Tips on intestinal cancer prevention

The latest data from the National Cancer Center shows that the incidence rate of intestinal cancer in China is increasing year by year. If we can attach more importance to intestinal health, we can prevent intestinal cancer and keep our intestines healthy.

 

Cancer can occur in any part of the intestines, but it usually occurs on the mucosal lining of the colon or rectum, and there are usually no obvious symptoms in the early stages.

 

As the tumor grows, it affects the intestinal lumen and leads to obvious intestinal lesions, which is the typical manifestation.

 

According to the location and characteristics of intestinal cancer lesions, patients may experience different symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, constipation and bloody stools.

 

If intestinal cancer is not treated in time, cancer cells may spread to other parts of the body, such as the liver and lungs, threatening our health.

 

 

There are many high-risk factors for intestinal cancer, with age being a major one. The incidence rate of intestinal cancer increases with age, especially for people over 50 years old. Therefore, high-risk populations need to take regular intestinal cancer screening in order to detect and treat it early.

 

Poor dietary habit is one of the main high-risk factors for intestinal cancer. A high-fat, high-cholesterol and low-fiber diet is associated with the occurrence of intestinal cancer. In addition, excessive intake of red meat and processed meat products can also increase the risk of intestinal cancer.

 

If there is a family history of intestinal cancer, your risk of developing the cancer will also increase. We should pay attention to the screening and prevention of intestinal cancer, especially for high-risk groups, to ensure intestinal health.

 

 

Pickled vegetables and fried foods contain a large amount of salt and oil, which can stimulate the intestines and be detrimental to the health of the intestines and the body.

 

 

Moldy food contains a large number of carcinogens, which may directly increase the risk of intestinal cancer and other gastrointestinal tumors. 

 

Smoking and alcohol consumption are two of the main risk factors for intestinal cancer and many malignant tumors. Quitting smoking and limiting alcohol consumption can significantly reduce the occurrence of tumor.
