Cancer has no upper limit of age to measure
Propose seeming equivocal: Do a cancer to measure, will save your life. In fact, really find cancer early in Pap slide, breast radiography skill and other cancers detection means, in order to treat even cure fighting for time, has saved the life of thousands of patients. But a question makes persons confuse: Do not check regular cancer until what age bracket needn't on earth? Most rules about treatment of cancer,etc. have not involved this question. Dartmouth medical college William C. Dr. Black points out, this question has not been paid close attention to yet after analyzing the federal health data. He thinks that it is very important to measure to the life which saves the patient cancer, the benefit begin with 75 about year old, the intersection of age and every the intersection of increase and a year old, the benefit is thereupon reducing. Cancer may be neglected to this kind of benefit of the elderly's because of their harmfulness while checking: Anxious, extra detection and useless treatment. Society Robert A of U.S.A.'s cancer. Smith Dr. think until trend, senilization of U.S.A., aggravate, cancer becomes increasingly important to measure. The society has not measured and presumed the upper limit of age to cancer. " whether but we will try to make cancer measured and more rationalled, guarantee most cancer dangerous group is thought to be really worth " . Reach common understanding on the time started that the cancer mechanisms at all levels can all generally be checked at cancer: Pap slide which measures cervical cancer is checked, begun with about 18 years old; It influences the skill to begin with 40 years old to make to the breast of breast cancer. Cancer of colon and peculiar antigen (PSA) of prostate Checking begins with about 50 years old. If the patient has family's history of cancer or endangers the factor other high, the doctor usually urges their inspection early. It is already unnecessary to measure answer about some ages. The patient that very obvious condition is extremely serious does not need to measure. But a lot of old persons are very healthy. It proves that still invites the potential life-span for 12 years that the mean age is 75 years old, some people can even live to the age of 100. Meanwhile, detection means is becoming more and more advanced, can find minimum tumour, this kind of tumour may never grow fast to the stage that really threatens the elderly's life. But it will cause the serious side effect to treat this kind of tumour. The same as some other mortality diseases, suffer from the danger of cancer to increase with increase of age, the elderly most likely die of heart disease. Black uses mortality to count the data analysis and carry on the life expectancy that breast cancer, cervical cancer and cancer of colon check the patient. Give up breast radiography skill or cancer of colon and excrement and urine occult blood to check, make the 75 -year-old patient's life-span only shorten 9 days averagely. Give up checking and shortening life-span by 5 days at the age of 80. The above-mentioned data were issued last monthOn the magazine. Women give up Pap slide review seminar to make the life-span shorten 3 days on average at the age of 75. Contrast with it, if 50 -year-old the elderly carry on the intersection of breast and the intersection of radiography and the intersection of skill and inspection than carry on examiner to be average to live 43 day more. Black emphasizes, the above-mentioned figure fetches arrogant all averages, it was that have not suffered from the information inspired of any cancer that the great majority got the person who measures cancer, so this dilutes and measures the overall influence that can save patient's individual life. On the contrary, the most important discovery lies in the prominent difference between the age bracket, this indicates importance measured is weakened with the passage of time. Also there are different views. Smith on U.S.A. cancer learn object to, because reach a certain particular reason of age and stop measuring only, he thinks that measuring will especially benefit healthy the elderly. But Black requires the elderly and their doctor in U.S.A. to canvass the following question completely: According to my health history, it contributes to lengthening the life-span to carry on this kind of test? Has the sign indicated I needn't carry on a certain test? For example get 65 or have, infect with which cause most cervical cancer the intersection of person and papilla the intersection of tumour and virus can needn't make and then Pap slide, check before the 70 year old. Black point out, make one wise decision, should understand, need, go on, find or biopsy distinguish, produce malignant tumour and benign tumour many times, and some tumours will never pose the life threat.
