According to the latest cancer registration data from the National Health Administration of the Ministry of Health and Welfare, there were 16,829 newly diagnosed cases of colorectal cancer in 2019, ranking first in the number of cancer cases for 15 consecutive years, and the incidence rate of men is 1.5 times that of women. According to statistics, the average Chinese population About 31 minutes and 14 seconds, one person suffers from colorectal cancer; more than 6,000 patients die of colorectal cancer every year, which greatly affects the health of the Chinese people.
1 person develops colorectal cancer every half hour!Punishment for raising rape for fear of missing the golden period of treatment
Since nearly 90% of colorectal cancer occurs in people over the age of 50, and the incidence rate increases with age, in order to reduce the incidence and mortality of colorectal cancer, the National Health Service provides people aged 50 to 74 with a free ration once every 2 years Fecal occult blood test by immunological method, according to empirical research, regular screening every 2 years can reduce the incidence of advanced colorectal cancer by 29% and the mortality rate by 35%.
Director Wu Zhaojun of the National Health Service called on the public to undergo regular colorectal cancer screenings to identify potential “intestinal” crises. Those with negative screening results should maintain regular colorectal cancer screening every 2 years; if the results are positive, they should go to a medical institution for colonoscopy. According to cancer registration data, one out of two people with a positive colorectal cancer screening result has colorectal polyps, and one out of every 20 people has colorectal cancer. Therefore, we must not let it go, so as not to miss the golden treatment period .
Colorectal cancer detection is like cracking a “criminal case”! The doctor revealed that the key murderer was found by “this inspection”
Dr. Lai Zhengda, the current Secretary-General of the Society of Colorectal Surgery of the Republic of China and a specialist in colorectal surgery at Mackay Memorial Hospital, said that the fecal occult blood test is like looking for the “murderer” to find out the “murderer” that caused intestinal bleeding, and further use it more accurately The “criminal case” can only be considered cracked if it is tested with advanced medical equipment. “Intestinal bleeding does not mean that there is polyp hyperplasia, and it needs to be confirmed by colonoscopy or gastroscopy.”
Dr. Lai Zhengda pointed out that previous journals have confirmed that as long as colorectal cancer screening is carried out early and regularly, there is a chance to reduce the mortality rate of colorectal cancer by nearly 60%. However, there are still many people who are full of rejection of the screening, and even disagree with the removal of polyps, fearing pain, bleeding, and even complications. “In fact, the complication rate of removing polyps is much lower than 1 in 1,000, so the public should not have a wrong mentality!”
The report shows that the incidence of colorectal cancer in men is 1.5 times that of women, but the number of people screened and early polyps detected is more than women. Dr. Lai Zhengda explained that in fact, among the five cancer screenings promoted by the government (oral cancer, lung cancer, breast cancer, colorectal cancer, and cervical cancer), two of the cervical and breast cancers are related to women.Most women will be screened together; andMen usually delay seeing a doctor because they don’t like colonoscopy or are ashamed of internal examination, which prevents men from early detection and early treatment, which increases the risk of cancer。
Don’t neglect to seek medical treatment because of busy work and fear of pain!8 simple steps to easily screen at home
Lin Liru, head of the Cancer Prevention and Control Team of the National Health Department, added that from 2017 to 2021, the screening rates for colorectal polyps were 43.2%, 43.3%, 44.1%, 47.0%, and 51.8%, respectively, and there is a continuous upward trend. The reason may be that the public The increased willingness to undergo examinations shows that the concept of early screening and early treatment has gradually been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Therefore, men should not miss the golden period of cancer treatment because of busy work or shyness of seeking medical treatment. Early screening and colonoscopy can greatly reduce cancer mortality.
Team leader Lin Liru said that early stage colorectal cancer is easy to cure and the 5-year survival rate is over 90%, but the survival rate of stage 4 colorectal cancer is only 15%. Since early colorectal cancer is asymptomatic, it can be detected early through regular screening. In addition, as the new crown epidemic slows down, the National Health Service encourages people who are eligible for colorectal cancer screening to undergo screening as soon as possible. The fecal occult blood test is non-invasive and does not require dietary restrictions before the test. It only requires the following 8 steps. Regular screening is easy at home for:
1. Take the health insurance card to the health insurance designated medical institution to collect the stool collection tube.
2. Write your name, date and time of stool collection on the label outside the stool collection tube.
3. After rotating the cap, pull the stool sampling stick upwards to remove it. Do not pour out the water inside.
4. Lay toilet paper obliquely in the sitting toilet to prevent feces from falling into the water and making it difficult to collect.
5. Sit on the toilet to defecate (you can also get a test sample following defecating on the newspaper).
6. Repeatedly scrape back and forth on the entire feces to collect an appropriate amount of specimen.
7. Insert the feces collection tube stained with the sample back into the tube and cap it tightly.
8. Send back to the medical institution, go home and wait for the test report.
Find out the colorectal polyps and “immediately remove them” to avoid surgery and delay treatment, which may increase the risk of cancer by 30%
Finally, Dr. Lai Zhengda emphasized that in addition to regular screening, it is also very important for those with positive screening to receive colonoscopy diagnosis. Through colonoscopy, polyps hidden in the large intestine can be found, and most polyps can be removed immediately following they are discovered. There is no need for another operation, and the development of precancerous lesions can be blocked as soon as possible to avoid further deterioration into colorectal cancer.
Studies have shown that those with positive screening results have a 20-30 times higher risk of developing colorectal cancer than the general population. If a colonoscopy diagnosis has not been performed for more than 6 months, the risk of developing colorectal cancer will increase by 30%. The risk of cancer death will increase by 64%. Therefore, it is reminded that when the screening result is positive, a colonoscopy should be further performed to ensure the health of the intestinal tract.
