These 5 types of people are more likely to get cancer! If you are in this situation, be sure to take precautions!

There are always people asking what kind of people are more likely to get cancer? Today, based on clinical experience, I will tell you that these 5 types of people are more likely to get cancer than others . If you are one of them, you must be careful!

1. Patients with bullous emphysema

Especially for emphysema caused by smoking, the probability of developing lung cancer is more than twice that of normal people, and once a tumor appears, it usually grows faster than normal people. It is important to have a CT scan at least once a year. In addition, lung function must be protected. If lung function declines severely, sometimes it is difficult to cure lung cancer surgically even if it is discovered in the early stages!

2. People infected with Helicobacter pylori

Helicobacter pylori is a very clear pathogenic factor of gastric cancer. Patients with repeated Helicobacter pylori infection are four to five times more likely to develop gastric cancer than adults. Helicobacter pylori can be transmitted among family members, and sometimes family clusters of gastric cancer can occur.

3. Patients with ground glass nodules

Ground glass nodules or mixed ground glass nodules in the lungs are more likely to be malignant than solid nodules. About 10% to 20% of patients with ground glass nodules are eventually diagnosed as malignant. Patients with ground glass nodules should closely observe the changes in the nodules. If they grow larger, surgical resection should be considered to avoid delaying the disease to the late stage!

4. Chronic hepatitis B patients and carriers

The hepatitis B virus is similar to other viruses. After infecting cells, it will insert its own genetic material into the human cell genes, which may cause gene mutations and cause liver cancer!
