According to national cancer registration statistics released by the Ministry of Health and Welfare-Central Cancer Registry in December last year, the number of new cancer patients in 2021 is 277,523. It increased by 10.8% compared to 2020. What is especially noteworthy is that there are many female patients who drink and smoke relatively less than men. The number is 133,800, which is not much different from men (143,723). Why are there so many female patients who smoke less, the biggest risk factor for cancer?
Cancer patients are on the rise, outpacing men… Female 12.8% vs Male 8.9%
Compared to 2020, the number of female cancer patients increased by 15,210 (12.8%), surpassing the number of male cancer patients by 11,792 (8.9%). Breast cancer, the number one cancer in women (28,720 people), is affected by the overwhelming number of thyroid cancer patients (8,771 men and 26,532 women), but prostate cancer (18,697 people), the only cancer in men, is influenced by smoking. When considering major cancers (lung cancer, stomach cancer, pancreatic cancer, kidney cancer, etc.), changes in eating habits are estimated to be one of the major factors.
Cancer in women… Breast cancer – Thyroid cancer – Colon cancer – Lung cancer – Stomach cancer – Pancreatic cancer in that order
Looking at the cancer occurrence ranking for women, the order was breast cancer – thyroid cancer – colon cancer – lung cancer – stomach cancer – pancreas cancer, and for men it was lung cancer – stomach cancer – colon cancer – prostate cancer – liver cancer – thyroid cancer. The incidence of gastric cancer, colon cancer, liver cancer, and cervical cancer, which are the cancer types targeted by the national cancer screening program, has been decreasing over the past 10 years, but breast cancer has been increasing over the past 20 years. In 2021, medical use, including cancer screening, which had decreased due to the COVID-19 pandemic, has also increased once more.
There is a big change in eating habits… Increased intake of animal fat and saturated fat compared to the past
Overall, factors related to diet and nutrition account for regarding 30% of the causes of cancer. According to the National Cancer Information Center, breast cancer has many risk factors, including genetics, but this also includes obesity. Postmenopausal women who gain too much weight increase their risk of breast cancer by 9-19% for every 5 that their body mass index increases. For premenopausal women, obesity reduces the risk of breast cancer. Breast cancer accounts for 29.3% of menopausal women in their 50s and 20.7% of women in their 60s. You should reduce your intake of animal fat, saturated fat, and carbohydrates, such as meat fat, and control your weight through exercise.
Colon cancer and stomach cancer, which are highly related to eating habits, also have many female patients. There are 13,609 female patients with colon cancer and 9,828 with stomach cancer. Looking at age, the majority are in their 50s and 60s. It appears that long-term eating habits have caused cancer cells to sprout in the colon and stomach mucosa. Consumption of animal fat and saturated fat has increased compared to the past, and especially grilling and frying, which increase carcinogens, are having a significant impact. Meat is best eaten boiled or steamed. Smoking is the biggest risk factor for pancreatic cancer (4,592 men, 4,280 women), but excessive intake of animal fat and saturated fat also plays a role.
Reduce the intake of salty foods, burnt foods, and processed meat… “Eat a lot of vegetables and fruits”
To emphasize once more, you should eat a lot of vegetables and fruits and reduce the intake of salty foods, burnt foods, and processed meat products (ham, sausages, etc.). Antioxidants in vegetables and fruits play a role in preventing normal cells from turning into cancer. Eating salty foods damages the gastric mucosa, creating an environment in which cancer can easily occur.
When meat or fish is grilled at high temperatures, powerful carcinogens that cause cancer are generated on the surface, increasing the incidence of stomach cancer, colon cancer, pancreatic cancer, and breast cancer. Nitrite, which is used as a coloring agent in meat products such as ham and sausage, is known to cause esophageal cancer, stomach cancer, liver cancer, lung cancer, and leukemia. Menopausal people in their 50s and 60s have the largest number of cancer patients. Efforts are needed to lower the risk of cancer by controlling diet.
