As human cancer of the constant deepening of understanding of the disease, are becoming aware that cancer prevention is the fight against cancer the most effective weapons. Many scientific research and effective control of activities showed that the cancer could be avoided. 1 / 3 of cancer can be prevented. 1 / 3, if early diagnosis of cancer, it may be cured. Reasonable and effective palliative care can the remaining 1 / 3 of the quality of life of cancer patients has improved. In today's world of our traditional habits put a lot of challenges, has been the emergence of a new health point of view need to keep awareness. Individual, the family until the community more than ever the responsibility to help themselves and others Prevention of diseases, improve the lifestyle and environment to promote health. The Government must take appropriate measures to support individuals, families and community activities. Only when the tumor prevention and control into the daily life and work of the agenda, can we truly from the preventive role. The ultimate goal of cancer prevention is to reduce cancer incidence and mortality. To this end, several adoption of the following preventive measures: a prevention, secondary prevention and tertiary prevention and chemical prevention.

Cancer prevention: primary prevention, secondary prevention and tertiary prevention

A prevention: (Primary Prevention) - First-class prevent or cause of prevention. The goal is to prevent cancer. Its tasks include the study of the various causes and risk factors of cancer, for the chemical, physical, biological, and other specific carcinogen, Cuai in vitro and in vivo pathogenic factors and conditions, to take preventive measures and health for the body, to strengthen environmental protection, appropriate diet , Suitable for sports, to promote physical and mental health. The individual, this is 0, is an important chopped Lang and Hemerocallis flava chee? Quot; period.

1, avoiding smoking

Smoking has been more clear for people known to cause cancer, and 30 percent of cancers. Tar in the smoke contains carcinogens and Cuai a variety of substances, such as 3-4 phenylpropanoid pyrene, multi-ring aromatic hydrocarbons, phenols, nitrosamines, when the burning tobacco smoke was inhaled, the tar will be attached to the expected 3.5 Bronchial mucosa, with the long-term chronic stimulation, can induce cancer. Smoking major cause lung, pharynx, larynx cancer of the esophagus and, in many other parts may also occur to increase the risk of cancer.

2, diet structure

U.S. diet, nutrition and cancer Committee (DNC) survey showed that: colon cancer, breast cancer, esophageal cancer, gastric cancer and lung cancer are most likely to change eating habits and be prevented. In fact, a reasonable meal most likely to have cancer prevention effects, in particular type of plant foods in a variety of anti-cancer components, almost all of these components of the cancer prevention effects of both.

Attention to children's cancer "as early as 3"

According to medical statistics for children aged 0 to-14 the incidence of malignant tumors of all malignant tumors of 0.6 percent. Although the incidence rate lower, but its high degree of malignancy, the mortality rate of all child mortality 10.7%, has become in addition to accidental injury, the leading cause of death in children.

According to medical statistics for children aged 0 to-14 the incidence of malignant tumors of all malignant tumors of 0.6 percent. Although the incidence rate lower, but its high degree of malignancy, the mortality rate of all child mortality 10.7%, has become in addition to accidental injury, the leading cause of death in children. As we inadequate understanding of cancer on children, the majority of patients with atypical symptoms, the children complained of poor children and professional tumors of the lack of doctors and other reasons, makes children's cancer often can not be found even been misdiagnosed early, this is not child cancer patients in early The timely and correct diagnosis and treatment, resulting in poor prognosis of the important factors.

Children's cancer incidence rate by the order for the white blood and central nervous system cancer, lymphoma, various cells of (common for neuroblastoma, Wilms tumor, hepatoblastoma and retinoblastoma, etc.) , Teratoma and rhabdomyosarcoma, osteosarcoma, and so on. They can occur in the children of all ages, some malignant tumors such as neuroblastoma can be derived from embryonic stage, that is, in the neonatal period have been discovered. The vast majority of these tumors when embryos from pregnant mothers in the embryo of the non-epithelial cells, such tumors in the deeper parts of the body, with the exception of individual tumor, (such as neuroblastoma specific nerve enolase) There is no effective Population screening method, so that more difficult. Although the application of molecular techniques in recent years in the diagnosis of some reports, but still in the stage and is not yet widely used in clinical. Therefore, the diagnosis of cancer in children of parents still have to rely on early detection of diseases clues and a specialist clinical diagnosis.

The parents of children should maintain high vigilance following symptoms: (1) general performance: a longer-term fever, in particular the anti-viral and antibiotic treatment short-term invalid after the fever; obvious short-term weight loss, body weight increased or decreased; weakness, Daijuan; continually increase the anemia, looking pale; endocrine disorders, such as obesity or not the symmetry, such as early puberty. (2) partial performance: mainly localized pain, mass and mass oppression of the surrounding organs produce a series of symptoms. Early detection of skin tumors more easily, but in the hidden parts of the body cavity mass parents to early detection. At this moment the parents should pay attention to whether there is a tumor suppression of the symptoms of adjacent organs, such as mediastinal tumors can lead to difficulty in breathing or Bieqi; abdominal tumor often oppressed gastrointestinal tract have nausea, vomiting and intestinal obstruction symptoms or pelvic tumor sacrococcygeal Can lead to the abnormal urination or defecation.

Once the parents have found that the abnormal situation should be promptly to a child cancer specialist in children's cancer hospital doctors to check, timely diagnosis, so as not to delay condition. Children of cancer patients non-invasive inspection, including inspection, that is, the suffering of children with no checks, such as X-ray film, B-chao, CT, and other family members more receptive to check; invasive inspection, the children are suffering of the inspection , Such as lumbar puncture, bone marrow puncture, Huotizuzhi examination, and other family members are often difficult to accept, but sometimes only through these checks to obtain a scientific diagnosis. Make a correct diagnosis early on developed a reasonable treatment programmes, improve treatment and survival rate is very critical. As early Nephroblastoma (Ⅰ period) the cure rate as high as 90 percent, and the time of diagnosis has been the transfer of advanced (Ⅳ period) the patient's cure rate is only about 50 percent. Children and adults of different tumors, many diseases in early life can be completely cured.

Early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment is to improve the efficacy and children's cancer survival rate important link. We make the following suggestions to parents: (1) information on the children's cancer popular science knowledge to improve the vigilance of the disease, if the conditions of children to regular medical oncology (2) carefully observed the child's physical condition, unusual time to Please specialist children's cancer hospital doctor checkups; (3) Do not rely on non-specialists in the diagnosis, (4) Do not refuse to doctors when necessary for children to have a check, (5) Once diagnosed, should be timely and reasonable treatment .
