This October is the 25th World Breast Cancer Awareness Month. About 1.4 million women worldwide suffer from breast cancer every year, and 400,000 women die of breast cancer. As the "number one killer" threatening women's health, the incidence and mortality of breast cancer in China are increasing rapidly, and the age of onset is becoming younger. The data show that the incidence of breast cancer in women has increased from 20-25 years old to the peak of 45-50 years old, 10 years earlier than Western women! It is imperative to implement the concept of disease that prescribes early detection and early treatment.
On October 24th, the “Breast Cancer Awareness Monthâ€, sponsored by the Ministry of Health's Disease Prevention and Control Bureau and the China Anti-Cancer Association, and co-organized by Shanghai Roche Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., “Join Hands Hope – China Cancer (Special Interview Consultation) Prevention and Popularization Promotion†Unveiled.
The event aims to promote the concept of “focusing on breast cancer†and the methods of scientific treatment to the whole society, helping patients to establish anti-cancer confidence.
"Hopefully, it is very important to insist!" - Professor Zhang Guangchao, Secretary General of China Anti-Cancer Association, commented on the importance of adequate chemotherapy. Director Lei Zhenglong of the Department of Disease Control of the Ministry of Health of the Ministry of Health called for: "Cancer prevention and control is a systematic project of the whole society, which requires the active participation and correct action of patients." Professor Zhi Xiuyi, Minister of Propaganda Department of China Anti-Cancer Association stressed: The education of cancer patients should always be unremitting, and comprehensively occupy three strategic highlands of inspection, treatment and psychological construction.
Not careless - once every six months, actively "discharge"
It is reported that in the "China Cancer Prevention and Control Plan (2004-2010)" formulated by the Ministry of Health, breast cancer has been listed as one of the focuses of cancer prevention and treatment in China. Professor Jiang Zefei, director of the Breast Cancer Department of the Affiliated Hospital of the Academy of Military Medical Sciences (the 307th Hospital of the People's Liberation Army), said that it is one of the best ways to maintain a keen alert for breast cancer, a cancer that can achieve good early results. As a high-risk group of breast cancer, you should pay attention to self-test at all times, at least half a year to the hospital to conduct a breast health check. Professor Xu Binghe, deputy director of the Department of Internal Medicine of the Beijing Cancer Hospital and deputy director of the Breast Disease Diagnosis and Treatment Center, further explained the composition of the high-risk population: family history of breast cancer; menstrual menstruation before the age of 12; child born after 30 years old, unpregnant over 40 years old, single Adults with excessive marriage or short marriage time; women with breast cancer on one side; those with breast lobular hyperplasia or ductal hyperplasia, obesity or diabetes; girls who are exposed to radiation and have long-term exposure to radiation.
In this year's "Join the Hope - Caring for Breast Cancer" campaign, Professor Jiang Zefei and Professor Xu Binghe presided over large-scale patient education and consultation, providing authoritative examination and diagnostic advice for patients, facilitating patients to receive systemic treatment as soon as possible. .
Not blind - chemotherapy, targeting, correct medication
"Some patients who are diagnosed with breast cancer are panicked, indiscriminately investing in medicine, and even hope that some of the rumors of the 'ancestor secret recipe' have missed the best treatment opportunity," Professor Jiang Zefei said sadly. "In the hospital." Receiving scientific diagnosis and treatment, through chemotherapy, new targeted therapy, gene therapy and other comprehensive treatments to face breast cancer is the 'upper policy' of 'protesting the enemy'.
Professor Jiang Zefei explained, "Breast cancer is manifested as a systemic disease from the onset of the disease. Breast cancer is split from a single cell to a 1 cm diameter mass. It needs to be multiplied 30 times for about 3 years. Therefore, as a systemic treatment. Chemotherapy has become an indispensable part of breast cancer treatment. Practice has shown that chemotherapy can significantly reduce the recurrence rate after surgery. Chemotherapy should start as soon as possible after surgery, generally requiring 6 courses of treatment. Chemotherapy with the only oral targeted chemotherapy drug, Xeloda, not only significantly prolongs the survival of cancer patients, but also achieves home chemotherapy, giving patients better anticancer effects.
Professor Xu Binghe reminded that for a small number of 25% to 30% of HER2-positive breast cancer patients, HER2-positive basic therapy should be used, using the targeted drug Herceptin (trastuzumab), in addition to being able to effectively treat early breast. In addition to cancer, survival in advanced (metastasis) conditions is also significantly improved. The anti-HER2 base drug Herceptin does not have the toxic side effects of chemotherapy drugs, such as common hair loss in chemotherapy. In addition, the safety of each anti-HER2 drug is also very different, for example, some drugs have severe diarrhea that prevents patients from adhering to treatment, and the safety of Herceptin has been proven by 600,000 patients worldwide.
Don't give up - psychological construction, confidence is king
From Audrey Hepburn, Chen Xiaoxu to Ye Fan, the “female killer†breast cancer continues to take away beautiful life, and the numbers are shocking. In clinical treatment, experts have discovered an interesting phenomenon: early breast cancer patients are mostly confident in the treatment, and through active cooperation, often achieve good results - the cure rate of early breast cancer is as high as 75%. Once the patient is found to be metastatic, the condition often deteriorates rapidly.
A large part of this is not a psychological barrier. It is considered that metastasis is equivalent to a terminal illness. Treatment is only "burning money" and dragging down the family. Therefore, it has been psychologically chosen to give up without treatment. Extreme patients end their lives early. Other patients are afraid of the toxic side effects of chemotherapy, and mental depression leads to poor efficacy and early death. Professor Jiang Zefei said, "The two harms are lighter. Although chemotherapy has toxic side effects, chemotherapy is a key guarantee to suppress tumors and recover lost life. Can not be ruined because of phlegm." Professor Xu Binghe reminded patients: the performance and resistance of chemotherapy side effects Responsibility varies from person to person, and there is no need to influence your treatment because of adverse reactions in other patients. Moreover, there are many ways to alleviate side effects.

At the same time, patients encourage each other and infect each other with an optimistic attitude, which is also beneficial to the treatment of the disease. In the “Join Hands – Focus on Breast Cancer†campaign, large patient education provides an opportunity for patient interaction and help. Experts finally pointed out: "Adhere to a sufficient amount of chemotherapy treatment, have a good attitude, and correctly treat even metastatic breast cancer, long-term survival with cancer is possible!"
