Prevention of cancer
The prevention of cancer is a comprehensive process involving lifestyle adjustments, improvement of environmental factors and regular medical examinations and screening. The following is a general science article on the prevention of cancer, aimed at raising public awareness of cancer prevention. I. Understanding the triggers of cancer. The triggers of cancer are diverse and can contribute, either individually or in combination, to increasing the risk of cancer. (b) Behavioural factors such as active smoking, exposure to second-hand smoke, excessive drinking of alcohol, lack of exercise, and staying up late. Infection factors: Includes cholesterococcal, hepatitis B virus, hepatitis C virus, human papillomavirus, etc. Dietary factors: inadequate consumption of fruit, vegetables, food fibres, whole grains, excessive consumption of red meat, deep-processed meat and pickled foods, and ingestion of food and water contaminated with carcinogens. Metabolism factors: metabolic diseases such as overweight/obese and diabetes. Environmental factors: occupational risk factor exposure, exposure to indoor and outdoor air pollutants, ionizing radiation and excessive ultraviolet radiation. Genetic factors: Persons with family history of cancer are relatively more likely to have cancer. (b) Prevention: prevention of disease; avoidance of bad living habits: cessation of smoking and alcohol, avoidance of excessive intake of high calorie, fat, sugar and salty food, maintenance of healthy body weight and adequate exercise. Prevention of infection: Timely vaccination of hepatitis B, HPV, etc., as required, avoiding multiple unprotected partners and preventing and controlling infection with the virus. (c) Take care of personal hygiene and prevent bacterial infections, such as fungus. Improved environment: Reduce exposure to occupational carcinogenic environments, such as avoiding exposure to harmful substances such as benzene-containing chemical reagents. Governments should increase environmental protection, improve environmental quality and reduce environmental pollution factors such as atmospheric pollution. Second level of prevention: early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment Periodic medical check-ups: periodic health check-ups are carried out and physical anomalies, such as tumour markers, swelling, etc., are detected in a timely manner. High-risk populations should increase the frequency of screening and select appropriate screening methods according to their circumstances. Pay attention to body signals: be alert to dangerous signs of health, such as undisclosed heat, weakness, reduced sexual weight, abnormal swelling in the shallow surface of the body, persistent acoustic hemorrhaging, dry cough, blood in the sips, persistent indigestion and reduced appetite, and timely medical examination. • Comprehensive treatment: comprehensive treatment of cancer patients, including surgery, treatment, chemotherapy, etc. Rehabilitation guidance: rehabilitation guidance and training to prevent the recurrence and transfer of cancer, with emphasis on the quality of life in the later stages of cancer. (c) Health education for the whole population: health education and cancer prevention through school education, community outreach, media dissemination, etc. Promoting healthy lifestyles: Encouraging people to develop healthy living habits, such as a reasonable diet, adequate exercise, abdication of alcohol and tobacco. Maintain a positive mindset, learn to manage stress and avoid excessive stress over the long term. Fourthly, the prevention of cancer is a long and complex process that requires us to take a number of effective measures from multiple perspectives. We can significantly reduce the risk of cancer through a combination of methods, such as understanding the incentives for cancer, taking effective preventive measures and raising public health awareness. Let us do it now, from scratch, to protect our health and that of our families.
