According to the survey, the incidence of gastric cancer for young people under the age of 35 up to 6% -11%, compared with more than three times higher than abroad, and the young man suffering from stomach cancer, the higher the degree of malignancy, a shorter survival time. Therefore, experts advise young people to change bad habits, but if you find gastritis, gastric polyps, ulcers and so should be actively treated, which to some extent is gastric precancerous lesions.
An increase in the incidence of gastric cancer in China accounts for four percent of global
Stomach cancer worldwide is a high incidence of malignant tumors, especially in our country. Ten years ago the incidence of gastric cancer in our country in the first row of this decade due to the cities of serious environmental pollution, plus smoke, car exhaust and other reasons, in the cities of gastric cancer has been exceeded in the first row, but in the incidence of gastric cancer in rural areas remains high.
But what makes the doctors surprise, the incidence of gastric cancer worldwide mainly concentrated in three countries --- China, Korea and Japan, gastric these three countries together account for two-thirds of the world, and the incidence of either absolute the number and relative numbers are more. Chairman of the Chinese Society of Clinical Oncology, said Qin Shukui Liberation Army Bayi Hospital, vice president, according to statistics, the incidence of gastric cancer accounted for about 42% of the world, the incidence of 400,000 cases per year; death toll of more than two-thirds, so each year The number of deaths due to stomach cancer at around 300,000 per year.
The reason for the high incidence of experts have done a lot of research so far has failed to find the exact cause, Qin Shukui noted that the etiology of gastric cancer is more complex, so far only some of the reasons that there are important factors, such as Helicobacter pylori infection, poor eating habits, and our eating habits which there is a big relationship, for example, we like to eat sauerkraut, eating moldy food, these foods nitrosamine content is relatively high, is likely to be the cause of stomach cancer one of the reasons.
Young simply hard work pay attention to diet
In our patients with gastric cancer, even more worrying is that young patients with gastric cancer is gradually increasing. Foreign literature, young people accounted for 2.01% of the total number of gastric cancer, according to many hospitals reported that the incidence of gastric cancer for young people under 35 years old have been as high as 6% -11%, which is still more than three times abroad.
"In the last year, I met a patient, is a newly graduated college students, graduate in August, September will detect cancer, died earlier this year. Counted from onset to death also four months. On this college The reason we can say that is closely related to unhealthy lifestyles, both smoking and drinking his, but also particularly like to eat salted fish, pickles, and finally appear life-threatening, doctors tried their best to rescue also conceding. "Qin Shukui talk to this case, when feelings of regret in the face of the whole performance.
Why do young people suffering from stomach cancer more? Qin Shukui said that the vast majority of tumors, especially gastric cancer is mainly caused by environmental factors, environmental factors account for 80% -85%, genetic and other factors account for only 10% -15%.
Young common factors that may cause stomach cancer are: (1) poor diet; (2) eat out, (3) the quality of the food is worrying, (4) the law of life.
Qin Shukui said the young man is in the pioneering days of fighting, battles away from home, starting a family or do not work far from home or eat at home need not be on time, every meal can easily deal with, there are young people like smoking, drinking, clubbing, nightlife rich, often people drink vomiting blood, as well as young people do not like to eat fresh vegetables, fresh vegetables does not know that vitamin C can block the formation of nitrosamines in the body. In addition, like dysplasia and chronic gastritis, gastric ulcer, stomach polyps active these lesions may be precancerous lesions, however, tend to be young these diseases do not care, do not pay attention, did not promptly treated.
Refractory malignant gastric young high
Clinically, youth cancer mostly found in advanced cases, the prognosis is poor. Qin Shukui said, the average survival rate of advanced gastric cancer is 6-9 months, gastric situation may be even worse for young people, probably not live six months.
First, the majority of young people in gastric occult gastrointestinal symptoms, not typical. They feel belching, indigestion and other stomach discomfort phenomenon, often because of "too painful to do endoscopy," just eat stomach or symptomatic treatment. Meanwhile, some doctors youth cancer vigilance is not high, one-sided view that young people rarely suffer from stomach cancer, not casually checked next to a "gastritis" conclusion.
More deep-seated reason is that young metabolism, tumor proliferation fast, easy early metastasis, so the high degree of malignancy. According to statistics, young people diagnosed with stomach cancer, the differentiation of the worst mucinous adenocarcinoma accounted for 50% -60%, which is 3-6 times the elderly gastric cancer, which directly affects the treatment of gastric cancer in young people.
In short, young patients with gastric cancer due to the clinic late, high degree of malignancy, surgical resection rate was 22% -24.6%, compared with the elderly, the prognosis is significantly worse. Therefore, the experts stressed that early detection, early diagnosis, early treatment is the key means of reducing youth cancer mortality.
