EY study Corona is changing the pharmaceutical industry

Status: June 21, 2021 3:53 p.m.

The corona pandemic did not give the pharmaceutical industry a boost in 2020, it actually slowed it down. According to an EY study, only cancer medicine and ophthalmology are booming.

Is “Big Pharma” but not a beneficiary of the corona pandemic? The management consultants from EY (formerly Ernst & Young) are convinced: “The corona crisis was not a growth driver in the past year, on the contrary, it led to higher spending on research and development”, says Klaus Ort, head of EY’s Life Sciences & Healthcare market segment in German-speaking countries. “The pharmaceutical industry wasn’t a big winner from the pandemic.” In fact, sales of the world’s 21 largest pharmaceutical companies rose by just 4.4 percent in 2020. In the year before the pandemic, the increase was almost 13 percent. However, this was also due to a billion-dollar takeover in the industry.

Corona slowed growth

According to Ort, Corona led to delays in various treatments. Among other things, the fact that fewer operations were carried out in hospitals had a negative effect. This slowed down sales of the corresponding drugs and therapies. In the case of funds for heart and circulatory diseases, for example, revenues stagnated after having increased significantly in 2019. Sales of therapeutics for respiratory diseases even fell. Place refers to the wearing of face and nose masks as the reason, which also prevented infectious diseases such as flu.

Corona surge will not come until 2021

With sales of 26.4 billion euros, vaccines only made up a good five percent of total sales last year “Big Pharma” out. That should change in 2021. The US pharmaceutical giant Pfizer has already announced that the corona vaccine Comirnaty will flush a good 15 billion dollars into the coffers. That’s a good quarter of Pfizer’s total sales. “At Pfizer, Corona will only have an impact on sales in 2021″says EY expert Ort.

Pfizer partner BioNTech also expects an enormous growth spurt in new, unimagined dimensions this year. The Mainz corona vaccine pioneer expects sales of 9.8 billion euros for 2021 and should thus become the third largest German pharmaceutical manufacturer – behind Bayer and Boehringer.

766 Covid vaccines and therapeutics pending

EY was unable to quantify how high the market volume for combating corona is. However, the management consultants see huge potential. They refer to 260 vaccine candidates who are currently in studies. So far, only four vaccines have been approved. “The four big players dominate the market and will continue to do so”, predicts Alexander Nuyken, co-author of the study and head of life sciences transaction consulting at EY. Because of the increasing number of mutations, the hurdle for approval will become higher and higher in future.

EY has found out that 506 therapeutics are in the pipeline for drugs against Covid-19. However, no means of this have yet managed to obtain approval. “Despite all the vaccination euphoria, one should not lose sight of this fact”, warns EY expert Nuyken. People are still dying of Covid-19 due to a lack of medication. After all, the number of drug candidates has doubled since the end of 2020. And: 162 therapeutics are in the clinical phase III study. The most promising means is considered the cortisone drug dexamethasone . According to a large-scale study by Oxford University, it lowers the death rate of seriously ill Covid patients by at least 25 percent. In the initial phase of the corona disease, Remdesivir, which was the first Covid drug approved in Europe, also works – albeit only under certain conditions.

Price drop for corona tests

The EY experts see the market for corona tests as completely oversaturated. There are currently 1,021 diagnostic tests on the market, more than half of which are so-called immunassays (including rapid antigen tests). “We see a drop in prices here”says EY expert Nuyken. Individual drugstore and supermarket chains are now offering self-tests for 80 cents.

Thanks to Corona, the vaccine business has experienced a renaissance, emphasize the EY experts. The biotech sector in particular benefits. Due to new trends such as digitization as well as gene and cell therapies, it is on the threshold of further growth. According to EY, the German biotechs received more capital in 2020 than ever before.

Cancer medicine is the major growth driver

The main market for “Big Pharma” but oncology remains. In the fight against cancer, the industry has a turnover of over 200 billion euros, which is more than a third of the entire pharmaceutical business. In 2020, the world’s 21 largest pharmaceutical companies increased their sales in oncology by 14.6 percent. Experts are also predicting growth rates of ten percent for the coming years. Only ophthalmology promises similarly strong growth. Because of the trend towards home office in the pandemic, myopia increased in many people, especially children.

Biotech companies could provide a new boost in the cancer market. Amgen recently made a breakthrough in cancer therapy with Lumakras. For the first time, an active ingredient was approved that is directed against mutations in the KRAS gene. The KRAS mutations are one of the most common causes of pancreatic, colon and lung cancers. The mRNA technology that BioNTech and Moderna are successfully using in the fight against Corona also promises huge potential for cancer research.

Hope in the fight against Alzheimer’s

Biotech could also bring progress in the fight against Alzheimer’s. In early June, Biogen received “green light” for the active ingredient aducanumab . It is the first Alzheimer’s drug to receive FDA approval since 2003.

According to the study by EY, the Swiss Roche Group has maintained its top position in the ranking of the world’s largest pharmaceutical companies with 43.4 billion euros. AbbVie climbed to second place – just ahead of Johnson & Johnson and Merck & Co. Pfizer slipped to sixth place in the rankings. Due to the corona surge, the US pharmaceutical giant should regain the top spot in 2021

WHO has issued a warning and classified 3 types of meat including grilled meat, processed meat, and moldy red meat on the list of types of meat that are likely to cause cancer for users. So if you want to be healthy, it’s best to keep your mouth shut. The first is barbecue: Grilled meat is one of the favorite dishes of many people. It is attractive not only in its sweet, attractive aroma but also because the taste is really delicious, sweet, hard to refuse. However, grilled meat is indeed one of those delicious but toxic dishes. During the roasting process, the fat flows down to create charcoal smoke, which clings to the meat surface. Furthermore, the proteins, sugars and muscle particles of the meat react with extreme heat to form benzopyrene, a type 1 carcinogen. Most notably, the burnt, burnt part of the meat contains heterocyclic amines with the highest carcinogenic potential. WHO also warns that grilled and fried meats have the potential to cause bowel cancer, stomach cancer, esophageal cancer, pancreatic cancer, and prostate cancer. The second is processed meat: Including meats such as canned meat, bacon, beef jerky, sausage… In fact, everyone knows that there are many types of additives that can be processed and adjusted. taste and prolong shelf life. However, it is not uncommon for additives that can produce harmful chemicals during processing or cooking. These chemicals can cause cancer. The WHO even classifies processed meat as a food group with a high cancer risk similar to tobacco and industrial smoke. Moldy meat, bacon, and salted meat for too long: Because of being stored for too long in a hot and humid environment, these meats are prone to mold growth. The moldy meat contains aflatoxin – the leading substance in the list of liver carcinogens. There are many people who like to eat meat to mold, according to them, the more moldy, the better, but do not know this meat contains countless dangers. WHO also emphasizes that aflatoxin is a strong carcinogen and can affect all organs in the body, especially the liver and kidneys. Consuming foods containing aflatoxin concentrations of 1mg/kg or more is more likely to cause acute poisoning. Not only that, the risk of liver cancer, aflatoxin is also linked to other types of cancer that are extremely difficult to treat.

1. Green tomatoes Ripe red tomatoes are delicious, but that doesn’t mean it’s unripe, you can still cook it temporarily. Because tomatoes when green contain large amounts of alkaloid elements. This substance only decreases and disappears when the tomatoes are ripe and red. So if you eat green tomatoes, the amount of alkaloids still there will cause poisoning. If it’s light, you’ll see “baby lily”, dizziness but severe can be life-threatening, so it’s better to “eat it” 2. Old pumpkin, keep for a long time Like potatoes, pumpkin is also a family favorite food, especially families with small children. However, pumpkin contains high sugar content. Moreover, if stored for a long time, it is easy to cause anaerobic respiration – fermentation and metamorphosis inside the fruit, so eating is not good for health. 3. Gourd, bitter squash In the summer, if you have a delicious soup with gourd and cooked shrimp, it will not take long to run out of rice. However, there are some gourds and squash that taste bitter when ingested, which is an alkaloid toxin such as cucurbitacin and cucurbitin B. If you eat it, the body will show symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, vomiting and diarrhea. Other, more severe reactions can cause body spasms, even death. So to be safe, before processing, you should dip a small piece of gourd and squash on the tip of your tongue first to feel the taste. If you feel bitter, leave immediately and always, but don’t regret it. 4. Sprouted Potatoes This is also a familiar food, every family eats and loves it because it is easy to prepare and good for health. But eat whatever you want, you should stay away from sprouted potatoes, but don’t regret cutting them off and cooking them with all kinds of stir-fries. Because during the sprouting process, the inside of potatoes produces a lot of solanin. If you eat a lot of this substance into the body, it can cause food poisoning. Eating regularly if there is no immediate poisoning, but in the long run, it will accumulate, increasing the risk of cancer. So better, sprouted potatoes are only planted for “green” home. 5. Pickles are still green This sour dish ensures that everyone’s tray of rice is not lacking, and every family is fascinated by eating “not the right form”. Salt cooked yellow or salt, green, are very easy to eat. But in fact, eating too much pickle is not good, but eating it when it is green, has a pungent taste, it is not good. Because the green melon is easy to contain a lot of nitrosamines, a compound that can cause cancer. You should only eat melon when it has turned bright yellow, sour, crispy, fragrant and no matter how much you crave, you should still sip a little to protect your health.

The problem of pesticides and toxic chemicals in vegetables and fruits is also a concern of most families.

Studies show that more than 5,000 different chemicals are used in hair dye products, which often cause visible harmful effects such as frizz, brittleness, brittleness, or hair loss. Medical experts have also proven that substances in hair dyes such as paraphenylenediamine cause allergies, eczema, asthma, stomach ulcers, skin redness, sun sensitivity and can cause severe poisoning. Additives such as propyleneglycol and isopropyl alcohol are also harmful. Prophylenglycol affects the liver, kidneys, and brain, and isoprophyl alcohol can cause depression and headaches.

Ho Van Lang in October 2020 when he was still healthy. Photo: Nguyen Ngoc In 1972, panicking after a bomb dropped on his village, Ho Van Thanh (born in 1932) took his eldest son, Ho Van Lang, who was not yet 3 years old, and left the village in Tra Phong commune, Tra Bong district. , Quang Ngai province left in the deep forest to shelter, living separately from the community. For more than 40 years living separately in the deep forest, the two “forest people” only know how to be friends with birds, plants and wild animals. They live in a house like a bird’s nest on the trunk of a big old tree, use dried bark and leaves to cover themselves, and eat fruits, tapioca, corn, and wild vegetables to live. In 2013, local people discovered that the father and son “forest people” should report to the local government to organize a search and bring them back to integrate into the community. During the days when he returned to the village, Mr. Thanh crouched and hugged the nostalgia for the forest until his death. And Ho Van Lang is living with his younger brother’s family, Mr. Ho Van Tri, in a house built by benefactors. “Forest man” far from the forest After 8 years of leaving the deep forest to return to the old village, “forest man” Ho Van Lang gradually became familiar with everything. The 50-year-old man knew how to make a living, take care of himself, and cook for himself every day. Every day, when the sun had not yet risen, Lang carried a basket to the fields as a habit. In the afternoon, he returned home and did not forget to bring a bunch of bananas planted by himself in Tra Nga village, Tra Phong commune to sell to traders. Although, it takes more than 3 hours to walk to and from back. “Forest man” Ho Van Lang was brought back from the deep forest to the community in 2013. Photo: TL Whoever he met, he also smiled. Mr. Lang loves to chat, play with the children and see everyone in the village as a family. Unlike many men in the village, Mr. Lang does not drink alcohol or smoke but is “addicted” to betel nut. In October 2020, during a business trip in the mountains, we accidentally met “forest man” Ho Van Lang. At that time, Mr. Lang was still very healthy. The work of farming and growing agricultural products makes him happy every day. But after more than 7 months of returning, unfortunately, “forest people” no longer go to the forest, but just hang around in the kitchen corner. His eyes are still towards the mountain, but his legs are no longer strong enough to climb the pass, wade the stream. In the late afternoon, Mr. Ho Van Tri, Mr. Lang’s younger brother, sat by the fire, cooking medicine for his brother to drink. The light woven through the bamboo slats into the kitchen, making the green veins visible on the weak hands of the “forest man”. His hand still holds a bag of betel nut, his hobby is making his teeth black. However, the carefree smile of the “forest man” is now gone, replaced by a sigh when the pain strikes. Mr. Ho Van Tri said that, after the Lunar New Year, Mr. Lang felt pain in the abdomen. The pain increases with increasing frequency. All day, he hugged his stomach lying down, his body lost nearly 10 kg, his health was getting worse and worse. Feeling worried, Mr. Tri gathered all the little money he had accumulated to bring Mr. Lang to the city. Quang Ngai medical examination. Doctors diagnosed Mr. Lang with liver cancer. For Mr. Lang, liver cancer is simply pain in the abdomen. But for Mr. Tri, he knew it was a cruel disease, causing people to face death. However, in order to be more certain about Mr. Lang’s condition, Mr. Tri took his brother to Da Nang for a check-up. Here, the doctors have the same diagnosis as in Quang Ngai. Mr. Tri quietly took Mr. Lang home to take care of him. Since then, Mr. Lang only knows how to hang around the house, his eyes looking towards the mountain, no one knows what the “forest man” is thinking in the bottom of his heart. In the corner of the kitchen, “forest man” Ho Van Lang sighed softly when the pain hit. Mr. Lang knows pain, but he doesn’t know what cancer is? All worries now weigh on the shoulders of younger brother Ho Van Tri. Dear quartet Leaving the old forest, it seemed that life had turned to a new turning point, but fate still pushed the “forest man” into twists and turns like it used to push him into the path between the mountains and the forest and lived with his father for 40 years. continuously. In 2017, Mr. Ho Van Thanh, Lang’s father passed away, he received the pain with sad eyes. He tried so hard to forget, but now he is burdened with the terrible liver cancer that is tearing his body every day. Mr. Ho Van Lang still suffers from the pain of knitting agricultural tools to earn a living. Photo: Nguyen Ngoc Tra Nga village is very sunny this season. In the afternoon, the sun was dim again, the rain was about to pour. The weather in the mountainous region changes rapidly and is far from the plain. The same is true of Lang’s treatment. His brother’s cancer is being treated by Mr. Tri by “bowing to the four directions”. Not having enough money for Western medicine treatment, Mr. Tri once took Mr. Lang over 90 km to find a Oriental medicine doctor in Binh Son district. However, what drugs are enough to prevent disease? Even more pain came. “Forest man” hugs his stomach, crouching… Mr. Tri can only rely on his ancestors to go to the forest to find herbs, mainly apricots, to cook for his brother to relieve pain. “Since Lang got sick, I have offered nearly 10 times, 8 chickens each time. The cost is up to nearly 20 million VND. The house did not have money, I borrowed the shopkeepers in the neighborhood and then sold bananas, rattan trees … to reduce debt, “said Mr. Tri. Many times looking at his brother in pain, Tri felt heartbroken but didn’t know what to do. He also finds it difficult to understand because Mr. Lang has lived almost half of his life in the forest, why is he suffering from a serious disease at this time. “Fortunately, Mr. Lang is quite optimistic when he cannot understand the cancer he is suffering. Every time the pain eases, Mr. Lang sits and weaves baskets and nia with forest fibers and sells them to people in the village. Even though I told him to rest, Mr. Lang still didn’t stop working,” Mr. Tri said. Now, Mr. Tri just wants to have more money, feed his brother delicious meals, and enjoy life with the rest of the meager days. That idyllic wish seems difficult when looking in the corner of the kitchen, there is nothing but plants cooked for “forest people” to drink every day. Mr. Lang has cancer, Mr. Tri only knows how to cling to the forest to earn money to take care of him and his family members. But now, Mr. Tri is also suffering from a serious stomach disease. With many difficulties, he clings to the house of gratitude that many people contributed to build for Mr. Lang when he returned from the forest. Now, only miracles can help Lang recover from his illness. The “Forest Man” has stopped going to the forest, an uncertain future awaits him, although the village road is still much wider and straighter than the mountain trails that have been associated with Mr. Lang for more than half of his life. Mr. Dang Minh Thao, Secretary of Tra Bong District Party Committee, said that the District Party Committee had just coordinated with mass organizations to visit and give 3.7 million VND to support Mr. Ho Van Lang. Mr. Ho Van Lang’s family is extremely difficult, and his health is very weak. The District Party Committee is calling for organizations and individuals to support Mr. Lang’s family. In addition, he also directed local authorities to monitor health developments and provide maximum support for Mr. Lang.

Head skin While you’re very concerned about applying sunscreen, the scalp is a bit more of a problem unless you’re bald. Hair alone is not enough to protect the scalp, especially if you have light colored hair. Experts believe that skin cancer hides between the lines on your scalp. One way to protect oily skin from harmful UV rays is to wear a hat that covers your head to reduce your risk of developing skin cancer. You can also choose to spray sunscreen to allow the cream to penetrate your scalp. Palms and feet The tops of the hands and feet are more exposed to the sun, but that doesn’t mean the palms and soles are immune to skin cancer. While it’s a rare condition that mostly affects people of color, it doesn’t mean it’s impossible. So pay attention to any changes in the color of the skin around these areas. Fingernails and toenails Malignant tumors that form on fingernails and toenails can cause the skin in these areas to darken or change. They can also be a breeding ground for squamous cell carcinoma, which manifests as red, rough, or thickened nodules on the skin that may be hidden. In this situation, however, sun exposure is not the only factor, genetics and trauma also play a role in developing the skin cell disorder. Eyelid According to the British Journal of Ophthalmology, 10% of skin cancers are found in the eyelids. You may not have noticed, the eyelids are the most exposed area to the sun, but often overlooked when you apply sunscreen. So don’t forget to apply sunscreen to your eyelids. You can also wear sunglasses and a hat whenever you’re out in the sun. Genitals Believe it or not, sun exposure isn’t the only factor in skin cancer. Squamous cell carcinoma, which can affect the skin adjacent to the genitals, is thought to be associated with human papillomavirus infection. It usually goes undetected unless you regularly check for abnormalities. So the best way to reduce your risk of papillomavirus-related cancers is to practice safe sex and talk to your doctor about getting vaccinated.

Previously, on May 10, the first 6 patients received radiation therapy during the day here. After radiation therapy is indicated, the patient is taken to the radiotherapy area for simulation. The simulation area is equipped with 2 16-slice CT machines, which can perform 3D, 3D simulation techniques with contrast and RPM breathing synchronization system for high-tech 4D radiotherapy (radiotherapy). modulated according to the patient’s breathing rate). The first patient underwent CT simulation before radiation therapy at facility 2, Ho Chi Minh City Oncology Hospital. Photo: BVCC After simulation, the CT data is transferred to the radiotherapy planning room for optimal radiation therapy planning personalized for each patient. Once the radiotherapy plan is approved by the treating physician and engineer, the data is transferred to the radiation machine to prepare the patient for radiation therapy. According to the leader of Oncology Hospital, when the professional processes and equipment system operate stably, the hospital’s facility 2 rapidly increased to receive the number of patients to the radiation treatment area. With 6 accelerated radiotherapy systems, the serving capacity of the radiotherapy area at facility 2 can accommodate 240-400 radiotherapy sessions per day. This helps to completely solve the overload of radiation therapy at the main facility of Oncology Hospital (Binh Thanh District) for decades. According to the plan, from May 19, the main facility of Oncology Hospital will continue to bring outpatients of internal block to facility 2 for further treatment and chemotherapy during the day. With a design of 100 beds, the day chemotherapy facility 2 is capable of treating 300 patients per day, reducing the number of day chemotherapy sessions by 70-80% at the main facility. Also from this time, Oncology Hospital will start to schedule appointments for patients who are being monitored after finishing chemotherapy and radiotherapy at the main facility to switch to re-examination at facility 2. According to the threading route, patients from the provinces and Thu Duc city (accounting for about 80% of day treatment patients at the main facility) will be introduced and guided to facility 2 for treatment. Particularly, the main facility is for patients in the remaining districts of Ho Chi Minh City.

The patient first had a simulated CT scan before receiving head and neck radiation According to Associate Professor-Dr. Tang Chi Thuong, Deputy Director of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Health, right after the State Department of Construction Inspection (the Ministry of Construction) has issued a written approval to allow acceptance and commissioning of the basement. 1 and 2 basement of Oncology Hospital 2, Ho Chi Minh City Investment and Construction Project Management Unit of Ho Chi Minh City has handed over to the Oncology Hospital all the facilities in the basement. 1 and 2 basement, where will deploy the Radiation treatment area of ​​the hospital. The radiotherapy area of ​​the day covers an area of ​​more than 1,000 square meters, is equipped with 2 simulation CT systems, 6 accelerated radiotherapy systems, 2 brachytherapy systems and 9 outpatient clinics. This is an area that integrates simulation, treatment planning, external radiation therapy, brachytherapy and outpatient examination to form a closed day-to-day radiotherapy treatment at Primary Cancer Hospital 2. Accordingly, after the patient has prescribed radiation therapy from the treatment department, the patient is taken to the Radiotherapy Area to perform the simulation. The simulation area is equipped with 2 16-slice CT machines, which can perform 3D, 3D simulation techniques with contrast, comes with RPM breathing synchronous system for high-tech 4D radiotherapy ( modulated radiation therapy according to the patient’s breathing rate). After the simulation, the CT data are transferred to the Radiotherapy Planning Department to perform the positioning of radiotherapy volumes and healthy organs, calculate the irradiation field parameters, dose, shielding, … treatment. to get an optimized personalized radiation treatment plan for each patient. When the radiotherapy plan is approved by the treating doctor and the engineer, the data is transferred to the radiotherapy machine to prepare the patient for radiotherapy. The daily plans will be checked and measured directly on the machine to ensure the quality of treatment (the actual dose delivered on the machine must be the same as the dose set in the software). If all are satisfactory, the patient will be treated on a radiograph. At present, Baseline Oncology Hospital 2 has put into operation 6 image-guided radiotherapy machines (IGRT) that can perform advanced techniques in radiotherapy today: Electron, 3D, IMRT, VMAT. In addition, the radiotherapy machine can perform SRS / SBRT (Hyper Arch) radiotherapy, breathing radiotherapy, control surface movement. It is expected that, when the professional processes and the equipment systems are in stable operation, the 2nd Primary Oncology Hospital will rapidly increase the number of patients coming to the radiotherapy area. With 6 accelerated radiotherapy systems equipped, the service capacity of the radiotherapy area at facility 2 can meet 240-400 times of radiation therapy per day, capable of resolving the overload situation. radiation therapy for Primary 1 Oncology Hospital for decades. According to the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Health, on May 19, the Oncology Hospital will continue to bring outpatients of the internal block to the 2 primary Oncology Hospital to continue treatment and chemotherapy during the day. .

When the inpatient treatment area of ​​the 2nd Primary Oncology Hospital is officially handed over, all the inpatients of the 1st Primary Oncology Hospital will be transferred to the new facility.

Ecocide is a crime The lack of punishment for these subjects indicates a major defect in the international legal system. Ecocide is defined as “the destruction of ecosystems, humanity and life”. This includes direct damage to land, sea, flora and fauna in affected ecosystems, as well as impacts to the climate. The negative effects of Ecocide are noted on many levels because the damage is not just the environment – it can be cultural, psychological as well as emotional. Communities are also affected, especially when their lifestyles are deeply linked with compromised ecosystems. The term “ecocide” was first recognized in 1970 at the Conference on War and National Responsibility in Washington, DC and since then, many scholars and legal experts. has campaigned to criminalize it. Promoting the recognition of ecocide as a crime on an international level is the first step towards establishing a legal obligation – not just morality – to all life forms on Earth. Writer and activist George Monbiot commented: “It will change everything. It can make the difference between a habitable planet and an uninhabitable one.” Around the world, frontline communities are fighting to protect their land, air, water, forests and means of livelihood. Resources are threatened by activities such as mining and deforestation, all of which have serious social and environmental impacts. There is also an occupation of land that is destroying the entire area. Usually all of this happens while the world is looking in the other direction. Campaigners are calling for the act of destroying nature as an international criminal offense. Ecocide is an idea that environmental activists consider both very extreme but also plausible. This theory holds that no one can be neglected or punished after destroying the natural environment. Many advocates of the criminalization of environmental destruction that will help emphasize the environmental and human costs of such problems as climate change. Responsibilities of the ICC Activists believe that this type of crime should be included in the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court (ICC) – the agency currently prosecutes only four types of crimes, including genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes and aggression. Although the ICC can also prosecute environmental crimes, it has so far only been possible within the framework of the four crimes mentioned above – there is no legal restriction on losses occurring in time. jar. Although each country has its own laws and regulations to avoid loss, criminalization activists of environmental destruction believe that widespread environmental destruction will continue as long as the law is full. bridge is established. This is not going to be too light or deterrent because of international practice – like the Paris Agreement on climate change, where countries set their own goals to cut emissions. With the inclusion of a fifth offense – the crime of environmental destruction – in the Rome Convention, the perpetrator can be arrested, prosecuted and imprisoned. But it also helps to create cultural change in the way the world perceives actions that harm nature. “If something becomes a crime, we put it under the red line of morality. Now, you can still come,” said Jojo Mehta, co-founder of the Stop Ecocide campaign. government agencies and apply for a license to exploit shale oil using hydraulic technology to cut or mine, or drill for oil, while you cannot apply for a murder permit, because it is a crime. Once you put that standard into practice, you change the cultural mentality as well as the reality of law enforcement. Jojo Mehta argued that having an anti-environmental law would hold those who cause serious environmental harm to the environment. Activists believe that environmental destruction should only be considered for the most damaging activities on a large scale – such as causing oil spills, seabed extraction, animal ranching. industrial tissue and oil sand extraction. In 2010, female lawyer Polly Higgins defined environmental destruction as “causing serious harm … to the point that the peace of the creatures in the area has been or will be severely destroyed”. In 2019, Higgins died at the age of 50 after being diagnosed with cancer. It was the shock to the anti-environmentalism movement – she was a legal leader and avid campaigner, sold her house and quit her high-paying job and devoted her life to the campaign. this. Mehta’s advocacy group – Stop Ecocide – is in the process of bringing together a panel of international lawyers to write a “clear and legally strong” definition for crimes of destroying the environment to Countries can apply to the ICC. Once an official definition is in place, the next step is to have a country support it in The Hague court. For campaigners like Mehta, the criminalization of environmental destruction is a way to end the destruction of Earth’s ecosystems and destroy the organisms that live there.

Xiao Chen’s uncle was a betel nut lover, but died of pharyngeal cancer a few years ago because of a long-term addiction to betel nut consumption. Before his death, Uncle Xiao Chen repeatedly said to his relatives: “You must not eat betel nuts, otherwise the ending will be the same as me.”

As we all know, there are many people in the south who love to eat betel nuts. However, because long-term consumption of betel nuts will increase the risk of cancer, many areas in the south have adopted certain control measures on the sales of betel nuts. However, it seems that the effect of restricting the sales of betel nuts is currently It’s not obvious, and the Blue Whale Financial reporter noticed that betel nut has become a good business in the northern market, and some consumers eat two or three packs a day.

Recently, by visiting the market, Blue Whale Finance reporters discovered that many betel nut companies have already spotted the northern market and spared no effort to lure betel nuts to dealers with high profits. Betel nut has also become one of the most popular categories in Chengdu Sugar and Wine Fair this month. Every betel nut company’s booth was surrounded by people.

It is worth noting that the seemingly unpopular food, with the expansion of the consumer group, has been eaten by many betel nut companies with a scale of tens of billions by betel nut lovers. According to distributors, Hunan Huangye Foods’ annual sales volume has exceeded RMB 10 billion after acquiring the time-honored brand Zhang Xinfa. The scale of the top brand taste king exceeds 20 billion yuan. In terms of the overall industry, some insiders claim that the size of the betel nut industry exceeds 100 billion yuan.

Behind such a large scale, betel nut has gradually spread from the original southern markets such as Hunan and Guangdong to northern provinces and cities such as Henan, Shaanxi, Hebei, and Beijing.

From the perspective of industry insiders, due to population mobility and the sparing efforts of merchants to promote and channel penetration, betel nut products are accelerating their penetration into the northern market, and the market scale continues to expand. The deeper reason behind it is the high profits brought about by the high price of betel nut, which has caused dealers to flock to it. At the same time, the addictive nature of betel nut products has brought a stable consumer base, which in turn allows businesses to have a stable source of income.

However, as a food that is listed as a carcinogen by the World Health Organization along with tobacco, the carcinogenic risk of betel nut has been recognized and issued warnings by more and more authoritative experts or institutions, but it has accelerated development in China. With the trend, more and more people become betel nut enthusiasts, but there is very little control over betel nut products in China. In this case, it is obviously not enough to rely on the reminders of some experts, scholars or organizations. It is urgent for relevant government agencies to intervene to formulate national mandatory standards and laws and regulations to regulate the development of this special industry of 100 billion yuan.

Some people eat two packs a day, and the betel nut business spreads across the country

“At first I ate betel nut for two days, and then one packet a day. Now I eat two or three bags a day. It is very refreshing and feels good. It didn’t take long for me to become addicted. I first ate betel nut for 1.5 yuan each. Later, when the fat brother counted a pack of betel nuts in the factory, he now eats betel nuts worth more than 300 yuan per catty from Zhang Xinfa. The more expensive he eats, the more he eats,” said a betel nut lover.

Originally, betel nut was only popular in my country’s Hunan, Hainan, Fujian, Taiwan and other regions. However, the Blue Whale financial reporter found that in northern regions such as Beijing, Hebei, and Henan, betel nut has become a standard for many retail stores.

In a small store in Chaoyang District, Beijing, there are a variety of mainstream betel nut brands, including Xiangtanpu wolfberry betel nut, Binzhilang probiotic betel nut, Weiwang and Chengtianxia products. The owner told the Blue Whale Financial reporter that there are many consumers who buy betel nuts, and they cannot tell whether they are southerners or northerners. “Many stores in Beijing are selling betel nuts, and they are selling well. It turns out that there are very few products at 5 yuan, 10 yuan and 15 yuan per pack, and they are not enough to eat. Customers all buy 20 yuan and 30 yuan per pack. Some consumers A person can eat two packs of 50 yuan a pack a day, one pack in the morning and one pack in the afternoon.”

In addition to individual shops selling betel nuts, large commercial enterprises are also selling betel nuts. According to many points of Wumart’s shopping platform, many convenience stores of Wumart also sell betel nuts of brands such as Zhang Xinfa.

Not only in Beijing, but also in Zhengzhou, Henan, almost every retail store sells betel nuts, and they are all prominently placed near the checkout counter. In Hebei, some consumers also told Blue Whale Finance reporters that many consumers in their twenties eat betel nuts. This consumer likes to chew on a betel nut with cracked beads after drinking. “It’s very exciting after eating.”

At present, the top companies in the betel nut field, Taste King, Huangye Food’s Zhang Xinfa, and Yellow Crane Tower have all set up distributors in Henan and Hebei, and have opened up investment invitations at some food exhibitions.

At the just-concluded Chengdu Sugar and Wine Fair, the booths of betel nut enterprises also attracted much attention, and there was an endless stream of people negotiating business. A reporter from Blue Whale Finance noticed that the ground of Zhangxin Development Station, a time-honored Hunan company, was covered by packaging of betel nuts. Most of the visitors who came to visit would grab a handful of samples and put them in their bags, and at the same time, open a package and put them in their mouths to try new Taste.

As dealers tried to eat and took samples away, a large blank area even appeared in part of the booth of another company’s Yellow Crane Tower.

Marketing expert Lu Shengzhen observed: “Most people who like to chew betel nuts are truck drivers. The main purpose is to refresh themselves and prevent sleepiness when driving. People who eat betel nuts are mostly overtime workers or groups who seek excitement. These people love betel nuts. The negative effects of stimulus are not well understood or valued. Most stimulus seekers are people in the reverse phase.”

The giant’s annual sales volume is 20 to 30 billion yuan, and the market scale exceeds 100 billion yuan

In fact, many leading companies have already deployed nationwide, and with the expansion of coverage, corporate income and industrial scale have also continued to expand.

Weihua Gong, Marketing Director of Taste King Group, once stated that in 2018, the Hecheng Tianxia betel nut under Taste King continued to sell well in Hunan, Guangdong, Hubei and other provinces, with cumulative sales exceeding 400 million packs. The products cover 415 cities in many provinces including Hunan, Hubei, and Guangdong, as well as Jiangxi, Hainan, Guizhou, etc. The coverage area has doubled from 2017. At the beginning of 2018, Zhang Xinfa also issued the “Zhang Xinfa National Brand Strategy”: Starting from 2018, it will fully enter the national market, and after three years, its stores and products will fully cover the country.

With the increase in the scope of sales, the scale of the betel nut industry is also expanding. Xiangtan City, Hunan Province once proposed to “build a famous cultural city of betel nut in China, expand and strengthen the betel nut industry, and ensure that the sales revenue of the betel nut industry will reach 30 billion yuan in three years and the goal of 50 billion yuan in five years.”

According to Zhu Danpeng, an analyst in the Chinese food industry, with the spread of betel nut sales from Hunan, Hainan, and Guangdong to Henan, Hebei, Shaanxi and other places in the north, the scale of the betel nut industry in China should have exceeded 1,000. 100 million yuan, and it is constantly expanding. The sales scale of the company has repeatedly set new highs, and the annual sales scale of Taste King has exceeded 20 billion yuan. A distributor of Zhang Xinfa also told Blue Whale Finance reporter that Zhang Xinfa’s annual sales volume exceeds 10 billion yuan.

The scale of enterprises tens of billions and the scale of markets of hundreds of billions are already extremely high goals for many food companies. The sales of the three squirrels, the snack food giant, only exceeded 10 billion yuan in 2019, and in 2020 it will fall back to below 10 billion yuan. The scale of China Resources C’estbon, which has a national layout and is supported by central enterprises, is only over 10 billion yuan. Dali Foods has dozens of factories throughout the country, and its annual revenue is only more than 20 billion yuan.

Companies such as Taste King and Zhang Xinfa rely on betel nuts to achieve a scale of more than 10 billion yuan, which is really surprising.

It is worth noting that the data shows that the sales volume of betel nut is still growing at an average annual rate of more than 20%, and the future scale will be very large.

People flow from north to south, product prices are high and profitable, and the industry develops too fast

The rapid development of the betel nut industry is mainly due to the flow of personnel, the high unit price of betel nut and the high profitability, the large investment of enterprises, and its addictive characteristics.

“The rapid development of the betel nut industry in recent years is mainly due to population migration. First, the population of Guangdong, Hunan and other provinces has flowed to the whole country. On the other hand, many people in the north are working in the south and they have accepted the eating habits of the south. Surrounding consumers. Henan people have many workers in many southern provinces, and for a long time, they also chewed betel nuts under the influence of locals. Therefore, Henan has become the first bridgehead for betel nuts to go north.” Zhu Danpeng told reporters.

Another reason is that the high unit price of betel nut products has a large profit margin, which attracts a large number of enterprises and distributors to enter, and promotes the continuous expansion of the market. A consumer in Hunan told a reporter from Blue Whale Finance that in the past few years, the price band of betel nut products was around 5 yuan, but now it has reached more than 20.

It is understood that betel nut has a variety of categories such as medium seeds, upper seeds, grain seeds, research brains, and supreme research brains. At present, the unit price of low-end products is about 15 yuan per package, and high-end products have reached 100 yuan. In October 2020, Taste King launched Hecheng Tianxia high-end betel nut with a single package price of 100 yuan. Prior to this, Taste King also released a single package of 30 yuan and 50 yuan products.

The high price also leaves plenty of room for dealers.

A price list of the Yellow Crane Tower investment policy obtained by a reporter from Blue Whale Finance shows that if a dealer makes a payment of 39,800 yuan, he can purchase a product with a retail price of 10 yuan at a price of 5.3 yuan, which means that the dealer 47% of the profit margin is operating; you can purchase it at a price of 4.3 yuan with a payment of 99,800 yuan, and the profit margin is greater. And the higher the price of a single package, the greater the profit margin. The official franchise information of another brand, Zhang Xinfa, shows that a total investment of about 220,000 yuan in an 80-square-meter specialty store in a fourth-tier city can make a profit of 261,600 yuan in one year.

Regarding this policy, a food distributor told a reporter from Blue Whale Finance: “As long as you dare to do it, the effort is strong enough and you will definitely make money.”

The confidence of the dealer’s words stems from the addictive nature of betel nuts. According to industry insiders, betel nut is a fast-moving product in the fast-moving field. The annual sales of dealers are generally between 50 million and 100 million yuan. The prospect is very broad, and it is developing rapidly, with high profits and large return on investment.

Because of this, the layout of betel nut is getting faster and faster. Some consumers on the Internet said that when they were going to school in Changsha in 2006, they could only buy one or two brands of betel nuts. In 2010, the surrounding betel nuts of the graduate school were already dazzling. When I went to Shanghai on business in 2013, I went to Nanjing on business in 2015, and when I went to Beijing on business in 2017, betel nuts can be bought in big cities.

Lu Shengzhen told the Blue Whale Financial reporter that the manufacturer only talks about the benefits of betel nut, and avoids the harm to it. It is difficult for consumers to know exactly how harmful are areca nuts.

National standards are missing, and industry development urgently needs to be regulated

What is not commensurate with the 100 billion betel nut market is the construction of product standards. At present, the enterprises of Taste King and Zhang Xinfa adopt the local standard of Hunan: DB43/132-2004. Although the standard clearly stipulates specific physical and chemical indicators and other items, it is difficult for local standards to be implemented nationwide.

Due to the lack of standards, there have been fights in various places, and enterprises have suffered. In 2018, in the field of spicy tiao food, there were situations in Henan and Hubei due to the inconsistent local standards for spicy tiao, and Weilong was the most affected.

A person in the food legal profession told the Blue Whale Financial reporter that betel nut is addictive. According to relevant documents, betel nut is also a first-class carcinogen. With the rapid development of betel nut throughout the country, relevant standards and even relevant standards need to be formulated. The laws governing its development.

Many friends around the reporter reported that some relatives and friends regretted the cancer caused by long-term consumption of betel nut.

Nutrition expert Lu Shaofeng believes that betel nut needs a comprehensive understanding. First of all, betel nut is a kind of medicinal material that can refresh the mind. At the same time, betel nut is also a kind of spice, but the usual amount is very small. However, if chewed as a snack for a long time, it is harmful to the body and can lead to addiction. Addiction is mainly due to the alkaloids contained in it, which causes people’s dependence. In addition, chewing betel nut for a long time will also lead to mental dependence. “It feels comfortable to chew in the mouth, and it becomes a habit.”

As far as carcinogenesis is concerned, as early as 2003, the International Center for Cancer Research (IARC), a subsidiary of the World Health Organization (WHO), recognized betel nut as a first-degree carcinogen, that is, a substance that is determined to be carcinogenic to the human body. In the list of carcinogens published by the State Food and Drug Administration in 2017, there are three carcinogens related to betel nut, namely betel nut, tobacco-containing betel nut chew and tobacco-free betel nut chew. Xiangya Hospital of Central South University also conducted a survey in Xiangtan, and found that 66% of betel nut chewers had oral mucosal lesions, while the figure for those who did not chew betel nut was only 1.5%.

In fact, some places have already issued relevant regulations to restrict the development of the betel nut industry. In 1996, Xiamen issued a ban: Those who produce and sell betel nuts in Xiamen shall be ordered by the municipal administrative departments for industry and commerce to stop illegal activities and be fined between 1,000 yuan and 10,000 yuan. Anyone who eats betel nut in violation of the regulations shall be fined from 100 yuan to 1,000 yuan by the municipal administrative departments of health at all levels.

At that time, Xiamen became the only city that banned the production, sale and consumption of betel nuts. However, currently on the Meituan APP, there will be a link to sell the flavor king betel nut in Xiamen.

In 2019, the Hunan Betel Nut Food Industry Association also stopped all betel nut production enterprises in Hunan from all domestic advertising. In 2021, the advertising placement of Xiangtan Shop still appeared in the “Tucao Conference” program.

Some people in the legal profession even believe that betel nut sales should be stopped directly due to the addictive and carcinogenic potential. Lu Shengzhen believes that there is a market for betel nut as long as it cannot be restrained or there are no obvious restrictions. It has a long history of eating, and it has become a folk custom in the South. However, if there are definite side effects, they should be restricted through food supervision as soon as possible to reduce their harmfulness.

Zhu Danpeng believes that from the current point of view, reducing the harmfulness of betel nuts may lead to a change in its taste and loss of the market. Businesses do not have much motivation to do this. However, consumers are still advised to try their best to buy large-brand, high-quality products, which are relatively less harmful.

Scientists’ discoveries at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History (NMNH) and University of Florida (UF) have shown that marine biodiversity studies can enhance biomedical research. The naming of the compound Gatorbulin-1 (GB1) found in blue algae is a tribute to UF researchers and global partners who lit the torch for the discovery and traits of algae. lam. From self-defense to drugs Cyanobacteria are single-celled terrestrial and aquatic organisms around the world. They can use chemicals to defend themselves against predators. These chemicals also play a role in helping the cyanobacteria communicate. “ We studied a series of compounds called Quorum’s emotional inhibitors that affect the chemical signals that cyanobacteria have, ” said Dr. Valerie Paul, a chemical ecologist at Smithsonian Marine Station. used to communicate. The Quorum emotion is a name for the way bacteria communicate using chemical signals. The scientists examined the cyanobacteria’s communication and defense compounds to test for biomedical properties. Often they realize the compound’s medical potential before understanding why cyanobacteria take it. In a new study, GB1 was shown to have significant anticancer activity with the potential for a new drug formulation. But scientists are not quite sure how cyanobacteria use it. TS. Nature has optimized these compounds, which are created for a certain purpose, in the case of blue-green algae, said Paul, as self-defense. Chemical structure of Gatorbulin-1 (GB1) molecule. From the sea to the lab The blue-green algae targeted, Lyngbya confervoides, was discovered more than a decade before Dr. Paul started collecting this species. She quickly realized that the algae produced many different compounds, so she sent the samples to her collaborator Professor Hendrik Luesch for further study. But finding a new compound like GB1 that has the potential to make a new drug is a long process (not including the time it takes to add and test it to convert the compound into a safe, functional drug). The first stage of the procedure is to isolate and demonstrate that the purified compound can selectively kill cancer cells. Spurred by this discovery, Prof. Hendrik’s team was trying to find a way to synthesize the substance in the laboratory. A reliable way to produce GB1 is the first important thing to do in-depth research. “We like to stay in place to collect more cyanobacteria to isolate enough materials for advanced research,” Dr. Hendrik said. As organic chemists, we are able to replicate these natural molecules in larger quantities in the laboratory without having to depend on cyanobacteria. GB1 has been added to additional stages for the synthesis process. Scientists have discovered that GB1 targets a protein in cells called Tubulin – the same protein cells require during cell division and uses it to build ” internal scaffolding ”. While there are many chemotherapy drugs that target Tubulin, Prof. Hendrik and colleagues assert that GB1 is more special because it interacts with Tubulin in new ways. Now researchers are eager to see GB1 as effective in the real world as well as its potential to make anti-cancer drugs. The cyanobacteria that produced Gatorbulin-1 (GBI) was recognized as the algae Lyngbya confervoides. Healing ability of biochemistry Organic chemists often turn to nature to study drug formulation. For example, compounds in terrestrial life mechanisms such as plants and fungi led to the creation of important drugs such as penicillin that is now a staple of modern medicine. In the ocean, about three-quarters of the earth’s surface has yet to be touched by humans. “It’s really a chemical war in the ocean,” said Professor Hendrik. The more battles and communications like that will help us humans understand more about the active compounds that can apply to mankind. ” And Dr. Paul said: “From a chemical ecologist’s point of view, this biodiversity is equivalent to chemical diversity. We can find everything in the ocean we never dreamed of. ” Nguyen Thanh Hai ( (According to smithsonianmag) )

People in middle age are most afraid of losing the two “fronts”. One is the hairline and the other is the prostate. But what you are afraid of comes from, but these two lines are the easiest to go wrong.

Especially the prostate, as The “Ouchi” of the man’s lower body, for Urinary and reproduction Those things have a direct right to speak. Obviously shouldering heavy responsibilities, but they “strike” when they disagree.

• prostatitis

One of the common diseases in adult men is a benign inflammation.

About 50% of men will suffer from prostatitis at some point in their lives. In young and middle-aged men, hormones are overflowing, and the prostate is prone to repeated stimulation and inflammation.

Main symptoms: frequent urination, urgency, pain or discomfort in the perineum.

• Benign prostatic hyperplasia

Commonly known as prostate hypertrophy, it is a benign proliferation of prostate tissue cells.

Men will have prostate hyperplasia when they are getting older. It is only a matter of time. After prostatic hyperplasia, the urinary tract becomes narrow, and the most direct impact is the narrowing of urine flow, the bifurcation of urine, and the inability to urinate.

• Prostate cancer

Prostate cancer is the malignant proliferation of prostate tissue cells, which mostly occur in the peripheral zone of the prostate. Unlike other cancers, prostate cancer develops relatively slowly and is one of the “most friendly” tumors for men.

In recent years, with the changes in people’s living habits, the incidence of prostate cancer has increased significantly. There is no scientific evidence to prove that there is a direct correlation between prostatitis, benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostate cancer.

1. Does prostate cancer affect sexual function?

It must have an impact! Some patients will have erectile dysfunction, blood sperm and other problems from the beginning of prostate cancer. Some patients lose their sexual function because of complications after radical surgery.

Because during the operation, In order to remove the disease as much as possible, usually damage the neurovascular bundles around the prostate , Leading to erectile dysfunction remaining in most patients after surgery.

However, in recent years, with the development of minimally invasive techniques, surgery to preserve the “neurovascular bundle” has become more and more mature. With this type of surgery, more than 70% of patients can restore normal sexual function within one year after surgery.

2. Does prostate cancer have to be cured?

It must be cured, and as soon as possible! For patients with early prostate cancer, surgery or radiotherapy is expected to achieve the goal of radical cure. The 10-year survival rate can reach 90%. After active and standardized treatment, the 5-year survival rate of advanced patients can reach 60%. If left untreated, the vast majority will die of prostate cancer within 10 years. Therefore, early detection, early diagnosis, and early treatment are necessary!

3. How to find prostate cancer early?

Timely and regular screening is an effective method for early detection of prostate cancer.

Early screening items include: Serum PSA test (a blood sample); digital rectal examination.

These types of people should be screened in time:

• All men aged> 50 years;
• Age> 45 years old and a family history of prostate cancer;
• Age> 40 years old and basic PSA> 1ng/ml;

Early prostate cancer does not have any specific symptoms, mainly manifested as urination problems such as frequent urination and urgency.and so It is recommended that middle-aged and elderly men with urinary discomfort should go to the urology department of the hospital for prostate cancer screening.

• How to stay away from prostate cancer?

At present, the cause of prostate cancer is not clear. However, according to the results of epidemiological investigations, its incidence is mostly related to the family history of cancer. Male immediate relatives have prostate cancer, or female immediate relatives have breast cancer , The risk of owning prostate cancer is significantly higher than that of ordinary people.Another factor is lifestyle habits, such as Long-term smoking, greasy diet (high animal fat, fried food), excessive calcium supplementation Wait.

So if you want to stay away from prostate cancer, you must first Quit smoking quickly!The diet should also be lighter , Eat more tomatoes, broccoli, beans, fish, etc. In addition, don’t sit still all day, just take two steps, Exercise more, exercise more , Control your weight.

Prof, Dr. Dao Van Long shared scientific information about digestive diseases. Facing the fact that the rate of missing lesions in gastrointestinal endoscopy is still high, one of the reasons is due to the patient’s colon cleansing process is not up to the standard, the Digestive Research and Training Institute, the liver. honey has researched and released the application “colon cleansing” on Android and iOS platforms. These are the information shared by Professor, Dr. Dao Van Long – former Director of Hanoi Medical University Hospital, former head of the gastroenterology department of Bach Mai Hospital, the Founding Council of the Digestive and Hepatology Research and Training Institute. at the launching ceremony of facility 2 of Hoang Long General Clinic on April 21st morning. According to Professor Dao Van Long, this is the first phone application in Vietnam to go deeply into the field of endoscopy to support patient guidance. Accordingly, when going to a colonoscopy and examination, the patient will download this application and directly manipulate the phone to monitor the entire colon cleaning process in the most detailed way. According to statistics, gastrointestinal and hepatobiliary diseases currently account for about 30% of the total number of patients visiting medical facilities, but the ability to respond is limited, and the number of endoscopists can only respond. corresponding to 5% – 10% of the population. Every day in large centers, there are more than 300 cases of endoscopy that can lead to missed lesions and endoscopic quality is not really guaranteed, there is a risk of infection from endoscopy. Therefore, the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in health in general and gastrointestinal endoscopy in particular is not only suitable for the current trend, but also a necessary direction for the medical industry by Great benefits such as contributing to improving the detection rate, avoiding missing injuries as well as saving human resources for health are currently in short supply. Currently, the Digestive and Hepatobiliary Research and Training Institute has initially developed software to apply artificial intelligence in endoscopy to detect colon polyps in Vietnam. When put into operation, the application will contribute to meeting the needs of screening and screening for polyps and colon cancer in our country, while enhancing Vietnam’s medical technology with new and progressive steps. more, comparable to regional and international. In particular, with the introduction of the new Fuji 7000 endoscopy system featuring advanced image magnification up to 290 times, LCI / BLI multi-beam technology combines short-wavelength light and white light for images. The high contrast of microchips and microstructure of the mucosal surface helps detect cancer in an early stage, even very early, but if endoscopy with white light will easily miss the lesion. Dr. Dao Viet Hang shares scientific information on AI application in colonoscopy. Dr. Dao Viet Hang, Deputy Director of Hanoi Medical University Hospital Endoscopy Center, Deputy General Secretary of the Vietnam Society of Gastrointestinal Science, said software applying artificial intelligence in endoscopy to detect polyps colon in Vietnam will build an effective machine learning algorithm for detecting and localizing polyps through endoscopic images; initially assessing the accuracy of colon polyps detection and localization algorithm. “We expect that in the next 1-2 years, Vietnam will launch a system applying artificial intelligence algorithms so that doctors in remote and deep areas can learn about lesion classification and detection of lesions. This system is attached to different endoscopy systems at the grassroots level, reducing the injury detection rate “, Dr. Hang shared.

According to the Global Cancer Registry System GLOBOCAN 2020, in Vietnam by 2020 there are more than 350,000 patients living with cancer, more than 182,000 new cases and 122,000 deaths. According to a study conducted by the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) in June 2020, the death rate per cancer case in Vietnam is more than 70%, at the highest level in Asia. Most people with cancer in Vietnam come for examination and treatment in a late stage, making treatment difficult and creating a huge financial burden on patients, the health system and the whole society. This situation makes it more and more urgent to accelerate the work of diagnosis and improve the quality of cancer treatment. Cooperation between Hanoi Oncology Hospital and Roche Vietnam to improve the quality of cancer treatment Therefore, the cooperation between Hanoi Oncology Hospital and Roche Vietnam is expected to bring about a positive impact to improve professional capacity in cancer treatment and meet the increasingly urgent need for solutions. advanced and effective method for patients, implementing the principle of putting the patient first. Specifically, the two sides will promote cooperation in enhancing the capacity and experience of health workers in treating and caring for cancer patients; connect, integrate and participate in cooperation activities with domestic and international agencies and organizations in the field of oncology; as well as establishing and implementing activities targeting patients and communities … In addition, the two sides also cooperate to implement the project to increase access to advanced therapies for high-risk breast cancer patients in the period 2020 – 2025 (according to the scheme signed between the Ministry of Health. and Vietnam Medical Association in 2020). “In recent years, Hanoi Oncology Hospital and Roche Vietnam have had an active and effective cooperative relationship. Today’s important event will definitely help to promote more positively the relationship between the two sides, in order to bring the most practical benefits to the patient and the community “, TS.BS. Said Bui Vinh Quang, director of Hanoi Oncology Hospital. Meanwhile, Mr. Girish Mulye, General Director of Roche Pharma Vietnam, emphasized that the combination of Roche global strengths and advanced solutions with the expertise and dedication of the Hanoi Oncology Hospital team, It is expected to create positive changes to help change medical capacity throughout the journey from cancer diagnosis and treatment, towards the common goal of minimizing mortality and reducing the burden caused by this group of diseases. . The Memorandum of Understanding between Hanoi Oncology Hospital and Roche Vietnam is expected to be implemented in 3 years, with the first activity taking place from April 2021.

In 2007, Mr. Kang was diagnosed with liver cancer and had to remove one third of his liver. After a successful surgery, he tried to finish the unfinished scenes of the movie he was participating in and moved with his family to live in the countryside. With all his energy to live, having been quietly fighting cancer for more than 10 years, the health of the actor Descendants of the Sun has been increasingly improved. He regularly exercises, eating according to a diet to maintain his fitness. For liver cancer, there are many factors that can lead to them from drinking alcohol, obesity, smoking to the body’s existence of many other underlying diseases. The liver is the largest organ in the body and is located on the right side of the abdomen. It is responsible for performing important functions such as helping your body to flush toxins out. Furthermore, it also allows the body to digest fats, vitamins and other important nutrients. However, once the liver has a problem, it will be very difficult to do its job well. Liver cancer is when liver cells that are old and damaged tend to overgrow and continue to multiply instead of dying. Liver cancer can be primary or secondary. Primary cancer originates in the liver while secondary liver cancer can be caused by cancer cells from other organs such as the chest or lungs moving to the liver. Furthermore, it can also lead to other conditions such as high cholesterol levels, enlarged liver, bleeding and visceral bruising. Symptoms of liver cancer are usually abdominal pain, jaundice, nausea, fatigue, itching, back pain, fever, and unintentional weight loss. Who can get liver cancer? People with diabetes and hepatitis, people with a family history of liver cancer, drinking a lot of alcohol leading to cirrhosis, people with low immunity with HIV or AIDS, and obesity may also get it. this disease. In particular, smokers are at higher risk of liver cancer. Treatment for liver cancer Treatment for liver cancer will depend on the stage of the disease and the location of the tumor. The common treatment is chemotherapy, where the drug is administered orally or intravenously to kill cancer cells. Radiation therapy can then be used with high-energy radiation to kill cancer cells. Another option for treating the disease is surgery. If the tumor is a small malignant tumor, the doctor removes the cancer cells and some of the healthy liver tissue surrounding it. A liver transplant is done when the liver is completely damaged. Resection therapy may be used. The doctor then selects heat, lasers, or injections to kill the cancer cells. The treatment can even be done by embolism, which stops blood supply to cancer cells and allows them to die on their own.

On the morning of April 15, the 27th National Cancer Prevention and Treatment Publicity Week (hereinafter referred to as Publicity Week) was officially launched in Beijing. Sohu Health learned that the theme of this year’s publicity week is “Healthy Chinese Health Home-Caring for Life, Scientifically Preventing Cancer”, and the importance of the family in preventing cancer and fighting cancer has been emphasized unprecedentedly.

“Family is an important environment and factor for cancer risk generation and development.” He Jie, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, director of the National Cancer Center, and president of the Cancer Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, pointed out that research shows that family support is a prerequisite for effective cancer prevention and management. About two-thirds of cancer risk factors are closely related to family life. Family members have the same genetic background and develop common diet and behavior patterns in a long-term common life.

What are the risk factors for cancer in family life? According to Zhao Dongbing, chief physician of the Department of Pancreatic and Stomach Surgery, Cancer Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, long-term unhealthy diet, smoking and alcoholism, lack of exercise, and discordant family atmosphere may all become predisposing factors for cancer.

The “Guidelines for Family Cancer Prevention” issued at the launching ceremony pointed out that by changing bad lifestyles, about 45% of cancers in my country can be effectively prevented.

“Pay close attention to the danger signs sent by the body.” Zhao Dongbing pointed out that the so-called danger signs are symptoms that are different from the previous ones. Family members should remind each other and seek medical attention in time.

Ms. Sun Guilan, an anti-cancer star who has struggled with breast cancer for more than 20 years, and her sister shared their experience of fighting cancer together: “When I was diagnosed with breast cancer that year, my whole person lost the courage to live. With the persuasion and company of my family, Under the meticulous treatment of the medical staff, I lived a healthy life for another 26 years. My sister was also diagnosed with breast cancer in 2000 and has recovered for 21 years. Now, our sisters are engaged in the work of anti-cancer volunteers. Not only has it become the backbone of one’s own family, it has also become the “family” of many cancer patients. The facts tell us that the support of family members is a strong backing for the recovery of cancer patients.”

10 academicians cheered for the National Cancer Prevention and Control Promotion Week and jointly issued related initiatives. The role of the family in cancer prevention and cancer prevention cannot be ignored. As Academician He Jie said: “Tighten the family’s “cancer prevention” and find the right entry point, strengthen health education, and guide and supervise family members to change bad things. Living habits and the further popularization of a healthy lifestyle are the first gateway to cancer invasion.”

Bao Binh should restrain his ego, don’t let his impulsiveness spoil it. Stop blaming others, boldly admit mistakes and use sincerity to thank and acknowledge the help of those around you. This is also a way for you to build relationships that benefit life and career. It seems that on the second day this constellation is not interested in noisy or crowded places, all you need is a private, quiet space. Then boldly say no to the party’s urge to party, go home early and take care of yourself. Bao Binh’s working spirit on the first day of the week is relatively languid.

Pisces (February 19 – March 20) Horoscope 12 zodiac says that Pisces is full of energy, although you do not promise much, you can do things beyond your imagination. Besides work, you should also take time to hone your knowledge or learn a new skill. Presently, this may not bring immediate effects in work or in life, but study is never redundant. The emotional aspect of Pisces is still flat and peaceful. You always have someone with you in the most difficult times, someone who cheers, encourages, supports all your decisions, someone who protects you, comforts you every time you are hurt.

In terms of affection, although single Aries is extremely eager to find your true partner, it seems that the lack of positive attitude makes you not make any progress in relation to the other party. Use the most sincere and friendly attitude to reach potential audiences. Advise you to be careful with your money, avoid losing control. Keep yourself a certain amount of room. What can we do if we earn money for a long time and we can spend it quickly? It’s the same as collecting firewood for three years and burning in an hour. The lucky number of Aries is 42.

On the morning of April 15, the 27th National Cancer Prevention and Treatment Publicity Week (hereinafter referred to as Publicity Week) was officially launched in Beijing. Sohu Health learned that the theme of this year’s publicity week is “Healthy Chinese Health Home-Caring for Life, Scientifically Preventing Cancer”, and the importance of the family in preventing cancer and fighting cancer has been emphasized unprecedentedly.

“Family is an important environment and factor for cancer risk generation and development.” He Jie, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, director of the National Cancer Center, and president of the Cancer Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, pointed out that research shows that family support is a prerequisite for effective cancer prevention and management. About two-thirds of cancer risk factors are closely related to family life. Family members have the same genetic background and develop common diet and behavior patterns in a long-term common life.

What are the risk factors for cancer in family life? According to Zhao Dongbing, chief physician of the Department of Pancreatic and Stomach Surgery, Cancer Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, long-term unhealthy diet, smoking and alcoholism, lack of exercise, and discordant family atmosphere may all become predisposing factors for cancer.

The “Guidelines for Family Cancer Prevention” issued at the launching ceremony pointed out that by changing bad lifestyles, about 45% of cancers in my country can be effectively prevented.

“Pay close attention to the danger signs sent by the body.” Zhao Dongbing pointed out that the so-called danger signs are symptoms that are different from the previous ones. Family members should remind each other and seek medical attention in time.

Ms. Sun Guilan, an anti-cancer star who has struggled with breast cancer for more than 20 years, and her sister shared their experience of fighting cancer together: “When I was diagnosed with breast cancer that year, my whole person lost the courage to live. With the persuasion and company of my family, Under the meticulous treatment of the medical staff, I lived a healthy life for another 26 years. My sister was also diagnosed with breast cancer in 2000 and has recovered for 21 years. Now, our sisters are engaged in the work of anti-cancer volunteers. Not only has it become the backbone of one’s own family, it has also become the “family” of many cancer patients. The facts tell us that the support of family members is a strong backing for the recovery of cancer patients.”

10 academicians cheered for the National Cancer Prevention and Control Promotion Week and jointly issued related initiatives. The role of the family in cancer prevention and cancer prevention cannot be ignored. As Academician He Jie said: “Tighten the family’s “cancer prevention” and find the right entry point, strengthen health education, and guide and supervise family members to change bad things. Living habits and the further popularization of a healthy lifestyle are the first gateway to cancer invasion.”

More than two-fifths of new breast cancer patients in the world are in Asia, and nearly 40% of them are in China. Among various malignant tumors, the incidence of breast cancer is the highest among women in my country.

Breast is an important symbol of women’s feminine characteristics and beauty. It is mainly composed of lobules (glands that produce breast milk), ducts (the small tubes that carry breast milk from the lobules to the nipple), and matrix (fat tissue, ducts, connective tissues around the lobules, and blood vessels). , Lymphatic vessels). Under the siege of various carcinogenic factors, local tissue cells will proliferate. When the growth of these cells is no longer under control, tumors will occur.

So what factors will promote the production of cancer cells? Let me introduce you a professional term-“risk factors”. The so-called risk factors refer to any factors that may cause illness, but the presence of one or more risk factors does not necessarily mean illness.

The risk factors of breast cancer can be divided into two categories: “unchangeable risk factors” and “changeable risk factors”.

Unchangeable risk factors include gender, age, ethnicity, ethnicity, and family history of breast cancer. In addition to gender and age, family history of breast cancer is the most known risk factor associated with breast cancer: breast cancer in immediate family members The greater the number of people, the greater the risk; the younger the relatives at the time of diagnosis, the greater the risk. According to statistics, about 5%-10% of breast cancer patients are confirmed to be hereditary breast cancer, that is, the susceptibility of the tumor will be inherited through susceptibility genes. The most common hereditary breast cancer gene is the mutated BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene. .

Compared with the unalterable risk factors mentioned above, the changeable risk factors are mostly related to our personal daily habits or behaviors, such as alcoholism, long-term obesity, lack of exercise, not giving birth or breastfeeding, and long-term oral medications. Contraception, or having received hormone replacement therapy, etc., may increase the risk of breast cancer. Hormone replacement therapy (using estrogen and progesterone) has been used to relieve menopausal symptoms and prevent osteoporosis, but studies have found that combined use of estrogen and progesterone in postmenopausal women can increase the risk of breast cancer by 25%.

Research data also shows that breastfeeding can reduce the risk of breast cancer: breastfeeding every 12 months can reduce the risk of breast cancer by 4.3%. In addition, survey data also show that women who have never conceived or have their first child after the age of 30 are about twice as likely to develop breast cancer as women who have given birth before the age of 30.

Therefore, in order to avoid the occurrence of breast cancer, we can pay attention to weight control, a balanced diet, proper physical activity and physical exercise in daily life, and pay attention to relieve life pressure, control bad emotions, maintain a regular schedule, and let good health Living habits escort our health.

According to doctors at the Central Dermatology Hospital, basal cell cancer usually starts as a tumor of 1 to several centimeters in size, progressing slowly, without itching, and without pain, so people often ignore it. However, they can cause inflammation, ulcers, necrosis, and destruction of the local organization.

Causes of basal cell cancer

– Sunshine: Ultraviolet rays in the sun are believed to be a major risk factor for basal cell cancer. Accordingly, those who work outdoors have a very high rate of basal cell carcinoma and about 80% of basal cell carcinoma lesions in the open skin.

– Genetically modified: Studies show a higher chance of skin cancer due to genetic changes.

Common symptoms

• Tumor lesions: Usually starts with tumors of 1 to several cm in size, firm density, glossy, vasodilator above Non-itchy, painless, slow-progressing lesions may be ulcerative.

– Injury to fibrosis: Common in the nose or forehead, manifested as a flat lesion with the skin surface, sometimes into concave scars, infiltrates, above with dilated blood vessels, indistinct limit with healthy skin.

– Paget superficial lesions: Common in the body. Lesions are flat with the skin surface, well-defined, scaly upper, progressing slowly.

– Ulcerative lesions: All of the above types of lesions can be ulcerated for a long time on scaly black secretions or necrosis.

– Hyperpigmentation: Hyperpigmentation is very common in basal cell carcinoma lesions. Often having a dark brown color is easy to confuse with hyperpigmentation in melanoma.

• Regional lymph nodes may be large, infiltrate little or not.

How to treat

The leading principle of treatment for basal cell carcinoma is the complete removal of the cancer. The choice of treatment method depends on the type, location and size of the cancer tumor, and therefore requires the appointment of a specialist. Some commonly selected methods include: surgery, electrocautery, radiation therapy, liquid nitrogen …

After treatment, it is necessary to closely monitor to detect recurrence (if any) or detect new cancerous lesions.

How to prevent disease

The best prevention is to protect your skin from the harmful effects of sunlight by:

– Wear long-sleeved clothing and a wide-brimmed hat to go outdoors.

– Apply sunscreen regularly and properly, especially the face area because this is an area that is frequently exposed to the sun.

Limit prolonged exposure to sunlight, especially children.

In addition, need to immediately visit a doctor if detecting a lesion on the skin with a lump, a lump that looks like a “mole”; or unusual patches of skin color that show signs of spread, or develop over time.

If detected early and promptly treated, and extensively resected, basal cell cancer has a very good prognosis.

Basal cell carcinoma can cause inflammation, ulcers, necrosis, and destruction of the local organization

Asians and the Pacific islands have more liver cancer than people of other races. Liver cancer is more common in men than women.

Hepatitis B

Chronic hepatitis B is a major risk factor for developing liver cancer and is the leading cause of liver cancer in Africa and Asia. Research shows that people with chronic hepatitis B have a 100 times higher risk of developing liver cancer than people without the disease.

Hepatitis C virus

Hepatitis C is also a major risk factor for the development of liver cancer. When hepatitis C is detected and treated with antiviral drugs, the risk of cirrhosis and liver cancer can be significantly reduced.

Liver cancer is a fairly common disease and has a low survival rate if it is not detected and treated promptly.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a condition similar to alcoholic liver disease, but leads to the accumulation of fat in the liver and the formation of fatty liver by a different mechanism. It is an autoimmune disease and may have a genetic predisposition. With NAFLD, the risk of liver cancer increases. Metabolic syndrome is closely related to NAFLD, which may also be a risk factor for liver cancer.

Immunosuppression

Immunosuppression increases the risk of liver cancer, as well as other cancers. Organ transplant recipients have a double risk of developing liver cancer compared to the general population, and the risk is even higher for those who have had a liver transplant. Being infected with HIV / AIDS is linked to a five-fold higher risk of developing liver cancer.

Systemic lupus erythematosus

The reason is not conclusively conclusive, but people with systemic lupus are twice as likely to develop liver cancer.

Diabetes mellitus

People with diabetes are at risk of developing liver cancer 2-3 times higher than the general population. It is of concern that the antidiabetic drug Glucophage (metformin) may reduce this risk.

Chemical exposure and occupational hazards

Exposure to certain chemicals has been linked to the development of liver cancer. One exposure that the community may experience is arsenic in well water. Occupational exposures are also of concern, including exposure to substances such as vinyl chloride (found in plastics), acrylamide, PFOA or perfluorooctanoic acid (found in dry cleaning methods), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB), perfluorinated (PFC), benzo pyrene (BaP) and trichlorethylene.

Sclerosing cholangitis

Sclerosing cholangitis causes inflammation and scarring of the biliary tract, which causes bile to flow back into the liver. About 10-15% of people with sclerosing cholangitis develop biliary tract cancer.

Exposure to aflatoxin

This is an important risk factor in many countries. Aflatoxin B1 is a fungal toxin (of the genus Aspergillus) produced on foods such as wheat, peanuts, soybeans and corn. This toxin causes damage to the p53 gene in liver cells – a tumor suppressor gene that helps repair damaged DNA and inhibits the growth of harmful cells. Ongoing research is underway to investigate whether aflatoxin spontaneously causes liver cancer or is a cofactor when combined with hepatitis B disease.

Genetics

Liver cancer has a family inherited factor. If a relative has liver cancer, it will increase the risk of the disease. The risk is highest when a relative who is a parent or sibling has liver cancer.

Lifestyle risk factors

Lifestyle factors are very important in the development of liver cancer. These are risk factors you can adjust and control.

Long-term and excessive use of alcohol: Excessive alcohol use, over a long period of time, can cause a number of liver diseases, including alcoholic hepatitis and alcoholic liver disease. Over time, cirrhosis develops with a marked scarring of the liver parenchyma and leads to liver failure. Liver cancer is mainly related to drinking more alcohol or drinking more than 3 drinks per day, although less intake can still cause liver disease and cannot be reversed. Acute alcohol intoxication, although not associated with liver cancer in the short term, may increase the risk of hepatitis B or C-related behaviors.

Tobacco smoke: Smoking is a risk factor for many cancers, and liver cancer is no exception. Several studies show a link between smoking and liver cancer, and people who smoke and drink a lot are at a significantly higher risk of developing the disease. Children born to parents who smoke before or during pregnancy are at risk for a rare type of liver cancer called hepatoblastoma.

Obesity: The role of obesity in liver cancer is not conclusive, but obesity increases the risk of developing non-alcoholic liver disease, and the condition quadruple the risk. muscle of liver cancer, as well as a 3-fold increase in risk of diabetes mellitus.

Use of anabolic steroids: Anabolic steroids are substances used by weightlifters and bodybuilders to build muscle, and are considered a risk factor for liver disease and liver cancer.

Other risk factors

There may be some radiation-related risk caused by X-rays. The schistosomiasis parasite is being studied for a possible role in liver cancer. Autoimmune hepatitis and gallstones are also risk factors for liver cancer in question.

The reason that the relatively low rate of early diagnosis of cancer in people is directly related to the lack of understanding of cancer related knowledge and ignoring physical symptoms.

Currently, the most common type of cancer is cancer of the internal organs, such as gastrointestinal cancer, liver cancer, lung cancer … These organs are all located in the abdominal cavity, so after developing into Cancer, the patient’s abdomen will also appear various abnormal symptoms.

If these 3 symptoms appear on the abdomen, being alert is a sign of cancer.

1. Abdominal pain

Illustration

Pain is the most typical symptom of cancer. Almost all solid internal organs in the body can become cancerous. Illness in each stage will have different levels of pain. For example, liver cancer can cause upper right abdominal pain, pancreatic cancer can cause upper middle abdominal pain, and bowel cancer can cause lower abdominal pain …

If you have been experiencing a dull, throbbing, or persistent pain in a certain part of your abdomen in recent times, but you may not be able to tell the specific location and sensation of pain. After taking the drug is not relieved and lasting more than two weeks, you need to see the hospital, because this may be a sign of cancer.

2. Ascites

Illustration

Ascites is a condition used to refer to the accumulation of pathological fluid or water in the peritoneal cavity. Clinically believed that ascites appeared not necessarily cancer, but it was definitely a sign of serious illness. Such as cirrhosis and kidney failure.

If it is not, the appearance of ascites may be related to cancer. Clinically, regardless of the type of cancer of the internal organs, as long as it invades the peritoneum, the symptom of ascites develops. In which, ascites caused by liver cancer is the most common disease, its occurrence is related to portal hypertension and decreased blood protein.

3. Bloating, loss of appetite

Illustration

Many people will blindly think that it is a common chronic stomach disease after they have symptoms such as bloating and loss of appetite. But in reality, there are many factors that cause bloating, loss of appetite, for example, after the liver, pancreas and other digestive organs have cancer, they are dysfunctional, not secreting enough bile and fluid. pancreas or interfere with excretion. In the early stages of the illness, the person may experience symptoms such as loss of appetite, nausea, bloating, and abdominal pain.

If there is no chronic stomach disease, while the above symptoms have recently appeared or do not improve after taking medication for chronic stomach problems and the symptoms last for more than 2 weeks, this may be the sign. signs of cancer, you should see your doctor.

In addition to the above 3 abnormal symptoms, if you feel a hard, irregular, painless tumor, poor mobility on your abdomen, you should also be careful of the appearance of a malignant tumor. If you experience all 3 of the above symptoms, this means you need a complete physical exam. Patients should accurately inform their doctor of their actual symptoms, age, family, and medical history before proceeding to professionally indicated examination to get the most accurate diagnosis.

Analysis conducted on Roche’s pharmacovigilance database showed 99 cases of serious adverse skin reactions, including 36 cases confirmed by histopathology or according to a specialist’s diagnosis. , in patients taking atezolizumab. About 23,654 patients who were treated in clinical trials and 106,316 after the drug was licensed for circulation in the market were exposed to atezolizumab as of May 17, 2020.

The incidence of serious adverse skin reactions based on laboratory clinical trials with atezolizumab as monotherapy and combination was 0.7% and 0.6%, respectively. A death from toxic epidermal necrolysis has been reported in a 77-year-old patient treated with atezolizumab as monotherapy.

Concerned about the above serious adverse reactions that may occur when taking the drug, Roche Company recommends: If serious adverse skin reactions are suspected, the patient should be referred to a specialist. to be diagnosed and handled appropriately. Treatment with atezolizumab should be discontinued if Stevens-Johnson syndrome or toxic epidermal necrolysis is suspected. Treatment with atezolizumab should be permanently discontinued if Stevens-Johnson syndrome or toxic epidermal necrolysis is confirmed, as well as any adverse skin reactions or severe rash at grade 4. Atezolizumab should be used. Caution is given to patients with a history of serious or life-threatening adverse skin reactions during previous treatment with another immunostimulating anticancer drug.

Mai Diem Phuong, “Madonna of Hong Kong” is loved by many audiences for her ability to change the talent on both music and screen. Beautiful, talented but she has a multi-life.

She died at the age of 40 in the mourning of friends and relatives in the face of the evil bowel cancer. At the end of her life, Mai Diem Phuong also shared that she wants to be loved, married, have children and be a mother like many other ordinary people.

Regarding cervical cancer, symptoms usually appear at an early stage. With terminal cancer or cancer that has metalysed to other parts of the body, the symptoms can be exacerbated depending on the tissues and muscles on which the disease has spread.

The cause of the symptom is also not so obvious, it may be another pathology other than cancer, but those with signs of cervical cancer certainly have symptoms such as:

– Bleeding or mild bleeding between or after the “red light” period

– Menstruation is more and longer than usual.

– Bleeding after sex or dosing.

– Increased vaginal secrety.

– Pain in sex.

– Bleeding after menopause.

– Persistent pelvic or back pain for unknown reasons.

During the examination, the doctor will use diagnostic tests to find out the stage of cancer. Knowing at what stage the cancer is at will help the doctor make a decision on what type of treatment is best and the patient has the highest chance of recovery.

Cervical cancer has 4 stages:

Phase I: The cancer has spread from the cervical mucosa into deeper tissue but is still only seen in the uterus. It does not spread to other parts of the body. Specifically:

– Cancer is diagnosed only by viewing tissue or cervical cells under a microscope. Photo tests or tissue sample evaluations can also be used to determine tumor size scenarios.

+ IA1 phase: There is a cancerous area less than 3mm deep.

+ Phase IA2: There is a cancerous area with beans from 3mm to less than 5 mm.

– During this period, the tumor is larger but still limited to the cervical. There is no spread.

+ IB1 phase: The tumor has a depth of 5mm or more and a width of less than 2 cm.

+ IB2 phase: The tumor has a depth of 2 cm or more and a width of less than 4 cm.

+ IB phase3: The tumor has a width of 4 cm or more.

Phase II: The cancer has spread beyond the uterus to neighboring areas, such as the vagina or tissue near the cervical, but it remains inside the pelvic region. It does not spread to other feces of the body.

– The tumor is limited to 2/3 of the upper part of the vagina. It has not yet spread to the tissue next to the cervical, which is called the parameters area.

+ Phase IIA1: The tumor is less than 4cm wide.

+ Phase IIA2: Tumors 4 cm or more wide

– The tumor has spread to the parameters area. The tumor does not reach the pelvic city.

Phase III: The tumor is associated with 1/3 of the lower part of the vagina or has spread to the pelvic city causing swelling of the kidneys, also known as fluid retention kidneys, which prevents the kidneys from functioning and is associated with regional lymph nodes. The lymph nodes are small, pea-shaped muscles that help fight infections. There is no distant spread.

– The tumor involves a lower third of the vagina but it has not yet developed into the pelvic city.

– The tumor has grown into the pelvic city or affects the kidneys.

– Tumors associated with regional lymph nodes. This can be detected by photo or pathology tests.

+ Phase IIIC1: The cancer has spread to the lymph nodes in the pelvis.

+ Phase IIIC2: The cancer has spread to the lymph nodes next to the aortic. These lymph nodes are found in the abdominal area near the base of the spine and near the aortic, a main artery that runs from the heart to the abdomen

IVA Phase: The cancer has spread to the bladder or rectum, but it has not yet spread to other feces of the body.

Phase IVB: The cancer has meta metalysed to other parts of the body.
