Of gastric cancer will be middle-aged man wraps

Domestic cancer specialists point out that many middle-aged man's stomach due to competition from the community, long-term smoking, drinking and eating under the influence of structural changes, often become "troubled land." However, the current gastric cancer has become the second most common cancer, including men, women, the incidence rate is 1.5-2.5 times, especially in middle-aged men staggering. Early examination and early treatment is to reduce the most critical means of gastric cancer mortality.

Men suffering from stomach cancer were far more than women

According to the National Cancer Control Office of Dr. Yang Ling in 2006, published in the "World Journal of Gastroenterology" in the article estimated that in 2005, the incidence of gastric cancer in men up to 37.1/10 million, 17.4/10 million for females. Incidence of gastric cancer is much higher than men, women, in addition to men smoking and drinking more, the scientists found that estrogen has a protective effect on the stomach. Studies have shown that receiving hormone replacement therapy (which includes estrogen) in women, the incidence of stomach cancer rate has declined by 48%, of which the non-cardia gastric cancer reduces the risk of a rate of 66%, while the gastric cardia adenocarcinoma and a decrease by 32% .

Disease groups into the mainstream of middle-aged men

"Middle-aged men are the main disease groups in stomach." Medical College of Fudan University Cancer Hospital, director of oncology, said Professor Li Jin, big grand hunger, excessive alcohol and tobacco, life is not the law, which is caused by gastric function decline in middle-aged men the main reason. Secondly, the middle-aged men, job strain and the pressure of living is relatively large, the right cerebral cortex repeated negative stimulus, it is very easy to promote gastric lesions.

According to experts, the majority of middle-aged men suffering from stomach problems to varying degrees, especially gastric ulcer, such as gastric polyps, gastric ulcer, chronic atrophic gastritis and pernicious anemia and other diseases, have evolved into the possibility of stomach cancer.

At present, gastric cancer in China has leapt to the second most common cancer for men after lung cancer, the incidence of gastric cancer and prostate cancer, the mortality rate ranked second only to lung cancer, but it also increases with age significantly increased, the peak incidence concentrated in the 40-80 years of age.

Early examination and early treatment is the key

80% of gastric cancer patients had no early symptoms, and the number of deaths due to stomach cancer ranks second in cancer deaths, so its known as a "stealth killer," said.

Clinical Oncology, Peking University, Beijing Cancer Hospital, director of Shen-lin, Professor of Gastroenterology at the meeting pointed out that the early gastric cancer, only some mild indigestion and other symptoms, such as abdominal pain discomfort, mild fullness, pain, belching, nausea and so on, it is easily with gastric ulcer, gastritis confusion. Every year China added 400,000 patients with gastric cancer, early gastric cancer surgery rate is less than 10%.

Make more use of endoscopy in the early detection of gastric cancer, significantly reduced the mortality rate. If the gastric mucosa of gastric cancer is limited to 5-year survival rate of up to 95%. Therefore, early examination and early treatment is to reduce the most critical means of gastric cancer mortality.

She stressed that most of the diseases have a number of warning signals. Men over the age of 40, (those addicted to alcohol and tobacco should be relaxed to 35 years old) on a slight abdominal discomfort, should be screened; many years ago did stomach resection, postoperative recovery was good, recently took place indigestion, abdominal pain, vomiting, melena, health situation is significantly impaired, should also go to the hospital for gastroscopy early as possible.

To manage their mouth to prevent gastric cancer

Experts said that although the incidence of gastric cancer and genetic factors, living conditions, living habits, and so multi-factors, but most of man's stomach, but it is eating out. Prevention of gastric cancer, we must first manage their mouth:

1. Food should not be salty, eat smoked foods. High-salt, smoked foods cause gastric epithelial cells to produce carcinogens, such as increased sensitivity to N-nitroso compounds.

2. Stop smoking, drink less alcohol. Itself contains carcinogens in tobacco smokers than non-smokers, 50% of the high incidence of gastric cancer, and the lower the age to start smoking, the higher mortality rate. Alcohol will destroy gastric mucosal barrier, gastric cancer incidence rates were drinking liquor for non-drinkers may be 9 times.

3. As far as possible the law of diet, bogey eating too fast, eating hard food and eat too much iron.

4. As far as possible the implementation of "divide and chopsticks system." Carries half of the normal human body can promote gastric cancer, Helicobacter pylori, with a total pot of chopsticks to eat, parents and children to acts of-mouth can be fed to the bacteria infection.
