Breast cancer cure rate, how to prevent breast cancer

The cure rate of breast cancer is increasing every year. Compared with some other malignant tumors, the treatment of breast cancer has become more and more effective, reaching a cure rate of 90%. At the same time, patients must receive early treatment to effectively reduce the mortality rate. In addition, attention should be paid to the prevention of breast cancer. It is recommended that women wear more stable underwear and the time spent wearing underwear should not exceed 8 hours. It is best not to wear it when sleeping. If female friends have the habit of alcoholism, they should quit it as soon as possible to effectively prevent breast cancer.

1. The cure rate of breast cancer can reach 90%

According to the latest statistics from the National Cancer Center, the number of new breast cancer cases in the country has reached 272,400, with an annual mortality rate of more than 70,000, ranking first in the incidence of malignant tumors in women. Director Zhang Jin introduced that the mortality rate of breast cancer in my country is lower than that of other malignant tumors, ranking sixth among the causes of cancer death. Breast cancer is one of the malignant tumors with relatively good treatment effects. If it can be detected, diagnosed and treated early, the mortality rate can be effectively reduced.

2Early diagnosis is key

It is a recognized fact that the earlier breast cancer is discovered, the better the treatment effect. The five-year survival rate after surgery for stage III breast cancer in China is only 40% to 50%, and even lower for stage IV.

Ways to prevent breast cancer

1. Wear a secure bra

In addition to preventing breast sagging, bras can also prevent the compressed breast nerves from being further compressed and eliminate discomfort.

2. Avoid drinking alcohol

Drinking is much more harmful to women than to men. The risk of breast cancer for women who drink is higher than that for those who rarely drink. The risk of breast cancer for those who drink 1 or more glasses of alcohol a day is more than 45% higher than that for those who rarely drink. This risk is most significant in premenopausal women.

3. Control your weight

The fundamental reason why exercise can prevent breast cancer is that it can control body weight gain. A research report shows that women who gain weight rapidly after the age of 18 have almost twice the risk of developing breast cancer after menopause compared with those who maintain a normal weight for a long time.

4. Get more sun

Related to taking vitamin D, getting more sun exposure may also reduce the incidence of breast cancer because the skin can only synthesize vitamin D in sunlight. Experts say that for most people, 10 to 15 minutes of sun exposure a day is enough to keep the vitamin D the body needs. However, some experts have suggested that excessive exposure of the skin to the sun will increase the risk of skin cancer, so sunbathing should be done in moderation.

5. Sleep

A new study from Case Western Reserve University in the United States found that postmenopausal women who sleep less than six hours a night have twice the risk of breast cancer as women who get enough sleep. Dr. Cherrill, head of the new research, said that 7 to 8 hours of sleep every night can maintain normal body rhythms and help reduce the risk of cancer.

Due to the weak cancer prevention awareness of some women and the failure of breast cancer screening to cover the entire population, the stage I diagnosis rate of early breast cancer in women in my country is less than 20%, while in developed countries such as Europe and the United States it is over 80%. Therefore, it is necessary for the public to raise their health awareness and conduct regular breast self-examinations and professional physical examinations.
