How to do early cancer screening

Speaking of cancer, everyone may change their expression because cancer is a disease that is difficult to treat. So how can we prevent cancer? Today we will take a look at early screening for cancer. You may feel that this method is very troublesome, and that cancer seems far away from you, but cancer is sometimes around us and may occur at any time.

Why do people feel so scared when talking about cancer?

The current situation of cancer is that most cancers are discovered in the late stages, are difficult to cure, are prone to relapse, have a high mortality rate, a short survival period, and a painful treatment process. In the eyes of most people, having cancer is equivalent to a death sentence.

There are too many successful people and celebrities in life who are suddenly struck down by cancer, leaving many regrets in their life plans and families. Such as famous movie stars Li Yuanyuan and Fu Biao, well-known entrepreneur Wang Junyao, Dongguan's richest man Wang Jincheng, and Apple CEO Steve Jobs.

Early detection is the key to defeating cancer

Cancer is a disease that is difficult to prevent. The possibility of curing mid- and late-stage cancer is very small, while the cure rate for early-stage cancer can reach over 65%, and some tumors can reach over 90%. Therefore, the key to defeating cancer is to detect it early.

Since there are often no special symptoms or even no symptoms at all in the early stages of cancer, early detection and diagnosis of cancer are mainly achieved through regular health examinations and population screening. Currently, the main methods for screening cancer are through blood tests for tumor indicators and examinations such as ultrasound, CT, MRI, and PET-CT. However, the sensitivity and specificity of these methods are not high, and when abnormalities are found, it is often in the middle or late stages. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop new technologies and methods for early screening of cancer based on the pathogenesis of cancer.

How about it? After reading the above, do you feel that early screening is a good idea? Although it may take up some of your time, it is still better than cancer. Otherwise, if we get cancer one day it will be too late, so it is better to detect it early, which is much better than dealing with it after you get the disease. In the future we should also develop good living habits, which will be better for our health.
