When it comes to cancer, many people feel fear. Even as modern medical technology continues to advance and treatments become more diverse, the fear of cancer remains. Actually, there is no need for excessive panic when it comes to cancer. Because in clinical practice, most cancers have a greater chance of being cured in the early and middle stages. As long as the disease is not allowed to progress to an advanced stage, the risk is usually not too high. If the disease progresses to an advanced stage, even if Hua Tuo is reincarnated, I am afraid it will be difficult to completely cure.

Therefore, once you find that you are unwell or have inflammation that does not heal for a long time, you should immediately go to the hospital to consult a doctor and receive relevant treatment, so as not to miss the best time for treatment.

Regarding inflammation, it is a special mechanism of self-protection of the human body, which can help to a certain extent resist the invasion of external microorganisms and eliminate abnormal tissue cells in the body. However, if the inflammatory response is excessive, it can also cause harm to the body, such as redness, swelling, pain, and other uncomfortable symptoms, and in severe cases, it can even lead to functional impairment and autoimmune problems. Studies have shown that long-term, recurrent inflammation that is difficult to cure may increase the risk of local histiocytic mutations, thereby increasing the likelihood of cancer.

Of course, not all types of inflammation necessarily lead to cancer. Chronic inflammation is more likely to cause cells to become cancerous than acute inflammation. It is important to note that it usually takes a decade or even decades for inflamed tissue to become cancerous. Therefore, patients with chronic inflammation should be treated early to prevent cancer. However, doctors specifically point out that there are three types of inflammation that need to be treated promptly to avoid delay: hepatitis B, gastritis, and colitis.

1. Hepatitis B

Clinically, the number of hepatitis B patients is relatively large. This disease is a liver disease caused by hepatitis B virus infection, which continues to replicate in the liver and gradually damage the liver. If measures are not taken to suppress the development of the virus, patients may develop cirrhosis or even liver cancer later in life.

2. Gastritis

Gastritis is also very common clinically. After infection with Helicobacter pylori, people may develop varying degrees of gastritis and peptic ulcer symptoms. If left untreated in a timely and effective manner, stomach cancer may be induced over time. Helicobacter pylori, as a primary carcinogen, is mainly transmitted through unhygienic diet and faeces.

3. Colitis

Although colitis may not sound serious, many patients don't take it seriously enough and think that just taking anti-inflammatory drugs is enough. However, anti-inflammatory drugs often only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. If the lesion is stimulated by inflammation for a long time, the chance of colorectal cells becoming cancerous will be greatly increased, thus inducing colorectal cancer.
