Mr. Lin, 51 years old, has a long history of smoking. Although he is not overly obese, his BMI is 27.5, which is considered obese. As a businessman, he often works overtime. He already finds working on weekdays too strenuous, so he just wants to rest and relax on vacation. He often consoles himself with delicious food and has not developed any exercise habits. Recently, through the introduction of relatives and friends, he went to the hospital for an advanced imaging health examination and found that the bronchial walls were thickened and slightly infiltrated in the lungs, and there were three polyps in the colon.

Liang Chengchao, deputy director of the hospital for health management, said that given Mr. Lin’s long-term smoking history and his dietary habit of preferring to eat high-fat foods and not eating vegetables, gastrointestinal endoscopy and low-dose pulmonary endoscopy were included the health examination. Computed Tomography. As a result, after the imaging report was published on the day of physical examination, it was found that he had smoked for a long time and had thickening of the bronchial walls and mild infiltration in the lungs. After examination, the radiologist believed that it may be related to chronic pneumonia caused by long-term smoking.
The doctor who explained the report to him then performed a colonoscopy on him and found three polyps of different sizes, one of which was an adenomatous polyp with a high risk of cancer and was over 1 cm in size. The doctor who performed the endoscopic examination on him removed the polyps that were found. A subsequent pathological examination revealed that one of these was a tubular adenoma and had developed in situ into a colorectal carcinoma. Fortunately, it was discovered early and the cancer cells were only in the epithelial cell layer. During the polypectomy, the cancer cells were removed at the same time.
Vice President Liang Chengchao explained that the staging of colorectal cancer is mainly based on the depth of tumor invasion of the intestinal mucosa, the presence or absence of lymph node invasion and distant metastasis. The greatest luck in the clinical treatment of colorectal cancer at present is that when stage 0 colorectal cancer (carcinoma in situ) is detected, only a colonoscopy is required to remove the tumor. However, if the tumor is too large or the edges are not clean after resection, tumors will occur. If the cells remain, they must be surgically removed.

Pay attention to the 8 main risk factors for colon cancer!In the early stages, there are almost no symptoms and they are easy to ignore.
Since colon cancer has almost no obvious symptoms in the early stages, it usually only develops in the advanced stages. Liang Chengchao pointed out that the symptoms of colon cancer in situ are almost asymptomatic, and most of them are only discovered after reading the health examination report. For this reason, high-risk groups are always encouraged to take the initiative and carry out early health screening on a regular basis. .
In addition, Dr. Liang Chengchao reminded the public that most people think that smoking only affects the lungs, but in fact it also increases the risk of colon cancer. In addition to smoking, risk factors for colon cancer include age (over 50 years), family history, ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s disease, obesity, alcohol abuse and a diet high in fat, red meat or low in fiber. If you have the above factors, you are in a high-risk group for colon cancer.
Although colorectal cancer was the most common cancer in the country this year, it was relegated to the second most common cancer. However, around 16,000 people still develop colon cancer every year and more than 6,000 people die from it. Dr. Liang Chengchao also reminded the public that colorectal cancer is a type of cancer that can be prevented through health examinations, and the earlier it is detected, the higher the prognosis and survival rate. If active screening is carried out and the stage 0-1 disease is detected early, the 5-year survival rate can be up to over 90%.
