They are more at risk of developing cancer.
You may already have cancer
They are more at risk of getting cancer than others, practicing urologist-oncologist Alexander Dzidzaria is sure:
“After a cell degenerates into malignant, the immune system can often recognize it, recognize it as abnormal and destroy it before it begins to multiply and metastasize,” the doctor said in his telegram channel.
At the same time, the likelihood of developing certain types of oncology is higher in people with impaired immune system function, in particular:
In AIDS patients;
People taking immunosuppressants (medicines that suppress the immune system);
In people with certain autoimmune diseases (psoriasis, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, celiac disease, rheumatoid arthritis, etc.);
In the elderly (with age, the immune system functions worse).
Cancers that are more common in people with weakened immune systems include melanoma, kidney cancer, and lymphoma.
The doctor revealed who is at high risk
How to protect yourself from cancer? First you need to learn the risk factors for its development:
Elderly age;
Previous oncological disease;
Cancer in blood relatives;
Smoking;
Obesity;
Alcohol;
Some types of viral infections, such as the human papillomavirus (HPV);
certain chemicals;
Ionizing radiation, including UV rays from the sun.
What needs to be done urgently
According to Dr. Dzidzaria, a healthy lifestyle, the absence of bad habits and regular medical examinations significantly reduce the oncogenic risk, but there is no complete elimination of the risk of developing cancer yet.
But, we will still strive towards this goal. Are you ready?
