This year's publicity week theme is "Early Action for Cancer Prevention and Control"

Core information and knowledge points for cancer prevention and control

Cancer is a chronic disease that seriously endangers public health.

Cancer is a general term for a large class of diseases. In our country, there are more than350hundred thousand new cancer cases each year, and more than200hundred thousand deaths, making the prevention and control situation severe. The most common cancers in our country include lung cancer, breast cancer, gastric cancer, liver cancer, colorectal cancer, esophageal cancer, cervical cancer, thyroid cancer, etc. In recent years, the incidence of lung cancer, breast cancer, and colorectal cancer has shown a significant upward trend, while the incidence rates of liver cancer, gastric cancer, and esophageal cancer remain high.

Cancer is preventable.

The World Health Organization states: One-third of cancers can be completely prevented; one-third of cancers can be cured through early detection; one-third of cancers can use existing medical measures to prolong life, alleviate suffering, and improve quality of life. We can carry out cancer prevention and control through three levels of prevention: primary prevention is to prevent causes and reduce harm from adverse external factors; secondary prevention is early detection, early diagnosis, and early treatment; tertiary prevention is to improve quality of life and prolong survival.

Changing unhealthy lifestyles can prevent the occurrence of cancer.

The World Health Organization considers cancer to be a lifestyle disease. Smoking, obesity, lack of exercise, unhealthy dietary habits, excessive drinking, stress, and psychological tension are all risk factors for cancer. Quitting smoking and limiting alcohol, maintaining a balanced diet, exercising moderately, and having a positive mood can effectively reduce the occurrence of cancer. The occurrence of cancer is a process of accumulation of related risk factors throughout a person's life cycle. Cancer prevention and control is not just an issue for middle-aged and elderly people; attention to cancer prevention should start early, cultivating healthy lifestyles from a young age, avoiding exposure to carcinogenic factors such as tobacco and alcohol, and reducing the risk of cancer.

Cancer is not contagious, but some carcinogenic factors can be transmitted.

Cancer is caused by changes in the genes of one's own cells and is not contagious. Some bacteria (such as Helicobacter pylori) and viruses (such as human papillomavirus, hepatitis virus, EB virus, etc.) that are closely related to the occurrence of cancer can be transmitted. By maintaining personal hygiene and a healthy lifestyle, and getting vaccinated (such as hepatitis virus vaccine, human papillomavirus vaccine), one can avoid infections from related bacteria and viruses, thus preventing the occurrence of cancer.EBVirus, etc.) can be transmitted. By maintaining personal hygiene and a healthy lifestyle, and getting vaccinated (such as hepatitis virus vaccine, human papillomavirus vaccine), one can avoid infections from related bacteria and viruses, thus preventing the occurrence of cancer.

Standardized cancer screening can detect cancer early.

Cancer screening is a physical examination conducted based on cancer risk assessment, aimed at informing the public of their cancer risk, detecting early cancer or precancerous lesions, and facilitating early intervention.

Early diagnosis and treatment are key to improving cancer survival rates.

The effectiveness of cancer treatment and survival time are closely related to how early cancer is detected; the earlier it is discovered, the better the treatment effect and the longer the survival time.

When cancer is detected, choose a regular hospital for standardized treatment.

Cancer treatment methods include two main categories: surgical treatment and non-surgical treatment, with non-surgical treatment including radiotherapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, endocrine therapy, and traditional Chinese medicine treatment.

Cancer rehabilitation treatment can effectively improve patients' survival time and quality of life.

Cancer rehabilitation treatment includes psychological rehabilitation and physiological rehabilitation, which are necessary continuations and improvements of clinical treatment. The rehabilitation of cancer patients should include: an optimistic mindset, a balanced diet, appropriate exercise, reasonable medication, and regular check-ups. Pain is the most common and primary symptom for cancer patients. It is important to actively manage pain through scientific pain relief methods with the help of doctors, rather than enduring suffering. One should face cancer head-on, actively adjust the body's immunity, maintain a good physical and mental state, achieve long-term stability of the condition, and coexist peacefully with cancer.

Zhuhai Miditech Biopharmaceutical Co., Ltd. is a high-tech enterprise focusing on traditional Chinese medicine for anti-tumor treatment. The company's leading product, the patented traditional Chinese medicine Sanjie Pian (for treating liver cancer and cirrhosis), has obtained registration approval and is on the market. Centered on Sanjie Pian, the company also has exclusive patented anti-tumor traditional Chinese medicine series used in traditional Chinese medicine clinics for many years, such as Baishan Pian (for treating lung cancer and nasopharyngeal cancer, has obtained clinical approval), Rukangning capsules (for treating breast cancer), Goning capsules (for treating cervical cancer), and Xiaojieling capsules (for treating gastric cancer and intestinal cancer), covering five of the top ten malignant tumors in China.

Traditional Chinese medicine Sanjie Pian has obtained national drug administration approval, new drug certificate, invention patent, national high-tech product certificate, and has won the gold medal for the "Invention and Entrepreneurship Award - Project Award" at the National Invention Exhibition, as well as being a top 100 project in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area High-Value Patent Cultivation and Layout Competition. In 2021, the anti-liver cancer traditional Chinese medicine Sanjie Pian passed the expert review of the Ministry of Science and Technology, achieving a level of domestic advanced technology, and the research results were included in the National Science and Technology Achievements Database (No. 6012021Y0389). The main functions of Sanjie Pian are: clearing heat and detoxifying, softening hardness and dissipating masses, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. It has a certain inhibitory effect on the growth of primary liver cancer with dampness and stasis syndrome, and when combined with interventional chemotherapy, it can significantly improve clinical efficacy. Sanjie Pian for treating liver cancer has a total effective rate of 86.0%, and a five-year survival rate of 36.4% (the current five-year survival rate for liver cancer in China is only 12.5%), making it a key therapeutic drug to achieve the goal of "Healthy China 2030" to increase the overall five-year survival rate of cancer by 15%.

 At the same time, Miditech also focuses on the rehabilitation of cancer patients, utilizing its advantages to successively launch products suitable for patients to aid in their recovery, such as Beiqinglong Yi drink slices and medium and long-chain fatty acid solid powder. Miditech has also launched many products using traditional Chinese medicine that shares the same source as food, aimed at helping people adjust their bodies to achieve a better state of survival. Miditech hopes to absorb the essence of traditional Chinese medicine culture and use modern high-tech to provide safe, reliable, and effective products for people.
