You may be eating these carcinogens every day! Huaxi doctors: The best way to prevent cancer is...

When it comes to cancer, everyone always feels familiar and strange...

What is familiar is that there are many people around me who know someone suffering from cancer, whether it is the most gentle thyroid cancer or the most dangerous pancreatic cancer, it is a pity;

What is strange is that we often wonder: How can a healthy person get cancer? What can we do to effectively prevent cancer?

More than 4.5 million new cancer cases in China in 2020

Cancer deaths reach 3 million

We are not doing enough to prevent cancer

Many people are even exposed to carcinogens every day.

But I don’t know!

Dr. Li Nanjing from the Department of Radiation Oncology reminds everyone

Although it is foolish to talk about toxicity without considering the dosage

But be careful with these common carcinogens!

List of internationally recognized carcinogens, save it now!

The World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer has published a list of carcinogens, dividing carcinogens into categories 1-4.

Category 1 carcinogens: artificially determined carcinogens

Class 2A carcinogens: likely to cause cancer in humans

Class 2B carcinogens: may cause cancer in humans

Category 3 carcinogens: suspected carcinogenicity to humans

Category 4 carcinogens: Probably not carcinogenic to humans

Among them, categories 1 and 2 are particularly worthy of attention! Dr. Li Nanjing from the Department of Radiation Oncology at West China Hospital introduces the following 10 common carcinogens in life. Read them carefully and stay away from carcinogens together.

Preventing cancer is actually very simple

Having mentioned so many carcinogens, don’t panic, but stay rational and analyze the specific situation. In short:

① Some carcinogens should be avoided as much as possible, such as moldy food, alcohol, tobacco, etc., because even a small amount of contact can cause cancer;

② For some, just pay attention to controlling the intake, such as barbecue, kimchi, ultraviolet rays, etc.;

③ Some things need to be considered, and contact should still be had, such as some medical examinations.

In short, as long as we pay attention to developing good living habits, quit smoking and drinking, eat healthily, exercise regularly, have regular physical examinations, get vaccinated, etc., we can greatly reduce the possibility of getting cancer.

Even if you unfortunately get cancer, most cancers can still be cured if they are discovered and treated early.
