"Cancer" is not terrible, losing a smile is terrible
On January 10, another familiar face of the audience passed away, he was the host Zhao He, who once hosted the CCTV "Economic Half Hour" column, and died because of bladder cancer. Zhao He's hosting style is known for its sharpness and stability, although it is low-key and does not have so much heat, but due to the exposure rate of the CCTV platform, there are still many viewers who have an impression of Zhao He. For many TV viewers, there is one less familiar old face on the screen.
On the evening of January 13, many people in the advertising industry are familiar with, known as "mad men", Ye Maozhong, who once created many popular advertising slogans throughout the country, passed away, in the wave of gold digging in China's market-oriented economy, Ye Maozhong and his team are like a powerful wind, helping many enterprises to drive to the other side of success in a wave of waves, becoming the industry leader. Although there are many people criticizing some of Ye Maozhong's advertising slogans, there is no strong technical content, but the era and situation in which everyone lives is limited, and at that time, Ye Maozhong undoubtedly did the best.
Not only Zhao He and Ye Maozhong, CCTV news anchor Luo Jing (lymphoma), famous host Li Yong (throat cancer), 86 version of "Dream of the Red Chamber" Lin Daiyu played by Chen Xiaoxu (breast cancer), Wen Xingyu (lung cancer), singer Yao Beina (breast cancer) and Many celebrities such as Luo Wen, Ma Sanli, Mei Yanfang, Fu Biao, etc., all died of cancer. Ordinary people face cancer is more pale and powerless, in 2021, there are two netizens on the headlines, "bone cancer Xiao Wang", "rectal cancer A Jian" two patients, received the attention of many netizens, but after a fierce struggle with the disease, they all unfortunately died in the second half of 2021.
The death of many celebrities makes people seem to feel that in the face of cancer, whether it is a dignitary, a celebrity or an ordinary person, they are very weak. However, if you or your side also have cancer patients, please do not lose confidence in treatment. Because there are many cases of cancer rehabilitation, and with the continuous development of medical research and the advancement of medical technology, medical scientists are on the way to conquer cancer. It is believed that in the near future, cancer will be contained and completely cured.
"Cancer" has signs and existing methods can be controlled
Early cancer is not easily detected, but there are still some early symptoms. For example: a large drop in weight, coughing, blood in sputum, long-term constipation or diarrhea, blood in the stool, inexplicable appearance of a lump, no pain or pressure sensation of the lump, etc., are all early signals of cancerous cells. Due to precancerous cancer, only some cancers become cancerous and do not affect the function of overall tissues and organs. Therefore, it is not easy to be detected by people, and I hope that everyone should be extra careful in this regard.
At present, in the treatment of cancer, there are mainly surgical treatment, chemotherapy and other treatment methods.
Surgical treatment → direct removal of cancer cells
If it is in the early stages of cancer, theoretically, the cancer can be cured by surgically removing tumor cells. For early stage patients, surgery is still an effective way to treat cancer. If the location of the cancer cells is not an important organ such as the internal organs, then the patient's pain is also very small. In many health articles, the treatment of cancer is divided into radical surgery, palliative surgery, tumor reduction surgery, exploratory surgery, and preventive surgery, mainly according to the different stages of cancer patients, and the different effects that can be played by surgery are distinguished, which needs attention.
Chemotherapy → treat cancer by curbing the proliferation of cancer cells
Chemotherapy is a treatment method that inhibits the growth of cancer cells through artificial intervention, and its principle and purpose is to let the drug go directly to the lesion and let the cancer cells at the lesion be treated. It should be noted here that although chemotherapy also inhibits the division of normal cells, after chemotherapy, the function of normal cells tends to be restored on its own. Chemotherapy is not only done at an advanced stage, and many patients also undergo chemotherapy (local chemotherapy) early on to inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells or kill them.
Other therapies → are effective ways to inhibit and kill cancer cells
Extracorporeal radiation therapy, (X-rays, protons or particles) is usually used to kill cells in a specific area; internal radiation therapy, which is to put radioactive implants (only the size of a rice at most) into the place where the tumor is located in the body to kill cancer cells; some traditional Chinese medicines can inhibit the spread of cancer cells to achieve the purpose of inhibiting the disease, which has been widely recognized in the medical community.
"Cancer" new achievements, the fight against cancer is now dawning
In addition to the above treatments, there are also some treatments that are enough to make cancer patients and their families feel happy and excited. Such as: stem cells, genes, immunotherapy, etc., although most of these methods of treating cancer are in the laboratory stage, (among them, only stem cells in cancer treatment, clinical sporadic trials, such as: 2005.04-2007.07, a medical center in the United States for clinical treatment of tumor patients, the purpose of which is to study the examination of gene activity spectrum), but the research results of these therapies in the laboratory have been enough to let people see the dawn of hope. We also have reason to believe that the day when cancer is cured is not far away!
Stem cell → is considered a promising new direction in the fight against cancer
In early 2020, a scientific research team from the University of North Carolina published their team's latest research results in PLos One, elaborating on the entire experimental process of mesenchymal stem cells fighting tumors, and got exciting results in the experiment: stem cells were able to shrink the tumors of the test mice and extend their lifespan. In the process of experiments, researchers found that stem cells are more inclined to migrate to malignant parts; this brings potential possibilities for stem cells to treat cancer, on the one hand, stem cells can drive away cancer cells and make cancer cells rejuvenated; on the other hand, stem cells can transport anti-cancer drugs directly to the cancer lesion site, making the fight against tumors more effective.
Gene therapy → a treatment that strikes cancer cells with precision
Now the medical community generally believes that there are many factors that cause cancer, which is a chronic process, including eating habits, living habits, environmental factors, family genetics, etc., which are all potential factors causing cancer. However, the manifestation of cancer in the body is thought to be due to genetic mutations. Gene therapy, is to achieve the purpose of clearing cancer cells by modifying the body's immune cells, the experimental results found that the gene therapy rate is higher, but in the process of using genes to treat cancer cells, there are also cancer cells that are prone to mutation again, which will make cancer cells "come back to life", this phenomenon is the medical community is currently tackling the problem. Although there are no new research results for research in this field, I believe that with the current scientific and technological situation, there will be good news soon.
Immunotherapy → cancer treatment that has made great research advances
In 2018, James (USA) and Yu Honjo (Japan) were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their outstanding contributions to cancer suppression and treatment by immunotherapy. Although there are many types of cancer, the essence is that abnormal cells proliferate uncontrollably, and immunotherapy is to enhance the immune system's protection of itself through thrust, or to prevent the proliferation of cancer cells through pulling to achieve the purpose of inhibiting cancer.
Ben Shuyou's outstanding contribution to the treatment of cancer in immunotherapy is that he discovered and interpreted a protein on immune cells, Ben Shuyou gave this protein a working method, and found that through this method of empowerment, it will greatly enhance the role of protein in fighting cancer cells, and it is with Ben Shuyou's research that it is possible to make immunotherapy used for clinical treatment. James, on the other hand, verified the effectiveness of this method in treating cancer in mice by "turning off the brakes", that is, by pulling to prevent cancer cells from proliferating.
Over the past 10 years, James, Honshuyo, and many other medical researchers have made significant progress in cancer immunology, and medical scientists believe that the immune system can suppress the emergence and development of tumors. Although immunosuppressive therapy is still in the laboratory stage, there is still a distance from the real clinical application, but in the laboratory, the gratifying results achieved by the immune system in inhibiting cancer cells are undoubtedly pleasing to medical scientists.
"Cancer" needs to be noted, no heart and no lungs are the most important
Cancer is a mutation of cells, so when cancer is detected, eat more nutritious foods on your diet and don't eat fried foods. Of course, compared with the dietary taboos, cancer patients are more important to adjust the mentality, long-term mood depression, not only will make the body appear endocrine disorders, but also will bring about the decline of the body's immune system, prompting cancer cells to spread throughout the body. Therefore, cancer patients have no heart and no lungs, live a day, cultivate their own interests and hobbies, easily reverse cancer, and have a high quality of life.
Like you in front of the screen, we look forward to the day when "humanity will completely defeat cancer"!
