At present, cancer has become the leading cause of death in China, and the incidence and mortality are still rising, posing a huge threat to public health. Among them, the data released by the National Cancer Center in 2017 is chilling. According to the data, about 10000 people are diagnosed with cancer every day, many people even talk about cancer color change, so what factors can induce cancer? Follow the small edition of sihai.com to have a look.
According to the 2017 China urban cancer data report:
About 10000 people are diagnosed with cancer every day in China;
The risk of cancer was 35% between 0-85 years old;
After 40 years old, the incidence increased rapidly and reached the peak at 80 years old;
The incidence and mortality of lung cancer are the first;
Thyroid cancer increased rapidly;
Cancer mortality: high in small cities and low in big cities;
The leading causes of cancer mortality were lung cancer and digestive system cancer (gastric cancer, esophageal cancer).
The incidence of male in small cities and female in big cities is high;
Men in big cities: prostate cancer and colorectal cancer are at high risk;
Women in big cities: breast cancer and thyroid cancer are at the highest risk;
Although the causes of cancer are extremely complex, in fact, cancer is not as terrible as people think. With the development of medical technology, almost all cancers have treatment methods. But there is no doubt that the cost of cancer treatment will increase.
In the event of cancer, high medical costs are likely to impoverish families after treatment. Therefore, we might as well purchase a commercial insurance for ourselves before the risk comes, so that we can easily cope with it anytime, anywhere.
