1. Reasons for the increase of cancer incidence 1. The improvement of people's average life expectancy
Once upon a time, fifty people knew the destiny, but seventy people were rare since ancient times. Now with the improvement of living conditions and medical conditions, the average life expectancy of the people has also been greatly improved, and the proportion of middle-aged and elderly people in society is getting higher and higher. The incidence of cancer increases with age. The older you get, the worse your immunity is, and the higher your chance of getting a tumor.
2. Improvement of medical level
In the past, only by listening, listening and asking questions, coupled with the application of modern advanced medical equipment, tumors were diagnosed early. In the past, most patients died without knowing what disease it was, and cancer was probably one of them.
Environmental pollution is becoming more and more serious.
It used to be beautiful. Now with the increase of traffic, factories and household appliances, fertilizers, the environment and diet have been seriously polluted. Promote the human body to produce a large number of toxic substances such as free radicals. Under appropriate conditions, these factors combine to induce the mutation of normal cells in the body, leading to the occurrence of tumors.
4. Changes in life and eating habits
People used to cook at sunrise and rest at sunset, with thin rice, thick soup and light tea. Modern people's irregular work and rest, smoking and drinking, high-fat diet and liking smoked food will all increase the incidence of tumors and endanger people's health.
5. There is something wrong with food safety
Once upon a time, people had a home-cooked meal at home, and its taste was endless. Nowadays, people eat less and less natural food and more and more processed food. Many genetically modified foods, food additives and pesticide residues in food will affect our health.
6. Increased social and psychological pressure
In the past, people were self-sufficient and did not compete with the world. Modern people are facing all kinds of pressures. Anxiety and busyness make people secrete too much cortisol, which disturbs and weakens the function of human immune system.
How do people over 50 prevent and treat cancer? 1. Changing unhealthy lifestyle can prevent cancer.
The World Health Organization believes that cancer is a lifestyle disease. Smoking, obesity, lack of exercise, unreasonable eating habits, alcoholism, excessive stress and psychological stress are all risk factors for cancer.
Dr. Park suggested that people over 50 should:
Quit smoking and limit alcohol, eat reasonably,
Proper exercise, regular work and rest,
Release the pressure and feel comfortable.
Second, standardized anti-cancer physical examination can detect cancer early.
1. Regular anti-cancer physical examination can help us find early cancer or precancerous lesions and carry out early intervention.
2. The current technical means can find most common cancers at an early stage. For example, low-dose spiral CT can detect lung cancer, ultrasound combined with molybdenum target can detect breast cancer, and endoscope can detect digestive tract cancer.
3. Early diagnosis and treatment is the key to improve the survival rate of cancer.
1. The therapeutic effect and survival time of cancer are closely related to the time when cancer is found. The earlier it is found, the better the treatment effect and the longer the survival time.
2. Pay attention to the cancer danger signals in the body, and go to the hospital for treatment in time if the following symptoms appear:
(1) Abnormal mass on body surface;
② The color of body surface nevus will deepen or deepen in a short time;
3 abnormal sensation in the body: suffocation, pain, etc. ;
④ Skin or mucosal ulcer that can't heal for a long time;

⑥ Changes in stool habits and traits or blood;
⑦ Persistent hoarseness, dry cough and blood in sputum;
8. Abnormal hearing, nosebleeds and headaches;
