At present, the most likely cancers to be cured include: cervical cancer, breast cancer, testicular cancer, prostate cancer, melanoma, thyroid cancer, Hodgkin's lymphoma and so on. The five-year survival rate of these cancers is very high, and the earlier they are found, the greater the possibility of cure.
The medical cure of cancer is not necessarily a real cure, and it will not recur in the future, but a clinical cure, that is, the trend of cancer deterioration and development is controlled, and cancer will not have harmful effects on health. Then the criteria for declaring cancer cure can generally refer to the following four criteria:
First, the test results are normal. Routine blood tests and routine urine tests are routine monitoring tests for cancer patients. When cancer has not been cured, these indicators will be abnormal. If the cancer has been cured by treatment, the relevant laboratory indicators will return to normal levels and remain relatively stable.
Second, the blood sugar and blood lipid indicators returned to normal. In the process of cancer treatment, patients usually test thyroid, blood sugar, blood lipid and other data. When these data return to normal, they can also be used as one of the references for cancer cure.
Third, related cancer markers returned to normal. When cancer occurs in human body, because cancer cells will produce certain substances or cause human body to release certain substances, people can find the existence of the substances through medical technology, so as to find the tumor and make a diagnosis. Then after the cancer is cured, the level of the substance will return to a healthy level, so the examination of markers is very important and is the key to the cure of cancer.
Fourth, the five-year survival rate and metastasis rate. Generally speaking, there is less talk about the cure rate of cancer now, but more about the five-year survival rate and five-year metastasis rate of cancer, that is, the proportion of cancer patients who relapse or metastasize within five years after treatment and judgment. Most cancers that occur in humans now may recur within five years after treatment, and the recurrence rate may be greatly reduced after five years. Therefore, taking about five years as the dividing line, if the patient has no recurrence or metastasis after five years of treatment and rehabilitation, it can be regarded as a complete cure.
The process of cancer treatment is long and painful, and there is a great possibility of recurrence after treatment. So prevention in daily life is an important way to keep us away from cancer. What should we pay attention to in daily life to prevent cancer?
give up smoking
Tobacco can produce more than 60 carcinogens after burning. At present, it is found that many cancers in the body are directly related to smoking, such as lung cancer and laryngeal cancer. And other liver cancer, intestinal cancer and gastric cancer are also directly or indirectly affected by smoking. At the same time, second-hand smoke is more harmful, so we should pay attention to avoid inhaling second-hand smoke while quitting smoking in daily life.
give up drinking
Alcohol is an important risk factor for liver cancer, so reducing drinking and exercising more will reduce the burden on our liver.
Keep a good mood
Studies have shown that a happy mood can make the body secrete substances that are beneficial to resisting cancer cells. Good emotions, such as happiness, cheerfulness, optimism, satisfaction and identity, can make the functions of neuroendocrine system in the body coordinate and balance, secrete beneficial biochemical substances, and enhance the body's ability to resist diseases. Therefore, it is particularly important to keep a good mood in daily life.
