Soon after, I found him. He asked for leave for her birthday and came from far away to celebrate her birthday. They have known each other for five or six years, and so far there is no result. Because of stomach cancer, the family took her husband back and gave her money for treatment. Now she has taken anticancer drugs for two years and recovered.
After more than two months of epigastric pain, I went to the hospital. The doctor advised her to have a gastroscope, but she refused because she was afraid of doing it. She thought that her stomach ulcer had recurred when she was young, so she went to the drugstore to buy some medicine. Symptoms are repeated, but because she is busy with work, she doesn't care too much. Last September, her stomach symptoms worsened and she had to go to Beijing Hospital. She had a gastroscopy and was diagnosed with gastric cancer. Further CT scan showed that her gastric cancer had peripheral lymph node metastasis, and many cancer cells had distant metastasis, and she was taking anticancer drugs.
In China, the incidence of gastric cancer has risen from the fourth place to the second place, becoming the second most common malignant tumor after lung cancer, and the mortality rate is second only to lung cancer. Although the early detection rate of gastric cancer in developed areas such as Beishangguang has gradually increased to about 20%, which may benefit from the advantages of medical care and education, the detection rate of early gastric cancer in China is still around 10%.
Gastric cancer is one of the main causes of cancer death, largely because it is found late, because most people have no obvious stomach symptoms in the early stage of the disease, and when obvious symptoms are found, it is already in the middle and late stage. Fang Jing, the former host of CCTV's Focus Interview, died of stomach cancer at the age of 40.
The occurrence of gastric cancer seems to be silent and there is no way to prevent it. Actually, it is not. The occurrence of gastric cancer is "Rome was not built in a day", which is usually caused by long-term bad living habits, pathogenic factors and self-induced factors. So how can we prevent gastric cancer? Here are some suggestions:
The etiology of gastric cancer is complex, but there are relatively recognized risk factors at present, such as not working overtime for a long time, eating on time, smoking and drinking for a long time, liking to eat pickled food, high-salt food, fried food, Helicobacter pylori infection and so on. Therefore, to prevent gastric cancer, we should start from getting rid of these bad habits, eat less pickled, high-salt and smoked food, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, and quit smoking and drinking.
Gastric cancer has become the most common malignant tumor in digestive system. Early gastric cancer not only has hidden symptoms, but also is not easy to attract attention because of common stomach diseases. In the high-risk group of gastric cancer, "old stomach disease" and other pain properties change regularly, and there is no history of stomach disease and abdominal discomfort that can not be relieved suddenly. When conventional treatment fails, the possibility of gastric cancer should be considered and ruled out. Teacher Lin is a typical textbook. Don't paralyze yourself or avoid seeing a doctor when doing the examination.
In addition, the exam should be correct and targeted. Gastric cancer originated from mucosa. Gastroscope is the most direct and effective method to diagnose stomach diseases, which can directly observe the real situation in the stomach. However, in general health examination, such as blood examination of tumor markers, abdominal ultrasound and CT, it is difficult to find early lesions. For example, gastric cancer with a diameter over 1cm can only be found by current CT, which is not suitable for early detection of gastric cancer.
Treat atrophic gastritis and gastric polyp, and preventively remove precancerous lesions or precancerous diseases. Friends with family history of gastric cancer, residents in high-risk areas of gastric cancer and other high-risk factors suggest treating Helicobacter pylori, which is a kind of carcinogen recognized by the World Health Organization. The significance of preventing gastric cancer after radical eradication of Helicobacter pylori has been recognized.
China, Japan and South Korea are high incidence areas of gastric cancer, and Korea and Japan are also high incidence countries of gastric cancer, but the early detection rate is very high, which greatly improves the cure rate. Compared with Korea and Japan, our incidence of early gastric cancer is very low. Although the treatment level is similar, the overall treatment effect is greatly reduced because it is mainly in the middle and late stages.
Whether gastric cancer can be detected early and whether there are chords in the brain to prevent gastric cancer are also important. The chance of early treatment is a pity. I hope that after reading this article, everyone will have some new correct understanding of active prevention.
