Elderly cancer: prone refractory

Dongfang Wang February 22: Information shows that the city's existing 110,000 people with cancer, the incidence rate of close to Europe and the United States. Epidemiological data show that in addition to cancer and genetic and environmental factors, and also has a lot to the age factor. In addition to the central nervous system tumors, leukemia and other childhood in the high, the majority of the incidence of cancer increases with age increases, such as breast, stomach, liver, lung, colon cancer, and so on.

According to hospital on August 5 tumor hyperthermia Section 2005 statistics, the first consultation treated 360 cancer patients, more than 60 percent over the age over the age of 50 in elderly patients.

And the high incidence of cancer aged major factor in roughly the following points: 1. Contact with carcinogenic substances a long time, 2. Cells in vivo gene mutation, 3. Immune function decline, 4. Endocrine disorders and hormone imbalance, 5. Long-term adverse life Way of life and behavior "over time" 6. Divorced from society, living alone Outlier, a withdrawn, depression, paranoia of the "cancer personality."

Shanghai has taken the lead in entering an ageing society. The high incidence of cancer is not only seriously endanger the physical and mental health of older persons, also affected family harmony and social stability, combating the elderly become a top priority tumor. However, the elderly decreased immunity, the body recovery is weak, conventional means of treatment in a large number of anti-tumor cells, the body will usually normal immune function and cause greater damage. Cancer treatment makes it easy for elderly patients to accept, not simply rely on surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, Chinese medication, may also have biological treatment, immunization and treatment is not surgery, not narcotic, non-toxic side effects of ultrasound massage and body heat Highlights Treatment.

Try to change bad habits to avoid a "cancer personality" and early prevention, early detection, early treatment, I believe that the harm will be away from the tumor elderly.
