Which inconspicuous "inflammations" will develop into cancer?

Rhinitis, gastritis, enteritis, tonsillitis...almost everyone has experienced the trouble of "inflammation".

Inflammation is a self-protection mechanism of the human body and a basic immune response. When the body is stimulated by some kind of stimulus (such as trauma, infection, etc.), a basic pathological process dominated by defense response will occur.

It is not a disease, but the "guide" to many diseases.

When local inflammatory lesions are severe and pathogenic microorganisms spread throughout the body, obvious systemic reactions will occur, such as fever, increased heart rate, increased blood pressure, and anorexia.

What’s more frightening is that some inflammations may develop into cancer.

Why Inflammation May Cause Cancer

Inflammation can be infectious inflammation caused by infection or non-infectious inflammation caused by foreign bodies, physical or chemical factors, etc. Inflammation is divided into acute and chronic according to its duration:

Acute inflammation is characterized by redness, swelling, pain, and heat, often accompanied by systemic reactions such as leukocytosis;

The symptoms of chronic inflammation are relatively subtle.

Inflammation is an important part of the development of many major diseases, and chronic inflammation has long been considered a key risk factor for cancer.

The International Agency for Research on Cancer under the World Health Organization once released a report showing that 1/6 of the world's cancers are caused by bacterial and viral infections, most of these infections are what we commonly call "inflammation."

In chronic inflammation, the damage and repair process of inflammation repeats repeatedly. Repair and regeneration require cell proliferation, and cell proliferation is based on cell division.

The more cells divide, the greater the chance of DNA replication errors, increasing the chance of cancer cells. Mutated cancer cells will inhibit the immune clearance function, and if tiny cancer cells accumulate and aggregate into clusters, they will form malignant tumors.

More and more studies have shown that uncontrollable inflammation is often closely related to tumor metastasis.

Don't delay if you have these 5 types of inflammation, treat them as soon as possible

Inflammation can induce cancer or other diseases, so you should be more careful when you have these types of inflammation to avoid causing major disasters.

0 1Chronic atrophic gastritis

Generally, after Helicobacter pylori infects the gastric mucosa, it will develop into chronic, superficial gastritis after a few weeks, and then into chronic atrophic gastritis, duodenal ulcer, and gastric ulcer after a few years. If it is not treated, it will gradually develop into gastric cancer. However, most of these patients infected with Helicobacter pylori can be cured through drug treatment.

0 2 Pancreatitis

According to relevant data on pancreatic cancer, 80% of pancreatic cancer patients have a history of pancreatitis. If acute pancreatitis recurs, it will turn into chronic pancreatitis and gradually develop into pancreatic pseudocysts. If the best treatment time is missed, it will eventually develop into advanced pancreatic cancer.

0 3 Viral hepatitis

Epidemiological experts have found that wherever hepatitis B is prevalent, the vast majority of liver cancers are also rampant in this area, which indirectly proves that hepatitis B and cancer are closely related.

0 4 Cervicitis

Most cases of cervicitis are caused by childbirth or other uterine surgeries that damage the uterus, and the most common types of cervicitis are cervical erosion and glandular cysts. They are more susceptible to persistent infection with the HPV virus and the development of cervical cancer.

0 5Enteritis

Among various types of enteritis, recurrent chronic ulcerative colitis is the type of enteritis with the highest risk of cancer. Its repeated attacks can cause continuous damage to part of the intestinal tissue and lead to abnormal hyperplasia.

Avoid pro-inflammatory eating habits

The occurrence of inflammation is closely related to daily diet. People with the following 6 eating habits should change them as soon as possible.

1. Eating too refined foods: Refined staple foods have a higher glycemic response, and high blood sugar can increase inflammatory responses.

2. High-sugar, high-salt diet: High-sugar foods will cause large fluctuations in blood sugar and consume a large amount of B vitamins in the body; high-salt foods will activate cells involved in inflammatory responses by activating platelets.

3. Eating processed meat frequently: The polyaromatic hydrocarbons, heterocyclic amines, etc. contained in it will bring pro-inflammatory substances.

4. Eating too many snacks: The trans fatty acids contained in many snacks will increase the levels of multiple inflammatory factors, which may be related to the lipid metabolism disorders caused by them.

5. Love to eat fried foods: Fried foods are high in saturated fat, which can promote inflammatory responses and can be detrimental to the cardiovascular system, immune system, etc.

6. Frequent drinking: Alcohol will increase the burden on the liver, destroy the structure of intestinal microbial flora, and induce inflammatory response.
