Cancer was not found sooner, the better
By admin • Dec 15th, 2008 • Category: CancerWith the development of medical science, mankind’s ability to diagnose early cancer of the growing tumor can be found in the body is getting smaller and smaller. This medical progress against cancer in patients with early stage ought to have been a good thing, but recently a number of U.S. medical experts to this scientific progress brought about by the clinical effectiveness into question.
Early detection, early treatment has been medically to deal with the tenets of cancer, but many scientists believe is too early discovery of cancer patients is not a good thing, unless the governing right and wrong can not be cancer. This may sound a bit unreasonable sense, but scientists studies have shown that most of the early stage of cancer, if doctors do not find that they will not increase or deterioration.
At present, medical facing the biggest challenge is how to determine which tumors in the early years after the body will produce what kind of harm. Now that can not be determined by the existing theory and medical ethics as well as the wishes of their patients, regardless of what kind of early cancer should be as soon as possible to take some kind of treatment, often surgery and chemotherapy. Vermont’s medical experts, Walsh said: “The sound of the tumor surgery or chemotherapy is not only useless but harmful, and some treatment will bring about serious consequences, even for potentially harmful early diagnosis and treatment of tumors are not entirely useful. ”
Bournemouth University special assessment of the clinical center Blake said: “People have every reason to believe that many early cancers do not have to conduct clinical significance.” He said that the autopsy results showed that 4-50-year-old woman in 39 % Of women with breast tumors exist, 46% of 60-70 year-old male was found suffering from prostate cancer. These tumors are small, there is no proliferation, but no symptoms if they had been found, they will be considered in patients with breast or prostate cancer, and accept the corresponding treatment. But in real life, the corresponding age group in breast cancer and prostate cancer incidence is only 1%. The autopsy also found that almost all 5-70-year-old who has thyroid cancer with micro-tumor, and the incidence of thyroid only 1%.
Over the discovery of cancer today’s definition of a great deal of doubt. The term usually means that the potential and the proliferation of deadly. Black said: “I ‘cancer and tumors’ abuse of the term is most concerned about, to the’ cancer, ‘the term given too much weight to such an extent that it can inhibit people’s rational thinking. Even if you tell a person He is suffering from cancer early, and not deteriorate, which also help patients, because most people do not think that the treatment of cancer will take away his life. “Hopkins University Professor Sid Natan recommends that scientists will turn their attention to high-risk cancer screening up, and early diagnosis of cancer of advanced technology for anti-cancer drug development.
