What is colorectal cancer?
Colon and rectum and anal canal, we call the large intestine, and the cancer that occurs in these areas is called colorectal cancer. The incidence rate of the corresponding rectal cancer is the highest, accounting for nearly 50% of colorectal cancer. The next order is sigmoid colon, ileocecal area, ascending colon, transverse colon and descending colon. At present, it is related to diet, living habits, environment, radiation, autoimmune, inflammation, etc. once colorectal cancer is found, it is necessary to carry out corresponding surgical treatment according to the corresponding location. At present, the treatment of colorectal cancer is still a comprehensive treatment mainly based on surgery.
Professor Cai sanjun, chief physician of colorectal surgery and chief expert of multi disciplines of colorectal surgery, Affiliated Tumor Hospital of Fudan University, introduced that the current global cancer situation is grim.
According to the latest cancer database of international cancer research agency (IARC), globalocan expects to have 19.29 million new cases and 9.96 million deaths worldwide in 20202020. Among these new tumors, there are 4.569 million malignant tumors in China each year, with the death toll of 3.03 million.
Lung cancer, breast cancer and colorectal cancer are still the top three new cancers, and colorectal cancer has become the second cancer killer in the world, and the fastest growing cancer species in China.
So how should we start to prevent colorectal cancer?
Some surveys have shown that colorectal cancer is actually affected by certain genetic factors, but in our lives, the impact of diet is far greater than that of genetic factors. So we should do the following healthy diet to prevent colorectal cancer.
1、 Prevention of colorectal cancer from diet
Some surveys have shown that colorectal cancer is actually affected by certain genetic factors, but in our lives, the impact of diet is far greater than that of genetic factors. So we should do the following healthy diet to prevent colorectal cancer.
1. reduce energy intake
Food can bring us nutrition, which contains protein, fat, carbohydrate. These three are the sources of energy of human cell activity, but excessive intake is not good for the body. If we properly reduce the intake of these three nutrients, we can reduce the incidence of colorectal cancer.
2. eat more fruits and vegetables
There are also dietary fibers in fruits and vegetables, which can increase intestinal peristalsis, which reduces polyps that are prone to tumor during the peristalsis.
3. eat less red meat and barbecue
For the night, most of us will choose to eat some barbecue and another dozen beer. However, in many red meat and barbecue, there are carcinogenic substances. After entering the gut, these carcinogens can easily cause harm to the intestine and cause the occurrence of colorectal cancer.
2、 Prevention of colorectal cancer from the aspect of living habits
1. exercise more
Many people don't like exercise, they think they should spend more time doing other things, so among them, the risk of colorectal cancer will increase, because exercise can increase intestinal peristalsis and reduce the risk of colorectal cancer.
2. try to smoke as little as possible
Nicotine can stimulate the large intestine, which can cause colorectal cancer. In the process of smoking, it will also produce second-hand smoke, which is more serious for those who do not smoke.
3. moderate drinking
Drink must be appropriate, appropriate amount of drinking is good for the body, a large amount of alcohol is easy to stimulate the gut. Many people drink a lot of alcohol at parties or in the time of social remuneration. This is very harmful to the body. We should be warned to drink moderately to ensure their health.
The above respectively from the diet and lifestyle aspects to introduce how to prevent colorectal cancer, maintain good living habits, in the diet more attention, if we do, in fact, colorectal cancer in our probability of occurrence is very low.
