“Cancer” has been the top ten cause of death in Taiwan for 42 consecutive years. According to the latest statistics from the National Health Insurance Administration, more than 800,000 people in Taiwan are receiving treatment for malignant tumors. How to improve the quality of life of cancer patients after surgery and treatment is indeed a major issue affecting millions of families. In order to increase Taiwanese people’s attention to the care of cancer patients and advocate the concept of “cancer friendliness”, the “Taiwan Cancer Rehabilitation and Prevention Association” and healthorn New Media jointly held the first “2023 Global Health Industry Innovation Summit” on September 1 Regional Forum", inviting industry and academic experts to gather together, and cooperating with public welfare organizations such as the “Breast Cancer Patients Association of Taiwan” and the “Non-Invasive Cancer Treatment Research Society of Taiwan” to hold special speeches and friendly exchanges at the Zhang Rongfa Foundation International Conference Center At the market, the well-known bisexual writer “H” was invited to serve as this year’s cancer friend friendly ambassador, sharing the life and true voice of cancer patients.
The key to returning to normal life after cancer! 90% of Taiwanese people do not understand the importance of cancer rehabilitation
Lin Ziwei, chairman of the Taiwan Cancer Rehabilitation and Prevention Association, said that cancer prevention and post-cancer rehabilitation are two major problems faced by families of cancer patients, and it is estimated that more than 90% of Taiwanese people do not fully understand the concept of “cancer rehabilitation”, let alone We know the importance of cancer rehabilitation. Taking breast cancer, the number one killer of women, as an example, proper cancer rehabilitation will affect the time it takes for cancer patients to return to normal life. There were breast cancer patients who did not receive any rehabilitation treatment after surgery. Being unable to return to work for up to two years has a huge impact on daily life.
Dr. Huang Bairong, expert chairman of the Taiwan Cancer Rehabilitation and Prevention Association, pointed out that the surgical treatment of breast cancer continues to advance, and radical mastectomy has progressed to breast-conserving surgery; traditional lymphadenectomy can also be changed to sentinel lymph node dissection (Sentinel Lymph Node Dissection). , SLND), significantly reducing the chance of postoperative lymphedema or motor function impairment. However, the impact of surgery on lymphatic circulation and surrounding tissue circulation is unavoidable. Cancer patients are still advised to get involved in professional cancer rehabilitation as soon as possible.
Cross-field exchange of cancer care knowledge helps cancer patients improve their quality of life
Chairman Lin Ziwei pointed out that with the development of science, technology and smart medical care, the professional knowledge fields of cancer prevention and rehabilitation are also constantly improving. Even medical care practitioners often fail to understand the latest research and clinical applications of cancer rehabilitation in a timely manner. Some professionals still stick to the traditional view, believing that cancer patients can return to normal life after surgery and treatment. In fact, whether the correct rehabilitation method is adopted is a key factor in the patient’s prognosis and recovery.
“The original intention of the 2023 Global Health Industry Innovation Cross-Domain Forum is to solve the cognitive gap in cancer rehabilitation knowledge and help improve the care and quality of life of cancer patients!” Chairman Lin Ziwei said that Taiwan needs to establish a connection between cross-domain professionals Including doctors, nutritionists, occupational therapists, and physiotherapists, they should also be included in corporate brands in the general health field to help all walks of life communicate with each other about the latest cancer prevention and rehabilitation knowledge, and promote the latest cancer prevention and rehabilitation knowledge through cross-domain cooperation initiatives. cancer prevention and rehabilitation knowledge to improve overall national health.
New concepts in adjuvant cancer treatment: proactive intervention and appropriate treatment to enhance resilience
“H”, who serves as this year’s Cancer Friendly Ambassador, a well-known bisexual writer and a prostate cancer lover, said that he felt obvious physical discomfort when taking hormonal drugs before the surgery, and once suffered from urinary leakage, erectile dysfunction and other problems after the surgery. However, there are few relevant experts found in online searches who can share detailed information on postoperative recovery assessment and rehabilitation methods, which may indeed affect cancer patients’ views on the disease. This shows the importance of promoting cancer friendliness and correct knowledge of post-cancer care.
Dr. Chen Yongren, Chairman of the Non-Invasive Cancer Treatment Research Society of Taiwan, pointed out that “adjuvant treatment” for cancer has been promoted in recent years, and cancer patients are encouraged to actively engage in nutritional conditioning and exercise rehabilitation after the treatment to improve prognosis and quality of life. For example, preoperative assessment of colorectal cancer can adjust the intestinal flora to increase the resilience of the intestinal mucosa; or consider whether to intervene in “thermal therapy” to regulate the microenvironment before cancer surgery. In addition, from the perspective of functional medicine, preoperative testing of Q10, vitamin C and other items can help to understand the physical condition and recovery time in advance.
Chairman Chen Yongren said that there are nearly 900,000 cancer patients in Taiwan. The two major issues in promoting “cancer friendliness” are the funding sources for relevant testing and the supporting measures for auxiliary treatment. In the future, we need to continue to advocate and appeal to the competent authorities and private enterprises. With joint support, cancer detection can be scaled up and popularized, and post-cancer nutritional conditioning and correct rehabilitation concepts should be continuously promoted to effectively improve the quality of life of the majority of cancer patients.
