Development cancer was a very rare case that no one has given up

Appendix cancer                                                                                   

Mennic cancer increases among young people .. and experts are confused

For decades, appendic cancer was a type of diseases that doctors only corresponded to once or twice during their career, as it was often discovered in the elderly. But he recently started taking a sudden and worrying trend, as appendic cancer has become a growing pace, and it affects increasingly people in the thirties and forties of age, and even younger. This shift also left many experts confused, trying to find answers.

 Appendix

The appendix is ​​defined as a small finger bag, connected to the large intestine. While its role in the body is still controversial, it is particularly known as it causes a painful inflammation that often requires urgent surgery, and what is less famous is that cancer can develop in appendix, usually without any warning signs. A new study also showed that the number of appendix cancer cases has increased dramatically among people born after the 1970s. In fact, the rates of infection have multiplied three times or even four times in young generations compared to those born in the 1940s.

While the total numbers are still small (appendic cancer affects a few people per million people annually), the rapid rise in consideration. Also, the most striking is that one in three cases now affect adults under the age of fifty, which is a much higher percentage of those observed in other types of digestive system cancers.

Although the reason is unknown with certainty, it may be one of the first reasons for the radical change in the lifestyle and the environment over the past few decades, as obesity rates have increased sharply since the 1970s, and weight gain is a known risk factor for many types of cancer, including digestive system cancers.

At the same time, diets turned towards processed foods, sugary drinks, red or processed meat, all of which were associated with an increase in the risk of cancer in other parts of the intestine. Physical activity has also decreased, as many spend long hours sitting on offices or in front of the screens. Another possibility is to expose people to new environmental factors that previous generations have not faced. Manufacturing in food production, wide use of plastic, chemicals and changes in water quality also plays a role in this.

Difficulty detection and the most important tips

It is noteworthy that the biggest challenge to appendic cancer is the difficulty of discovering it. Unlike colon cancer, which can be discovered early sometimes through colonoscopy, appendic cancer usually passes without noticing. The symptoms are, if they appear, vague and easy to ignore.

People can also suffer from mild pain in the abdomen, swelling or changes in bowel habits, which are common complaints of many benign cases. As a result, most cases are discovered only after surgery on suspicion of appendicitis, when the time is often very late for early intervention. Although the number of cases high, there is no routine examination of appendic cancer.

This disease is also very rare so that it does not justify a large -scale examination, and it is difficult to diagnose the appendix with standard photography or internal theorizing, which means that each of the patients and doctors should exercise extreme caution. Some recent research indicates that exposure to antibiotics at an early stage of life may have long -term effects on the digestive system, but more studies are needed to confirm this link.

As for the best advice at the present time, the focus on prevention, awareness, maintaining a healthy weight and following a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains and physical activity is the best steps. Also, avoiding tobacco is also important, but all of these measures do not guarantee protection from appendix cancer, but they are strategies installed for public health.
