More than 10,000 young people suffer from cancer every year.
" Suffer from cancer " is no longer just for the elderly. According to the National Health Administration's cancer registration data, one out of every ten cancer patients is young from the age of 44 to 44 currently. Some doctors remind young people that they can't think that they are young and healthy, and ignore their daily health care!
According to statistics, the total number of young people who account for cancer is about 10% in recent years. For example: In 2016, the total number of cancers in the country was 100,583,5, and there were 10,844 young people aged 20-44, and the number of cancer deaths decreased every year; from 2 to 3, from 2013 to 2017, they were 2,452, 2,396, and 2,301. People, 2273 people, 2106 people.
Young patient suffer from common cancer types are: breast cancer, thyroid cancer, colorectal cancer.
The rankings of young cancer patients are breast cancer and thyroid cancer. There are more than 2,000 people and 1,000 people with cancer each year respectively. The third-largest colorectal cancer was 857 in 2010 and 1069 in 2016 with a slight growth. Fortunately, more and more people are paying attention to early screening for colorectal cancer. The CEO of the Taiwan Cancer Foundation pointed out that the Foundation has organized screening activities for colorectal polyps. The target group is the people over the age of 50 who can be screened for colorectal cancer in the National Cancer Department's "four cancer screening". Many people who screened for large intestine polyps were under 50 years old, and some were only 30 or 40 years old. They found problems through self-funded tests. The present generation has a good health awareness.
The incidence of lung cancer has risen slightly, and it has also occurred in young people. Some doctors pointed out that the age of patients with clinical observation of lung cancer is gradually declining, and a small part is because the public's health awareness is improved and they are tested by themselves. However, the number of people who smoke in Taiwan has not been much in recent years, and the age group has not declined. The lung cancer is likely to be related to the overall environment of the environment and air pollution, and family history is also a risk factor.
