Medical Diagnosis of Cancer at An Early Age-1
It is worrying to see how each day increases the number of deaths due to dreaded cancer, but more worrying is that this disease is currently diagnosed at a younger age.
Dr. José Manuel Palomo, gynecologic oncologist, said that this phenomenon is partly due to neglect of the people by the lack of a preventive level, because in our culture there is to see a doctor early on but when it occurs any symptoms, what cancer means an intermediate or advanced in most cases is not operable.
He noted that each type of cancer has different origins, such as cancer of the cervix may be due to the onset of early intercourse, multiple sexual partners, not using protection and different ways of sex, factors that increase the incidence Vaginal infections at an event is the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) that is responsible for 98% of cervical cancer.
“The clarion call is to emphasize that when women start their sexual life, or showing any kind of infection go to a doctor to be checked or to diagnose diseases such as sexually transmitted virus, warts, or prevent cancer,” said.
He added that genetic factors are influential in cancers, but when exposed to the environment, such as sex, food, multiple partners, these factors are further developed at an early age, this being the actual phenomenon, to which increasingly are finding cancers in younger patients.
“Unfortunately we have diagnosed 18 women with invasive cancer stage, a situation that is very disturbing because in the past was not,” he said.
And as always stresses the importance of prevention, as many patients go to the doctor for an infection control or cytology and this is where you can detect a problem, the specialist said, adding that in the first instance should be examined to detect breast cancer first, then gynecological check the cervix and ovaries, to detect the presence of cysts or masses and stand in doubt done an ultrasound to confirm the physical examination, “with its cytology , ultrasound and physical exam can be confident it will not develop any gynecological cancer in their control, “he said.
