What are the characteristics of cancer physical examination in Japan?

Three characteristics of Japanese cancer physical examination: high detection rate, strong pertinence and high cure rate. In Japanese cancer physical examination, it can be found that cancers smaller than 5mm are in stage I, and cancer cells have not infiltrated (located in epidermis and mucosa, and have not penetrated into muscles), spread (spread to all organs), metastasized (transferred to other organs), and even stage 0 (primary cancer). It is fortunate to find such a cancer, which can be cured by excision. If you pay attention to lifestyle changes, you will generally not relapse. When cancer enters stage II, III or IV, that is, in the middle and late stage of cancer, cancer cells spread and metastasize. Large-scale surgical resection and radiotherapy and chemotherapy can not completely eliminate cancer cells, and often relapse and lead to incurable. It can be seen that in cancer discovery technology, the difference in millimeters is the difference between life and death.

PET-CT is commonly used in cancer physical examination in Japan. PET-CT is the high-end performance of X-ray imaging, X-ray tomography. PET-CT scans the whole body (head, neck, chest, abdomen, pelvic cavity and limbs) 15-30 minutes at a time, and can obtain the whole body images of PET, CT and their fusion respectively, so as to visually see the affected part of the disease. Its specialty is to detect the pathological changes of cancer tissue, which can find tumor lesions earlier and more subtly. This is an advanced tumor detection technology in clinical application.

At present, in common imaging facilities, CT and MRI have become important means of tumor diagnosis and treatment, which can show the fine anatomical structure of the body, but it is still difficult to distinguish tumor residue, local recurrence and changes after treatment. PET can reflect the physiological, pathological, biochemical and metabolic changes of human tissues at the molecular level, and is an effective method for diagnosis, staging, re-staging, curative effect evaluation, monitoring metastasis and recurrence of various malignant tumors.

Cancer screening is an important measure for cancer prevention. The treatment methods and the possibility of recovery of early cancer and late cancer are completely different. Early detection, early treatment and early recovery are our correct views on cancer.
