Will the tumor suddenly grow out? Suddenly getting bigger?

"I am young and have good physical fitness. It doesn't matter if I stay up all night. "

"Doctor, I am so young, how can I get cancer?"

......

Jokes about young people on the Internet:

Stay up the last night, eat the best supper and drink the strongest wine.

With the accelerated pace of life.

Nowadays, young people often have stress, tension and anxiety.

I can't eat well and sleep well.

Obesity, alopecia, insomnia, endocrine disorders and even cancer.

Physical condition often shows a red light.

In February, the famous musician Zhao Yingjun died of cancer.

It makes people feel sad and sorry.

While regretting, netizens have also reflected on their health problems.

Why does Cancer love to find young people more and more?

What can we do to prevent cancer?

Expert of Cancer Center of Union Medical College Hospital

Take you to know from the perspective of a tumor cell.

cancer cell

Help you understand the health misunderstanding!

Tumor = cancer?

I am a tumor cell. As a member of the tumor family, I am small, but my family is huge. Our tumor family is divided into two factions. The "cancer" that everyone hates is also called malignant tumor, which is a kind of tumor. Tumors can be divided into benign and malignant. Malignant tumors originating from epithelial tissues are often called cancer, and there are more detailed divisions from a professional point of view. Let me briefly introduce two sects in my family to you!

Benign tumor and malignant tumor

There is a saying called "Talking about cancer discoloration". Many people are wondering if I (tumor) will suddenly grow out and suddenly become bigger.

Generally speaking, the development of tumors takes a long time, which is one of the reasons why middle-aged and elderly people are more likely to suffer from tumors, but in fact, every age group has the possibility of suffering from tumors. Under normal circumstances, cancer progresses faster and is more aggressive. Cancer cells will break the barrier of the original organs or tissues and "migrate" to other parts, which is why we say that they are cancerous.

Don't underestimate me

Both men, women and children are at risk of cancer.

Some people say that I only look for middle-aged and elderly people.

Then you are wrong.

I won't let young people go either.

In recent years, the incidence of cancer is getting younger and younger. What is even more worrying is that the malignancy of young people seems to be higher. According to the statistics released by China Cancer Center, during the period of 20 17, there were 15-44 male cancer cases153,000, and the top five with higher incidence rates were liver cancer, thyroid cancer, lung cancer, colorectal cancer and gastric cancer. The total number of new cases among young women is 244,300, among which the incidence of breast cancer, thyroid cancer, cervical cancer, lung cancer and ovarian cancer is higher.

Usually young people have these cancers.

Its early symptoms are mainly as follows:

0 1

Thyroid cancer is a kind of cancer that young people are prone to at present. Its early symptoms are not obvious, but as long as you pay attention, there will still be some abnormal manifestations in your body. For example, thyroid nodules are obviously enlarged, the texture is hard, and the up-and-down activity is small when swallowing. It may also be accompanied by hoarseness, dyspnea, dysphagia, and hard lymph nodes around the neck and thyroid.

02

The early symptoms of intestinal cancer are more obvious, such as the change of defecation habits, diarrhea or constipation will appear alternately, and there is often an endless feeling of defecation after defecation. Abdominal pain and bloating, usually in the lower abdomen. There will also be systemic symptoms such as anemia, weight loss and low fever.

03

In the early stage of breast cancer, a lump the size of a broad bean can be felt in the breast, which is hard and movable and generally has no obvious pain. The local breast skin of the lump bulges, and some skin will have orange peel-like changes. Abnormal phenomena such as nipple depression, erosion, overflow and bleeding. Some people also have swollen axillary lymph nodes.

04

Gastric cancer is a kind of cancer closely related to food. There will be epigastric discomfort in the early stage, which is manifested as stomach pain, fullness and heaviness after meals. In the early stage of gastric cancer, the gastric mucosa is seriously damaged, the gastric acid secretion is abnormal, and the digestive system has problems, so there will be symptoms such as loss of appetite, vomiting and gastric acid reflux. Sometimes the color of feces will change, showing black or tarry stool.

Why are young people targeted by tumors?

The reason why young people are targeted by me (tumor)

Oncologists believe that

Except for susceptibility caused in part by genes.

Most of them are related to excessive consumption of health.

So don't blame me.

These unhealthy lifestyles

So I came to you:

personal element

Behind "996" and "007" are the bad living habits of modern young people, which is a catalyst for cancer to some extent. The main catalysts are as follows:

0 1

Strive to be a "champion staying up late"

For various reasons, staying up late is a habit of young people. Staying up late for a long time will break the original biological clock of the human body and lead to the loss of some tumor suppressor genes; Staying up late reduces the body's immunity, and the immune system's ability to recognize and kill cancer cells is weakened; Staying up late leads to endocrine dysfunction, excessive proliferation of some cells and canceration.

02

Not spicy or unpleasant, the colder the better.

Young people like to eat spicy food, such as hot pot, mala Tang, barbecue and so on. Sometimes accompanied by cold beer, iced coke and other cold drinks. Delicious food in the eyes of these young people will increase the incidence of gastric cancer and esophageal cancer. Moreover, some young people eat irregularly, often hungry, full, eat midnight snack and so on. It will affect the function of gastrointestinal tract and increase the chance of developing gastric cancer.

03

"Life lies in stillness"

Many young people are busy with work and study, and sometimes they sit for a long time without much exercise. Long-term sedentary greatly increases the risk of cancer.

04

The pressure of life and study.

The competition in modern society is fierce, and there is competition and pressure everywhere in life. If you are under high pressure for a long time, your immune function will decline and your neuroendocrine function will be disordered, which will easily lead to cancer.

05

The idea of "I am young and I am meaningless"

Many young people feel that they are in good health because they are young, so they often overdraw their bodies for work and study. Even if they are sick, they will take them with them. If you don't go to the hospital, you always feel that you can stand it. These ideas will make young people ignore the early tumor signals, miss the best treatment opportunity, and give cancer an opportunity.

Long-term irregular life and excessive mental stress will lead to impaired neuroendocrine function of the body. On the one hand, there may be some perceptible manifestations, such as obesity, headache, dizziness, hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia and so on; On the other hand, it may affect the function of our endocrine-immune system. Young people's metabolism is vigorous, new and dividing cells are vulnerable to carcinogens, and the body will have genetic mutations, which will eventually lead to the invasion of tumor cells.

environmental factor

Air pollution, radiation pollution and chemical pollution give tumors an opportunity. In addition, excessive exposure to food additives may also be the cause of cancer.

Tumor regeneration

What can we do?

Prevention and treatment of almost all diseases

They all emphasize a healthy and reasonable lifestyle.

If you remember these good habits.

I am most afraid that you will get sick.

Finding you is even less!

I am most afraid of you doing these things:

0 1

Afraid of your regular routine.

Work and rest regularly, go to bed early and get up early, try not to stay up late, don't strive to be the champion of staying up late, and keep enough sleep. It is suggested that newborns sleep 14 ~ 17 hours a day, children aged 3 ~ 5 sleep/kloc-0 ~13 hours, and school-age children aged 6 ~ 13 sleep 9 ~1hour. Therefore, work and rest regularly, don't stay up late, and keep your body's normal biological clock.

02

Afraid of your reasonable diet

Reasonable diet, eating food should not only pursue good taste, but also consider the role of food itself on the body. In fact, some cancers are eaten. Although some foods are delicious and enjoyable, cancer will come to you if you eat them for a long time. For example:

① Excessive diet is one of the causes of esophageal cancer. The human esophageal mucosa is very fragile and can only tolerate the temperature of 50 -60℃. However, if the temperature of hot pot, mala Tang and other foods exceeds this temperature, the mucosa will be scalded, and it will be repeatedly damaged after long-term consumption, which will eventually lead to mucosal cancer.

(2) Spicy and smoked food will cause gastric cancer, especially smoked food, which will produce a large number of carcinogens such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and protein will decompose at high temperature, especially when scorched.

③ Colorectal cancer is a lifestyle cancer. If you like to eat red meat for a long time, such as high cholesterol foods such as beef, pork, mutton and animal offal, it will greatly increase the risk of colorectal cancer, so you should try to reduce your consumption.

④ The occurrence of breast cancer is related to a high-fat and high-calorie diet. Therefore, having a good eating habit is very beneficial to prevent the occurrence of cancer. Nutrition intake should be balanced and comprehensive to avoid overeating. Overweight and obesity are related to many types of cancer, such as esophageal cancer, colorectal cancer, breast cancer, endometrial cancer and renal cancer. The high content of fruits and vegetables in the diet may play a protective role against a variety of cancers.

On the contrary, excessive consumption of red meat and cured meat may increase the risk of colorectal cancer. In addition, healthy eating habits that prevent diet-related cancers can also reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases.

03

I'm afraid you don't smoke or drink.

Quit smoking and limit alcohol. Tobacco use is the single most avoidable risk factor for cancer deaths worldwide, which is estimated to cause 22% of cancer deaths every year. Drinking alcohol is a risk factor for many cancers, including oral cancer, throat cancer, esophageal cancer, liver cancer, colorectal cancer and breast cancer. With the increase of alcohol intake, the risk of cancer will also increase. If people smoke a lot while drinking a lot, the risk of developing a variety of cancers will greatly increase.

04

I'm afraid you like exercise.

Proper exercise. Reasonable and scientific exercise can strengthen people's physique, improve immunity and relieve tension, so reasonable exercise can prevent cancer. Therefore, "life lies in exercise" is particularly important on the road of cancer prevention. Everyone should develop a suitable exercise mode, such as aerobic exercise running, running for more than 150 minutes a week and running for more than 30 minutes a day.

05

I am afraid you have a healthy mind.

A healthy attitude, one of the important signs of a healthy lifestyle, is a healthy and sunny attitude.

06

I'm afraid you have regular physical examination and are highly sensitive to tumors.

Being sensitive to cancer signals, our bodies sometimes send out distress signals. If you have the following problems, you should actively pay attention to your physical condition and go to a regular hospital for examination. Of course, regular physical examination also helps us to find physical abnormalities as soon as possible. Cancer physical examination is different from general physical examination. Different cancer risk groups have different physical examination methods to choose from. For example, lung cancer, you can choose low-dose spiral CT of the chest. Breast cancer: molybdenum target+ultrasound. Liver cancer: detection of ultrasound and +AFP in blood. Colorectal cancer, gastric cancer and esophageal cancer: colonoscopy and gastroscopy.

When you look into the abyss

The abyss is staring at you, too

Youth is not a wasted capital.

Young people should be positive.

Maintain sunshine, vitality and health.

Get rid of bad hygiene habits

From now on!
