There are three kinds of diseases that men are most often overlooked. They are often found at the end of their illness or when the medicine is ineffective.
Lung cancer, colorectal cancer and liver cancer are the most common cancers in the world. Among male cancer patients, breast cancer, testicular cancer and pancreatic cancer are their hidden killers. Because these three types of cancer are not among the common cancers in men, and the symptoms are not obvious, they are often ignored and more likely to kill!
Pancreatic cancer is mostly found in the late stage
Last week, the world famous singer Pavarotti died of worsening pancreatic cancer. He was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer last year and underwent surgery to remove cancer cells in June of the same year.
The human pancreas has two functions: one is to secrete insulin, so that cells can use glucose in the blood; Another function is to secrete pancreatic juice, which is used to decompose proteins. Most patients with pancreatic cancer are over 50 years old, and most of them are men. Pancreatic cancer is mostly found in the late stage, and the chances of survival of patients over 5 years are less than 5%.
One of 80 breast cancer patients was male
Jaundice patients have yellowish skin and white eyes, such as hard masses in the abdomen, which may be a precursor of pancreatic cancer. The patient has a poor appetite, is getting thinner and thinner, and sometimes feels abdominal pain. As most of the patients are elderly, they often mistakenly believe that anorexia is caused by old age. However, when patients feel pain, their condition has entered a later stage, and most of them are incurable. In general, it is impossible to diagnose pancreatic cancer on the spot. It can only be determined by scanning.
Although men do not have breasts, they still have adipose tissue in their breasts, which is also at risk of breast cancer. But because only one in every 80 breast cancer patients is male, men are easy to take it lightly.
Unlike women, men have less chest meat, so cancer cells can easily “eat through” the skin or sternum and quickly deteriorate to the advanced stage. When cancer cells spread to lymph glands or other organs, the effectiveness of treatment is greatly reduced.
The symptoms of male breast cancer are similar to those of women, all of which are lumps or lumps on the chest, or bleeding, ulceration, and long-term failure to heal. The method of treating breast cancer is the same for both men and women. First, they undergo clinical tests, mammograms or ultrasound, and then undergo biopsy. If the condition is serious, the patient must have his breast removed.
