What should I pay attention to when doing cancer screening in Japan?

The items in the medical examination package of Japanese medical examination are also very complete, from basic blood examination and internal medicine examination to gastroscopy, colonoscopy and CT examination. You don't have to go back and forth, you can take care of everything from beginning to end in one exam. Reasonable examination items ensure that cancer can be screened out at an early stage, and early examination, early detection and early treatment are no joke.

How to choose cancer examination items correctly in Japanese physical examination

After getting to know the general situation of medical examination in Japan, it is very important to choose the medical examination items that suit you. Correct examination method is a good start for successful cancer screening, and it is also important not to blindly choose physical examination items.

Lung cancer screening: CT is the first choice

Most people's screening methods for lung cancer are still at the stage of X-ray, but in fact, due to the overlap of chest organs, it is difficult to distinguish the symptoms of early lung cancer from medical images taken by X-ray. The lung cancer that can be detected by X-ray is basically in the middle and late stage, and it is very difficult to treat lung cancer at this time.

Low-dose spiral CT imaging is more accurate and effective in the detection of early lung cancer. It is suggested that middle-aged and elderly people over 50 years old, or people with long-term smoking habits and family history of lung cancer, must choose CT to screen lung cancer during physical examination.

Gynecological cancer screening: cervical cells and uterine somatic cells can not be less.

When many people talk about cervical cancer examination, the first thing that comes to mind is human papillomavirus examination, but human papillomavirus examination is only the examination of the cause of cervical cancer. In order to really find out whether there is cervical cancer, TCT examination is the right choice.

TCT examination, also known as cervical cytology examination, will take a small number of cell samples from the cervix for smear examination. The detection rate of TCT for cervical cancer cells can reach more than 90%.

In addition, there are uterine somatic cells. When many people talk about gynecological cancer, it is easy to ignore a disease, that is, uterine somatic cancer. In addition, in the domestic examination, only cervical smear is generally done, and uterine somatic cells are rarely examined.

At present, uterine somatic cell examination is the most effective method to detect whether there is uterine body cancer. If found in time, the incidence of uterine body cancer can reach more than 90%.

Gastrointestinal cancer: Gastroscope and colonoscopy are irreplaceable.

Whether it is eating habits or irregular diet, it is undeniable that the incidence of gastric cancer and intestinal cancer in China has been high. In addition to paying attention to daily habits, mastering reasonable inspection methods is the key.

If you want to screen for gastric cancer, gastroscopy is definitely the first choice. If suspicious lesions are found in gastroscopy, direct sampling for biopsy will have a very high detection rate. Colorectal cancer can only be assisted by basic stool examination, and colonoscopy is the key to discover the potential cancer risk.

In addition, there is another examination that has troubled everyone for a long time, that is, the examination of tumor markers, which belongs to blood examination. Many cancer patients, the results of tumor markers have always been normal, but finally got cancer.

The examination of tumor markers can only be used as an auxiliary means. Simply put, the abnormal test results are not necessarily due to cancer, but may be inflammation or endocrine problems in the body; Normal test results do not mean that there is no problem, which may be because the "compensation" of the human body is playing a role.

These are just some notable misunderstandings in Japanese physical examination. Checking the reasonable combination of packages and items is the key to finding cancer. Families who need overseas medical treatment or medical examination are usually advised to make an appointment and arrange overseas medical examination through professional service institutions. Among them, Duojian is a good choice.
