It’s normal to order takeout nearly 300 times a year, drink wine and eat barbecue every week, and stay up late. Xiao He (pseudonym), a 29-year-old man from Mainland China, was unfortunately diagnosed with gastric cancer. He is recognized by his colleagues as a career maniac, passionate about work and tireless. He is highly appreciated by company supervisors at a young age. One month ago, he always felt upper abdominal pain and dizziness. , noticed that his stools were always dark, and at the request of his family, he went to the hospital for a check-up. Unexpectedly, it was cancer.
According to comprehensive mainland media reports, Xiao He is a recognized workaholic, passionate about his career and tireless. He is deeply appreciated at a young age and is listed as a key training target. One month ago, he always felt upper abdominal pain, dizziness, and weakness in his limbs. He also noticed that his stool was always dark. Since Xiao He has a chronic stomach problem, he just needs to take some medicine every time it attacks, and he is used to it. Although the doctor has recommended a gastroscopy many times, he has never done it because he finds it troublesome.
About two weeks ago, Xiao He reluctantly went to the hospital for a gastroscopy under his mother’s repeated reminders and strong requests. The results were like a bolt from the blue: he was diagnosed with gastric antral adenocarcinoma. Xiao He was evaluated at the Gastrointestinal and Pancreatic Surgery Department of Zhejiang Provincial People’s Hospital. Fortunately, only the lymph nodes around the lesion were swollen and there was no obvious distant metastasis. After surgery, 2/3 of the stomach and peripheral lymph nodes were removed, and the recovery was smooth. There is still more work to do next. received subsequent adjuvant chemotherapy.
The report pointed out that Xiao He is meticulous at work, but lives as he pleases. He has hardly cooked in the past 5 or 6 years of work. The only thing he can cook at home is instant noodles. Although the company has a small canteen, Xiao He finds the food monotonous and relies on takeout nearly 300 times a year. After working overtime at night, he has to have late-night snacks with colleagues and friends. He goes out for drinks and barbecues every week and often stays up late. He often doesn’t have time to eat breakfast. Just chew a few biscuits and it’ll be fine.
“Many gastrointestinal diseases, even gastric cancer and intestinal cancer, originate from irregular and unreasonable eating habits. It is not unreasonable for the disease to enter through the mouth. Eating barbecue, takeout, etc. at night will increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract, affect sleep, and easily gain weight.” Zhejiang Wang Yuanyu, director of the Gastrointestinal and Pancreatic Surgery Department of the Provincial People’s Hospital, analyzed that although young patients like Xiao He have no family history of gastric cancer, their disordered diet and rest, and the superposition of multiple pathogenic factors, lead to cancer at a young age.
The doctor explained that although the main age of onset of gastric cancer is 40 to 60 years old, the incidence rate among young people under 35 years old has increased significantly recently. “When I first started working, there was not one young gastric cancer patient every year. Now there are no young gastric cancer patients.” Not uncommon. Young gastric cancer patients often have poor pathological types, such as poorly differentiated or signet ring cells, and the prognosis is not ideal, and most of them are young office workers or entrepreneurs.
