my country is a country with a high incidence of gastric cancer, with 456,000 new cases and 390,000 deaths in 2018, accounting for about 44.1% and 49.9% of the world's total. However, the diagnosis rate of early gastric cancer in China is still less than 20%, and the five-year survival rate of gastric cancer patients is only 27.4%. The prognosis of gastric cancer is closely related to the timing of diagnosis and treatment. The 5-year survival rate of early gastric cancer exceeds 90%, while that of advanced gastric cancer is less than 20%. Since gastric cancer often lacks symptoms in its early stages, it is mostly discovered during routine examinations, and screening has become an important way to detect early gastric cancer. Gastric cancer high risk signs People with stomach problems are prone to relapse if they catch a cold, eat bad food, fail to eat on time, stay up late for a long time without exercise, overeat, or are depressed and stressed. When suffering from chronic stomach problems, few people would associate those symptoms with stomach cancer. However, 700,000 new patients are diagnosed with stomach cancer every year, and their fate changes drastically because of this lucky coincidence. When the following situations occur, you need to do a gastroscopy examination and don't delay it. For potential gastric cancer patients, timely examination can really change their fate: 01. The nature of the pain has changed The characteristic of stomach pain caused by chronic stomach disease and gastric ulcer is that it is regular. The pain usually occurs half an hour after a meal or when you are hungry before a meal. When common old stomach problems begin to turn into cancer, the nature of the stomach pain changes, becoming irregular and lasting longer and longer, and the stomach medicine that usually works well starts to become ineffective. 02.Suddenly lose appetite and become thinner If you have no other physical discomfort recently, but your appetite has suddenly and inexplicably decreased, you do not want to eat or cannot eat, and your weight is rapidly decreasing, you should see if there is something wrong with your body and you should definitely have a physical examination. 03. Black stool There are only two situations in which black stools will be produced. One is eating too much animal blood products, beef, pork liver, bayberry jam, mulberry jam, etc., and the other is gastrointestinal bleeding. Generally speaking, if black stools are caused by bleeding from gastric cancer, the gastric cancer is likely to have reached the middle or late stages. How to prevent gastric cancer To prevent gastric cancer, the best, most direct and most scientific method is to have regular physical examinations, especially regular gastroscopy. No matter whether it is a major problem or a minor problem, a gastroscopy examination only takes less than half an hour, and all problems, big and small, can be "found out". The above high-risk groups for gastric cancer and people with the above 4 high-risk signals need to have gastroscopy even more! In addition to gastroscopy, prevention of gastric cancer also requires long-term and comprehensive systemic resistance enhancement "operations", namely: Go to bed early and get up early and don’t stay up late; exercise more often; eat three meals regularly with light tastes; pay attention to the combination of coarse and fine food, as well as meat and vegetables; eat more fresh fruits and vegetables. These are also some principles that apply to the prevention of all cancers. If you can stick to them and have regular physical examinations, there will generally be no major problems with your body. |
