The most cancer-prone organs – the opinion of the expert of the MCSC
NewsProfessorKonstantin Sergeyevich Titov, head of the otnkosurgical department of skin and Soft tissue tumors of the MCSC, named the most cancer-prone organs according to statistics relevant not only for Russia, but also for developed countries of the world, to the correspondent of the radio station "Says Moscow».
The oncologist named the most cancer-prone organs.
This statistic is relevant not only for Russia, but also for the developed countries of the world.
This is what Konstantin Titov, head of the Oncosurgical Department of Skin and Soft Tissue Tumors at the Loginov Moscow Clinical Research and Practice Center, told the correspondent of the radio station "Moscow Speaks".
"There are leaders in morbidity. These are lung cancer, breast cancer in women, malignant skin tumors, cancer of the colon and rectum, and prostate cancer. With early detection of the tumor in its small size without metastases, treatment provides complete elimination of the tumor in 80-90% of cases. All patients with an early form of the disease are treated less aggressively. Most often, organ-preserving surgery is performed, radiation therapy is not always required, and additional chemotherapy is rarely required."
The oncologist also refuted the popular version that the cancer has become younger.
"Through screening, if all patients at a certain age are put through screening programs, we can detect cancer early enough. But in general, cancer is a 90% acquired disease, which most often affects the elderly. Of course, children also get sick, but rarely; less often than the elderly, young people get sick."
At the end of July, Moscow polyclinics launched a program for early diagnosis of cancer. As reported today in the press service of the Moscow Department of Health, the most popular type of examination among Muscovites was a test for hidden blood in the feces. This study helps identify the signs of colorectal cancer.
