The protagonist of the hit TV series "The World" died of stomach cancer. What should we do to prevent stomach cancer?

Recently, the hit TV series "The World" came to an end. The male protagonist died of stomach cancer, which is a pity.

1. Looking back at the entire plot, it is no accident that "Zhou Bingyi" suffers from gastric cancer:

The character "Zhou Bingyi" in the drama "The World" often drank for work. He was later diagnosed with gastric cancer and eventually died of advanced gastric cancer, which is a pity.

During the time he was abroad, he had gastric bleeding. Due to his busy work, he could not eat on time and could only eat cold food, which made his stomach disease worse. Due to frequent drinking and socializing, he had to be hospitalized for surgery for "gastric perforation". Although his condition worsened, he was still busy with socializing, so his condition became worse and worse, and developed into the late stage of cancer.

Symptoms such as black stools, anemia, weight loss, abdominal pain, vomiting, abdominal mass, bloating, loss of appetite, etc. are not "early signals" and there are no special symptoms in the early stages of gastric cancer.

No matter what kind of tumor it is, it is not scary. What is scary is discovering it too late!

2. Gastric cancer is the second most common cancer in my country, and part of the cause is caused by our diet.

What habits are bad for your stomach?

1. A fondness for smoked, grilled, fried foods, and high-salt, high-sugar, and high-fat diets;

2. Only like to eat meat, not fresh vegetables and fruits;

3. Excessive smoking and drinking;

4. Irregular work and rest schedule, staying up late for a long time;

5. High pressure from work and life. Being in a state of mental tension, depression, anxiety, and fear for a long time.

3. What should we do to prevent gastric cancer?

There are about 1.2 million new cases of gastric cancer every year in the world, and my country accounts for about 40% of them. If gastric cancer is discovered early, the cure rate is 90-97%, and the 5-year survival rate in the advanced stage is less than 30%! We should be prepared before gastric cancer occurs.

Regarding the prevention of gastric cancer, it is divided into three levels of prevention, among which the first and second levels of prevention are very important.

1. Primary prevention is the prevention of the cause of cancer, which is to prevent the high-risk factors that cause cancer, eliminate or avoid the carcinogenic factors of gastric cancer, and prevent the occurrence of gastric cancer. The reason why "Zhou Bingyi" suffered from gastric cancer was that he was an alcoholic and did not stay away from bad eating habits.

1) To prevent stomach cancer, the first thing is to stay away from bad habits;

2) In addition, eradication of Helicobacter pylori is also of great significance in the prevention of gastric cancer in my country. Helicobacter pylori infection is one of the main causes of gastric ulcers, gastritis, and even gastric cancer.

After treatment, you cannot just check the blood for Helicobacter pylori antibodies, as antibodies will still be present even if the patient is cured. The post-treatment examination must be performed using the breath method.

3) When Helicobacter pylori is discovered in middle-aged and elderly people, they should not only receive treatment, but also undergo corresponding gastroscopy examinations to screen for gastric cancer.

4) Which department should I go to for Helicobacter pylori examination?

Gastroenterology is fine.

2. Secondary prevention:

This is what we often call the "three early" prevention, namely early detection, early diagnosis, and early treatment.

1) Why are many cancer patients diagnosed at the advanced stage?

Because - many cancers have no obvious symptoms in the early stages! When there are symptoms, most of them are no longer in the early stages!

Because early gastric cancer often has no obvious symptoms, do not wait until you have upper gastrointestinal symptoms before undergoing a gastroscopy.

2) Currently known precancerous lesions of gastric cancer mainly include atrophic gastritis, adenomatous polyps, gastric ulcer, moderate to severe dysplasia, incomplete colonic intestinal metaplasia, hypertrophic gastritis, etc. 10% of gastric cancer patients have a genetic tendency, and those with a family history of gastric cancer have a gastric cancer incidence rate 2-3 times higher than the general population.

3) In addition to actively treating precancerous lesions, people over 40 years old, people with Helicobacter pylori infection, people with a family history of gastric cancer, people with bad living habits and other high-risk groups for gastric cancer should undergo endoscopic screening as soon as possible.

Why is the rate of early gastric cancer so high in Japan and South Korea?

One very important reason is to focus on gastric cancer screening.

Gastroscopy is the gold standard for detecting early gastric cancer!
