Cancer screening, did you do the right thing? These nine common cancers are screened. I hope you know in advance.
What are the different cancer screening methods? There are cases of lung cancer in the family; those who smoke more than 20 packs a year are all at high risk of lung cancer and should be screened by low-dose spiral CT once a year. Some of the immediate family members suffer from gastric cancer; they live in areas with high incidence of gastric cancer; patients with chronic atrophic gastritis, hypertrophic gastritis, gastric polyps and those who have undergone gastrectomy have liver cancer cases in the family; abdominal ultrasound and serum alpha-fetoprotein should be tested every 6 months, and hepatitis C antibody and hepatitis B virus surface antigen should be tested frequently. 4. Men older than 50 years old with prostate cancer should have rectal identification and PSA examination every 6 to 12 months. Patients with low immunity, patients with human papillomavirus infection and those who receive treatment due to cervical intraepithelial neoplasia should be screened for TCT and HPV regularly. 6. The age of breast cancer is over 45 years old; some of the immediate family members suffer from breast cancer; these are all high-risk groups of breast cancer and mammography should be done every 6 months.
There are hundreds of millions of cells in the body, and genes regulate cell growth and apoptosis. Under normal circumstances, cells divide, grow, wither and die according to the law, so as to complete metabolism and maintain the normal function of the body. Once the gene is out of order, it can lead to excessive proliferation or abnormal differentiation of cells, resulting in the formation of tumors. Evaluate whether it is a high-risk group according to your own situation, and do cancer prevention screening regularly.
What are the different cancer screening methods?
1. Lung cancer
The reason why lung cancer is put in the first place is that morbidity and mortality are in the first place. People over 50 years old, with lung cancer in their families, chronic pulmonary fibrosis or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, long-term exposure to radon, uranium and asbestos, and those who smoke more than 20 packs a year are all at high risk of lung cancer and should be screened by low-dose spiral CT once a year. Once nodules are found in the lungs, other tests are needed to confirm the diagnosis.
2. Gastric cancer
Over 45 years old; long-term smoking and drinking, preference for pickled foods; Helicobacter pylori positive; people in immediate family members suffering from gastric cancer; living in areas with high incidence of gastric cancer; chronic atrophic gastritis, hypertrophic gastritis, gastric polyps, people who have had gastrectomy, gastroscopy should be done every half a year to once a year.
3. Liver cancer
Chronic hepatitis B or C; liver cirrhosis or severe fatty liver; there are cases of liver cancer in the family; people over 40 years old; those living in areas with high incidence of liver cancer should have abdominal ultrasound and serum alpha-fetoprotein examination every 6 months. Hepatitis C antibody and hepatitis B virus surface antigen should also be tested frequently.
4. Prostate cancer
For men over 50 years old, their father or grandfather has prostate cancer and the course of prostatitis lasts for more than 5 years. Rectal identification and PSA examination should be performed every 6 to 12 months.
5. Cervical cancer
Couples who have lived for more than three years or married women; those with low immunity, those with human papillomavirus infection, and those who receive treatment due to cervical intraepithelial neoplasia should be screened for TCT and HPV regularly.
6. Breast cancer
Over 45 years old; carry BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene; some of the immediate family members suffer from breast cancer; one breast cancer, these are high-risk groups of breast cancer, mammography should be done every 6 months.
7. Thyroid carcinoma
In early childhood, the head and neck were exposed to radiation; there was a family history of thyroid cancer; the diameter of thyroid nodules was larger than 1cm, accompanied by breathing or swallowing, dysphagia and enlarged lymph nodes, and regular cervical ultrasound examination was needed.
8. Colorectal cancer
Over 45 years old; suffering from chronic biliary tract disease and appendicitis, intestinal polyps; family history of colorectal cancer; chronic constipation or diarrhea lasting more than two years, should be screened by colonoscopy regularly.
9. Esophageal cancer
Family history of esophageal cancer; reflux esophagitis patients; preference for spicy stimulation, too hot and pickled food, rough food; living in areas with high incidence of esophageal cancer, these people should be screened by gastroscopy regularly.
reminder
Judge whether you need to be screened for cancer according to your age, sex, family history and living habits. Most cancers can be prevented, daily should stay away from carcinogens and carcinogens, put off the cigarette, put down the glass, gradually overcome sedentary, stay up late and other bad habits; adhere to exercise, balanced intake of nutrients to improve resistance, while keeping calm.
