"The biggest challenge facing breast cancer treatment is the imbalance, which includes the imbalance of medical knowledge popularization, the imbalance of information between doctors and patients, the imbalance of information between doctors and doctors, and the imbalance of drug resources, which also leads many patients to spend money in treatment and go astray."
Jiang Zefei, Deputy Director of the Oncology Department of the People's Liberation Army General Hospital and President elect of the Chinese Society of Clinical Oncology (CSCO), recently said in an interview with China News Health.
Why do many women discover it in the late stage?
According to the statistics of the National Cancer Center, there will be 357200 new cases of breast cancer in China in 2022, which is second only to lung cancer in female cancer, accounting for 15.6% of the new cases of cancer. Breast cancer has become one of the most common malignant tumors threatening the health of chinese women.
Although the "two cancers" screening has been carried out continuously in China in recent years, in reality, there are still many girls who are diagnosed with breast cancer in the middle and late stages.
I have a patient who only went to see me after her breasts were all rotten. She said she didn't go for a 'two cancer' screening. Some patients may have missed the screening due to a missed notification or negligence, resulting in delayed diagnosis
Jiang Zefei told reporters that regular and continuous screening is very necessary for high-risk groups of breast cancer, otherwise the best treatment time may be missed.
