common understanding of oncology specialty among different disciplines, and the unity and cooperation among disciplines, so that tumor treatment can be combined from a single method to multiple means, which can continuously improve the treatment level of malignant tumors. The Cancer Hospital affiliated to Fudan University has always advocated a multidisciplinary comprehensive treatment model, and established several high-level treatment teams (Mu1ti-discip1inaryteamMDT) in China earlier, such as breast cancer, colorectal cancer, urinary system tumor, chest tumor, pancreatic hepatobiliary tumor, etc. Each team is composed of surgery, radiotherapy, pathology, integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine, oncology, radiation diagnosis, digestive endoscopy center, tumor basic researchers and so on. The cooperative group provides specialized medical services for tumor patients, makes detailed and detailed treatment plans through multidisciplinary discussions, applies the principles of evidence-based medicine, and works out a treatment plan that conforms to the current research direction, shortens and optimizes the time and process from diagnosis to treatment, provides the best treatment plan for patients, and strives to improve the cure rate and prolong the survival period of patients.
"* * * Participation" cares for every cancer patient. Every cancer patient should get scientific treatment and the help of the whole society, not only the diagnosis and treatment services of medical institutions, but also a good family environment and a caring community atmosphere. Government departments should also participate in it and build a service platform for cancer patients. Shanghai Anti-Cancer Association has always been committed to serving cancer patients in the city by popularizing science, hoping to become a link, integrate medical institutions, medical staff, patients and their families related to anti-cancer cause, and all sectors of society, and achieve anti-cancer miracles with participation.
