Oncology control from a scientific perspective
In the long rivers of human history, tumors, as a category of disease, have long been an important area of medical exploration. From ancient superstition to modern science, human awareness of tumours has gone through a long and twisted process. Today, as science and technology rapidly develop, we are finally able to look at this age-old and young disease from a scientific perspective, making great strides not only in treatment but also in prevention. Tumours are tumours formed in certain tissues of the body as a result of uncontrolled cell growth. It is one of the major subjects of modern medical research, the causes of which are complex and involve a variety of factors, including genetics, the environment and lifestyles. However, it is this complexity that provides a wealth of material for tumour science. Through science, we are not only able to improve public understanding of tumours, but we are also more effective in raising social awareness of tumour control. Throughout history, human awareness of tumours has evolved from fear to exploration. Contemporary medicine often treats tumors as a punishment or as a bad omen, and treatments are also full of mysticalism. However, as science developed, oncology gradually emerged from the shadow of superstition. In the eighteenth century, Dr. Xavier Bichat introduced cytology for the first time, laying the foundation for tumour studies; at the beginning of the twentieth century, the discovery of radioactive elements provided the possibility for radiotherapy of tumours. Today, with the development of molecular biology, our understanding of the tumour gene has deepened and our treatments have become more diverse. In the course of tumours, we cannot ignore the impact of social phenomena on tumour control. In modern societies, high work stress, high tempo of life, unhealthy habits, etc. are common. These factors increase the incidence of tumours unwittingly. Thus, the promotion of a healthy lifestyle, such as a reasonable diet, adequate exercise and abdication of alcohol, is an important element of the oncology system. Cultural traditions also provide a unique perspective for oncology. In China, Chinese medicine has a history of thousands of years and has accumulated extensive experience in disease prevention and treatment. With regard to the prevention and treatment of tumours, Chinese medicine is based on a holistic approach and on the identification of treatments, with emphasis on the balance of the sun and the haematology, complementing modern tumour treatments. The combination of Chinese and western medicine enables it to take advantage of Western medical precision and to build strong lines of protection against tumours, taking advantage of the special features of Chinese medicine in regulating the body. While actively disseminating knowledge on the prevention and treatment of oncology, we should also see that the prevention and treatment of oncology is a systematic project that requires the concerted efforts of society as a whole. The Government should strengthen the design and implementation of policies for the prevention and treatment of oncology, provide high-quality medical care in health-care facilities, promote further research on oncology in scientific institutions and promote public health and active participation in the prevention and treatment of oncology. Cancer, as an enemy of human health, is a common challenge. Through Cope, we can be more rational about tumours and prevent them in science. From the lessons of history to the current state of society, from the transmission of culture to the development of science, tumours in science can not only help people to develop the right idea of health, but can also inspire society to move in a healthier and more civilized direction. Let us work together to brighten the way forward in the fight against tumours with scientific light.
