How to prevention of cancer, do you know?

     The International Anti-Cancer Alliance believes that one-third of cancers can be prevented, one-third of cancers can be cured if diagnosed early, and one-third of cancers can alleviate pain and prolong life. Based on this, the concept of three-level prevention of malignant tumors is proposed:

    Primary prevention is to eliminate or reduce the factors that may cause cancer and prevent the occurrence of cancer. About 80% of cancers are related to the environment and living habits. Improving living habits, such as quitting smoking, restricting drinking, diversifying food, eating less pickled food, controlling weight, exercising appropriately, paying attention to environmental protection, identifying carcinogens and cancer-promoting agents in the environment, and strengthening occupational protection are all important prevention measures. Cancer measures. In recent years, both immunoprevention and chemoprevention belong to primary prevention, such as mass vaccination of hepatitis B vaccine, selective cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) inhibitor for colorectal adenoma chemoprevention, etc.


    Secondary prevention refers to how once cancer occurs, how to detect it at an early stage and treat it in time. Including: 

①Awareness and attention to cancer danger signals (such as persistent dyspepsia, postmenopausal vaginal bleeding, changes in bowel habits, long-term ulcers, etc.); 

②Regular inspections of high-risk areas and high-risk groups; 

③Detecting precancerous lesions Timely treatment; 

④Strengthen monitoring of susceptible people; 

⑤Tumor self-examination (regular self-examination of exposed parts of the body).


    Tertiary prevention is rehabilitation after treatment to prevent the deterioration of the condition, improve the quality of life, reduce pain and prolong life.
