Watching the news another young man passed away due to bowel cancer, how is bowel cancer so terrible and can it be prevented?

Bowel cancer, as the name suggests, is a cancer that occurs in the rectum or colon. Most bowel cancers occur in people over the age of 50, but in recent years it seems that the incidence of bowel cancer has been on the rise, with many people in their twenties and thirties being "favored" by bowel cancer. It is really regrettable to see people suffering from cancer at such a young age.

How is bowel cancer so terrible?

Not only is bowel cancer scary, all cancers are scary, and there are many more scary cancers than bowel cancer. What's scary is its high incidence rate, and the trend of its youthfulness, right? In fact, the five-year survival rate of bowel cancer is more than 80% as long as it can be detected at an early stage and receive proper treatment. For this reason, bowel cancer doesn't seem to be so scary, but it's difficult to detect it early.

How can bowel cancer be detected early?

1. Rectal finger test: Doctors can use their fingers to palpate the rectum for abnormal lesions, and make a preliminary judgment on the presence or absence of rectal cancer. More than half of the bowel cancer patients in China are rectal cancer, and most of the rectal cancer can be felt out by rectal finger test.

2. Fecal Occult Blood Test (FOBT): Tumor invasion of intestinal mucosa and submucosal blood vessels will lead to small amount of bleeding, which is hard to be seen by naked eyes, but FOBT can be very sensitive to find out these small amount of bleeding. Fecal occult blood test is very helpful for early detection of bowel cancer.

3. Enteroscopy: Enteroscopy directly observes the intestinal lesions, and if abnormalities are found, a small amount of tissue can be clamped for pathologic examination. Enteroscopy is currently the best way to diagnose bowel cancer.

How to prevent bowel cancer?

1. Dietary prevention: High dietary fiber can reduce the risk of bowel cancer. It is recommended to increase the intake of fruits, vegetables, and roughage, and avoid too much or too much preference for meat.

2. Alcohol control and smoking cessation: Research shows that long-term smoking and long-term heavy drinking are high risk factors for bowel cancer.

3. Exercise to lose weight: "China Colorectal Cancer Prevention*** Knowledge Opinions (Shanghai, 2016)" mentioned that obesity is a potential high-risk factor for the development of bowel cancer, and reasonable exercise can reduce the risk of bowel cancer.

4. Timely treatment of cancer-causing intestinal polyps.

In fact, if bowel cancer can be found early and treated early, it is not so terrible, bowel cancer screening is an effective means of early detection of bowel cancer. The American Cancer Society recommends that people at average risk, starting at age 50, have a colonoscopy every ten years. For young people, if there is a family history of bowel cancer, familial adenomatous polyps or unusual symptoms (blood in the stool, increased stool frequency, mucus stools and abdominal pain, etc.) you should visit the hospital in a timely manner and have a colonoscopy if necessary.

I am a general practitioner, it is not easy to code, your likes, comments, attention is the biggest affirmation of me. If you find it useful, you can also forward it to your friends.

Colorectal cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in our country, killing nearly 200,000 people each year as a result, with the number of deaths being about half of new cases. A part of the bowel cancer due to surgery, adjuvant radiotherapy can be cured, or prolonged survival time, mainly patients with early disease. Other patients with low histological grade tumors and poor genotyping tend to metastasize quickly, half of bowel cancers may eventually develop liver metastases, and about 1/3 of patients develop lung metastases.

For advanced bowel cancer, although there are anti-angiogenic drugs can be used, but the effect is not ideal, and is not the first-line treatment, immunotherapy has clinical research, the effect is also good, but the adaptability of the population is limited to about 10-15%, including the number of people who can't afford to use it although it is adapted. Clinical data show that the five-year survival rate of stage IV bowel cancer is only about 13%, so the front line of dealing with bowel cancer must be moved forward, it is best not to develop into cancer, at least early, do not fight with it in the late stage, it is too difficult.

Cancer is the result of a change in one's own cells, and prevention is not as easy as dealing with microbes, such as vaccinations, or even antibiotics, so preventing bowel cancer can't be avoided absolutely, but it can reduce the chance of developing it. In addition to age, genetics and other objective factors have a lot to do with the occurrence of bowel cancer, we can only start from the dietary habits, lifestyle and other subjective factors.

At present, there is a relatively consistent understanding that animal-based high-protein, high-fat and low-fiber diets cause bowel cancer! Why? The intake of these high-nutrition, high-energy food is bound to have more bile acid secretion, the metabolism of the substances have methylcholanthrene, which is a class I carcinogen, that is, with a clear correlation with cancer is recognized. Low-fiber diet is mainly buffered from harmful substances in the intestine, intestinal peristalsis, fecal transit is also slow, there are also studies related to probiotics, the conclusion is not clear.

In addition to dietary factors, some lifestyle also affects the occurrence of bowel cancer, pointed out that the most sedentary, the reason may be that bowel movements to be poor. Obesity is an endocrine factor, and diet, exercise has a lot to do, some people say that eating too much sugar is not good, the biggest reason is that more sugar is easy to cause obesity, so it seems to eat less sweets.

Some vitamins, minerals to reduce the incidence of bowel cancer research has not been very high evidence of drug intervention in the occurrence of bowel cancer said the most is aspirin, but is also controversial, it also has gastrointestinal irritation, bleeding and other side effects, is not recommended for routine prevention of bowel cancer.

The incidence of bowel cancer in our country is soaring at a rate of 3.7% per year, while the United States is surprisingly declining by 3% per year, the American diet is even more high-calorie, high-nutrition, red meat, processed meat, KFC, McDonald's are not theirs, why is this? Screening! Early detection, early diagnosis, early treatment and other "three early" is the second line of defense to prevent cancer, for bowel cancer is very effective!

Bowel cancer occurs in 85% of patients are adenomas pathway, polyps, adenomas (neoplasia), carcinoma in situ, invasive carcinoma, adenomas to the process of carcinoma in situ how long?10-15 years! If we can get a colonoscopy in the meantime to take out the adenoma, where does the cancer come from? Screening is important. Colonoscopy is the gold standard! I'm @DrLiuYoungYi , thank you for reading!

The incidence of colorectal cancer ranks third among all tumors, after lung and stomach cancers, with more than 300,000 people diagnosed each year and more than 200,000 patients dying from colorectal cancer.

In fact, bowel cancer is not as scary as people think, colon cancer is a kind of cancer that can be prevented and detected early. Because more than 80% of colorectal cancer, are malignant from intestinal polyps. From the occurrence of intestinal polyps, and finally become colon cancer, it takes at least 10 years, if you can find the polyps in this 10-year period, and remove the polyps, then you can prevent the occurrence of colorectal cancer, so colorectal cancer can be prevented.

The occurrence of colorectal cancer has a very important relationship with poor lifestyle and dietary habits. To prevent colorectal cancer, you need to start from the following aspects:

(1) Eat more vegetables and fruits

Eat more vegetables and fruits, which are rich in dietary fiber, can promote intestinal peristalsis and defecation, which is beneficial for the intestines. Some studies have shown that a high-fiber diet, can reduce the incidence of colorectal cancer.

(2) Eat less red meat and processed meat

Meat can provide rich protein, which is necessary for us, but nothing can be eaten more than enough, especially processed meat such as cured meat, bacon, ham, and other processed meats, as well as pork, beef, lamb and other red meat. These meats should be consumed in moderation, and eating them twice a week is more appropriate.

(3) Proper exercise and weight control

Sedentary, inactivity, obesity and diabetes may increase the incidence of colorectal cancer. In order to prevent colorectal cancer, you should exercise more, control your weight, keep your weight within the normal range, and avoid obesity and wasting.

(4) Regular physical examination

For our general public, if there is no uncomfortable symptoms, should be from 45 to 50 years of age, start to accept the colonoscopy, if the colonoscopy did not find a problem, you can tube about ten years, you can ten years after the re-examination of the colonoscopy.

In a word, colon cancer can be prevented by maintaining good living and eating habits and regular medical checkups.

The most common bowel cancer is colon cancer and rectal cancer, i.e. colorectal cancer, which has become the third largest cancer, and small bowel cancer is rare. The average age of onset of bowel cancer in China is 48.3 years old, while the average age of onset in the United States is 69.8 years old, a full 20 years earlier. Moreover, there are more and more people under 40 years old in China, and it is found to be in advanced stage.

The high-risk factors of colorectal cancer include the following:

Genetic factors

About 10% of colorectal cancers have obvious family hereditary tendency, and this hereditary tendency is usually difficult to be corrected, but by raising the importance of colorectal cancer prevention and doing regular checkups, even if colorectal cancers occur, as long as they are detected early and treated early, good results can be achieved as well. However, by paying more attention to the prevention of colorectal cancer and doing regular checkups, even if colorectal cancer occurs, as long as it is detected early and treated early, it can also achieve good results. As the saying goes, "Early detection lasts 30 years, but late detection lasts 3 months". Early detection of colorectal cancer patients with a five-year survival rate of up to 90%.

Intestinal polyps

Although benign intestinal polyps do not grow indefinitely, they can become cancerous after 10-15 years. According to data 80% of colorectal cancers evolve from intestinal polyps, and the cancer rate of familial polyposis is as high as 100%. If you find intestinal polyps, you should remove them in a timely manner and have regular colonoscopies.

Chronic colitis

For example, ulcerative colitis, there will be trauma after the ulcer erosion, trauma should be repaired, and problems in the repair process will be cancerous.

Early symptoms of colorectal cancer are not specific, such as abdominal pain, increased defecation, constipation, fine stool, increased farting, and blood in stool, which can be easily confused with gastrointestinal diseases, especially blood in stool can be easily confused with hemorrhoids. Therefore, the best choice for colorectal cancer screening is colonoscopy.

Regarding the prevention of colorectal cancer, in addition to a good lifestyle (which applies to any disease), the most important thing is to eat well, not blindly. Don't always just think about satisfying your mouth, eat what you want to eat, don't eat what you don't want to eat, and also consider the feelings of the intestines and stomach, after all, the good aroma is the mouth in the enjoyment, while the bad smell is the stomach and intestines in the processing, and in the end the results are still our own to bear.

Hello, I'm glad to answer your question, colorectal cancer is one of the common clinical malignant tumors, the incidence rate is increasing year by year, as of 2015 the national statistics of tumor cases, the lethality rate accounts for about the fifth place of all the tumors. The so-called bowel cancer is refers to malignant tumors that originate in the epithelial mucosa of the colorectum. The scary thing is that it is insidious, hard to be detected in the early stage, and the incidence of the population is young. This reminds me of a young male patient, close to 40 years of age, who was found to have thin stools and abdominal distension in the last year when taking his medical history. As he was busy with work and had a lot of socializing, he mistook it for enteritis and used some antibiotics on his own. The symptoms are sometimes light, and then gradually aggravated, nearly three months, there blood in the stool, blood and stool mixed together, due to the previous hemorrhoids, he also have a sense of chance, thinking that it is a hemorrhoid flare-ups, nearly a month, there is a more serious abdominal distension, anemia, emaciation, after self examination in the hospital. After going to the hospital on his own, he was diagnosed with adenocarcinoma of the ascending colon after endoscopic and histologic examinations, and even more frightening was the appearance of varying sizes of space-occupying lesions in the liver, which, yes, were liver metastases. Colon cancer with metastases to important organs means poorer staging, more limited treatment, and more poor prognosis. This patient is very young, so I remember it very well. It is really frightening to think that why is colorectal cancer so hard to detect?

I think there are three problems, first , most of the malignant tumors are hard to be found in the early stage, most of them do not have obvious signs and symptoms, colorectal cancer is not an exception, the lack of typical symptoms in the early stage. With the popularization of medical checkups, individual patients can be found during medical checkups; secondly, it is because a lot of patients have the symptom of abnormal stools or blood in stools, which is often mistaken as hemorrhoids, which delays the condition and makes it more hidden; lastly there are a large number of patients who are afraid of the disease, and they are afraid that the disease will not be found in the early stage.
A large number of patients are afraid to do enteroscopy, and take a chance, often with symptoms but delayed again and again, until the development of advanced intestinal cancer.

Next, let's talk about the common causes of colorectal cancer, understand the causes, can take effective preventive measures.

I. Common causes of colorectal cancer

At present, the known causes of the disease are:

① Familial colorectal polypoid lesions, i.e., malignant transformation of intestinal polyps into colorectal cancer, which has obvious familial aggregation characteristics, that is, in the immediate family (parents), in the immediate family (parents), in the immediate family (parents), in the immediate family (parents), in the immediate family (parents). The children of immediate family members (parents, brothers, uncles) who have intestinal polyps or intestinal malignant tumors have a very high incidence of intestinal malignant tumors. There is a case where the father had colon cancer, and three out of the four children had high-risk intestinal polyps, and the most high-risk polyps are the chorionic adenomatous polyps, which have the greatest tendency to malign. In the case of polyps, they are characterized by a chorioadenomatous pattern with infiltration, which is predictable and destructive and needs to be taken seriously.

Nitrite foods stimulate the intestinal mucosa, inducing cancer, now, nitrite has been included in the list of carcinogens, and carcinogenicity is clear. For example, bacon, salted fish, processed meat and irrigation products, sauerkraut and other nitrite content of food excessive intake, can directly lead to malignant tumors in the digestive tract. Such as coastal areas like to eat salted fish (dry dry fish), the incidence of tumors is higher than other regions; like to eat sausage, sauerkraut and other processed foods, the incidence of tumors is higher than other populations.

In addition, long-term consumption of barbecue, fried food, carcinogen benzopyrene content is too high, can also induce intestinal cancer.

These are high-risk groups that need to be actively monitored and prevented.

③ Scholars believe that smoking and drinking, water pollution, ulcerative colitis and other factors, may also be the cause of intestinal malignant tumors.

II. Clinical manifestations and diagnosis of colorectal cancer

? Clinical manifestations can be asymptomatic in the early stage. With the development of the disease, it can be summarized as the following manifestations according to the site of tumor occurrence and progress.

Changes in bowel pattern, which is mainly recognized by the frequency, regularity, and shape of stools.

For example, once the bowel movement was one to two times a day and was shaped, but now it has gradually increased to three to four times a day, accompanied by diarrhea, or gradually developing into difficult bowel movements and constipation. Used to have regular bowel movement in the morning, but now gradually losing regularity and having irregular bowel movement time. In patients with rectal cancer, tumor occupancy affects peristalsis and passage of stool, and often the shape of stool gradually changes, with thinning of stool and reduction of stool volume.

② blood in the stool or blood in the stool, colorectal cancer patients will be blood in the stool mistaken for hemorrhoids, thus delaying the condition of the people, intestinal malignant tumors of the blood in the stool, the early stage of the blood and stool mixing is mainly, in severe cases, the tumor tissue invades the blood vessels, can be blood in the stool, the blood color is dark, the blood is very dark. The blood in the stool is dark red in color.

③ Abdominal mass, left hemi-colon cancer can be touched in the left side of the abdomen or left side of the navel; right hemi-colon cancer can be touched in the right side of the abdomen

④ Abdominal pain and distension, colon cancer patients have abdominal pain and distension which is gradually aggravated and caused by the infiltration of tumor into the intestinal mucosa. It is mostly caused by tumor infiltration and penetration of intestinal mucosa. After the intestinal obstruction and function is affected, patients may show abdominal distension and indigestion with little food.

⑤With the aggravation of the disease, the patient loses weight, and metastasis can occur in the late stage, such as liver, bone, lung and other organs. At the same time, anemia, emaciation, ascites, fever and other cachexia can occur. At this point, the prognosis is poor and the survival rate is low.

? Diagnosis of colorectal cancer

①Enteroscopy and histopathologic examination is the gold standard

Enteroscopy can detect malignant intestinal polyps at an early stage and treat them in a timely manner, and at this time, there is no effect on the body's health. Polyps that develop into malignant tumors can be viewed through colonoscopy to see if they are lumpy, infiltrative, or ulcerative. Pathological biopsies are used to define the cytological type and to establish the stage, for example, adenocarcinoma, mucinous adenocarcinoma and undifferentiated carcinoma, the more differentiated, the less malignant.

② Rectal diagnosis can be early detection of rectal cancer, rectal diagnosis is a common diagnostic method of anorectal medicine, simple and easy to carry out, there is a diagnostic value, but the majority of people are afraid of the diagnostic method, so as to miss the optimal time for treatment.

③ Other diagnostics, such as persistent positive fecal occult blood, abnormally elevated tumor markers (e.g., carcinoembryonic antigen CEA and glycoantigen 199), and the existence of a correlation with the tumor, should be given sufficient attention.

III. How to prevent colorectal cancer

①Regular review of colonoscopy

Regular review of colonoscopy is mainly for colorectal cancer in high-risk groups, such as familial adenomatous intestinal polyps and the occurrence of intestinal malignant tumors in the immediate family members of the population, it is recommended that people over forty years of age need to be reviewed on a regular basis to carry out colonoscopy. Effective monitoring and surveillance; long-term alcohol consumption, while often consuming salted fish, processed meat products, leftovers, barbecue and deep-fried food, also belongs to the high-risk group, can be regularly checked colonoscopy, to prevent the occurrence of intestinal tumors; ulcerative colitis patients also need to do regular colonoscopy monitoring, and active treatment, control the progress of the disease, to prevent the occurrence of malignant changes.

② the impact of dietary habits

To avoid the onset of intestinal tumors, you can reduce the intake of food containing nitrites and benzo(a)pyrene, such as barbecue fried, pickled foods.

Increase the intake of crude fiber foods, as well as fresh fruits, vegetables, mushrooms and so on.

③ Develop good habits

Adopt a regular bowel habit, rest on time, proper exercise, avoid staying up late, nervousness, anxiety and other bad moods, quit smoking and limit the alcohol, proper exercise, you can do walking, jogging, dancing, and other aerobic exercise, to increase the physical fitness, to improve the own The most important thing to remember is that it is not a good idea to have a good time.

Summary:

Early detection, early diagnosis, early treatment is the magic weapon to restrain all tumors, colorectal cancer is no exception.

Although the disease shows a trend of youthfulness, and the morbidity and mortality rate is relatively high, the high-risk groups can effectively prevent and block the development of colorectal cancer by regular colonoscopy. The health of the population can be routine physical examination, early detection, early treatment, can achieve the purpose of long-term survival, do not have to be overly nervous and anxious.

Good and regular living habits, a positive and optimistic mindset, and a healthy and reasonable diet structure can bring out one's own immunity and prevent the occurrence of tumors. With the progress of medical science, I believe that in the future, it is not a dream to overcome the tumor!

Finally, I hope my answer is helpful to you!

Bowel cancer belongs to a kind of digestive tract tumor. Bowel cancer generally refers to colorectal cancer, including colon cancer and rectal cancer, and rectal cancer is common in our country, and the morbidity and mortality rates of colorectal cancer in all malignant tumors are the fifth in epidemiological statistics.

Bowel cancer mostly occurs in middle-aged and old people over 40 years old, in which rectal cancer is more common in men, why is it appearing in young people now?

The cause of colorectal cancer is still unclear, and it is generally believed that it is related to various factors such as environment, dietary habits, and heredity. The occurrence of colorectal cancer is closely related to dietary habits, and it is generally believed that a diet low in fiber, high in fat, high in protein, and lacking in trace elements and vitamins is an important factor in the occurrence of colorectal cancer.

Nowadays, many young people are especially keen on deep-fried, barbecued, pickled, smoked and other foods, not knowing that these foods (especially irregular production) contain a large number of nitrites and nitrosamines, which are carcinogenic substances that can cause tumors. And like to stay up late for a long time, causing endocrine disorders, low immunity, leaving a chance for the tumor.

In addition, genetic factors are also a reason not to be ignored, most of these patients are relatively young, usually with a family history, in which the cancer rate of familial adenomatous polyposis is higher than that of healthy people. Smoking, obesity, stress is also a risk factor for colorectal cancer, so it is not unreasonable to lose weight.

Nowadays, gastroenteroscopy is advocated, so which group of people should pay more attention to routine gastroenteroscopy?

How to prevent it? That is to pay attention to the diet to maintain a high-fiber, low-fat diet, eat more fruits and vegetables, to maintain smooth stools, happy mood.

Although the incidence of bowel cancer is high, the risk of its development can be reduced through effective prevention. As far as cancer prevention is concerned, there are primary prevention, secondary prevention and tertiary prevention.

Primary prevention is to prevent cancer from occurring by eliminating the causes or avoiding exposure to carcinogenic substances, i.e. prevention from the causes. Bowel cancer is closely related to environmental factors and lifestyle, and the main risk factors for bowel cancer are high-fat, high-protein and low-fiber diet.

Due to the development of economy, people's living standard is improving, the amount of fat and protein intake from diet is increasing rapidly, which becomes the main reason for the increasing incidence of colorectal cancer. Secondly, precancerous lesions and bad habits are also common causes of colorectal cancer.

From the known factors related to the development of colon cancer, the prevention of colon cancer should pay attention to the following aspects:

Normally, colon cancer is not rare in minors, and the incidence rate of patients under the age of 20 years is only 0.2%, although this can not be said to be not serious. The Journal of the American College of Surgeons has published a study that suggests that colon cancer may be more deadly in children and adolescents than in adults.

The main reasons for this are the following: first, the symptoms of its clinical stages appear later, early diagnosis rate is low; second, the pathological type of malignancy is high, and easy to metastasize; third, as with adults, surgical cure rate is low; fourth, postoperative adjuvant therapy is lacking.

For bowel cancer, it is best to focus on prevention

First of all, good eating habits, weight control and exercise, can reduce their cancer risk by more than 40%, this is not my words, but the American Health Foundation summary.

Forty years ago, bowel cancer was almost unheard of by the general public, but it has now become the fifth leading cause of cancer deaths in China, after lung, stomach, esophageal and liver cancers. I think it goes without saying that we can all imagine that with the rise in economic income, people are used to eating meat, and have long disdained the "plain food" of the past.

What factors increase the risk of bowel cancer?

1. Processed meat, red meat:

Processed meat: sausages, ham, bacon, hot dogs, etc., which are recognized as a class 1 carcinogen.

Red meat (e.g. beef, lamb, pork) also increases the risk of bowel cancer when more than 500 grams are consumed per week.

2. Alcohol consumption: Studies have shown that alcohol intake increases the risk of more than a dozen types of cancer, including, of course, the one we are talking about here, bowel cancer.

3. Eating too few vegetables and fruits: as we all know, these foods are rich in dietary fiber, which can play the role of antioxidant and block carcinogens (mainly ammonium nitrite).

4. Overweight and obesity: Obesity can cause 13 different types of cancer, including bowel, breast, uterine and kidney cancer. That's why it's been reported that 1 in 20 cancers can be prevented if a healthy weight is maintained.

If you do this right, the incidence of bowel cancer will be reduced by at least half

1. Eat more roughage, return to the green diet: often, there is nothing wrong with going back to the basics, because these grains, fruits and vegetables can promote intestinal motility, and is also the intestinal probiotics of the "food". Comparing the two, whole grain dietary fiber is stronger than vegetable fiber in preventing bowel cancer.

Recommended vegetables, fruits, citrus, strawberries, cruciferous vegetables (such as broccoli, white cauliflower, cabbage, greens, kale, mustard greens, watercress, arugula, etc.), as well as spinach and other leafy greens rich in folic acid and chlorophyll. In addition, scientists at Korea's Hanlin University found that carrots, celery olive oil, green peppers, chamomile tea, mint, etc. have an inhibitory effect on cancer cells.

2. Exercise: Exercise not only reduces the risk of obesity, but also reduces constipation caused by low intestinal motility, which is beneficial to the prevention of bowel cancer.

3, reduce the consumption of the above risk factors: do not eat white rice and white flour, minimize the consumption of processed meat products, no more than 75 grams of red meat per day, and limit the intake of alcohol. Of course, although bowel cancer and smoking is not associated, but smoking is after all an important factor in the development of many other tumors and cancers.

I hope my answer is helpful to you, please pay attention, I would like to continue to update the relevant medical issues

In recent years, the incidence of bowel cancer in China has increased significantly, and I often hear that some people have been diagnosed with bowel cancer at a young age. Bowel cancer has insidious symptoms in its early stages, so what should we do to prevent it?

Watching the news another young man died of bowel cancer, bowel cancer how so terrible, can be prevented?

Generally speaking, patients in the early stage of bowel cancer will not show obvious symptoms, but with the aggravation of the disease, patients will show some typical manifestations, such as changes in bowel habits, shape of feces, increase in the number of bowel movements, or constipation, blood, pus, etc.; persistent pain in the abdomen ; the abdomen appears nodular mass; patients may also have weakness, anemia, low fever, edema and other symptoms. The emergence of intestinal cancer and the patient's diet has a close relationship, long-term diet is too greasy, dietary fiber intake is insufficient, smoking, drinking and other bad habits can easily lead to the emergence of intestinal cancer, in addition, intestinal cancer has a certain genetic susceptibility.

Therefore, to prevent bowel cancer, we need to actively correct bad habits, reasonable diet, diet should be reasonable meat and vegetables, if the family relatives have bowel cancer, then should be checked in the hospital to exclude, and regularly to the annual review.

Recently heard such news, one after another in the hospital, ears always hear such content.

Three days ago a very well-known professor of our orthopedic department died. A few days ago he was fine and said he was gone.

The same day I heard about an even more well-known professor who also had a problem, rectal cancer.

Why is this?

I was in a cold sweat when I heard this stuff. Because this is something that I know how to prevent, and it came all too suddenly.

What's the best way to combat it?

Just two things.

Number 1 get a colonoscopy. People at a certain age 45 and up, every three years, I think it's all right. There's a lot more than we realize, and the sooner the better.

Second, humans nowadays eat too much meat and less activity. There is one thing that is best for high fiber, and that is groundnuts. Eating more of it is definitely good for you.

Of course, you need to know that these and genes are very much related, but knowing the above 2 points can save a lot of people.
