Hello everyone!

It is "Kumagai Internal Medicine and Neurology Clinic" located in Motomachi Chinatown.

 

Do you know that the medical level in Japan is higher than in other countries?

The relationship between healthcare professionals and patients and the safety of treatments for diseases (only treatments approved and licensed by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare are performed) are clear compared to other countries.

 

However, there is a disease that afflicts the Japanese.

It is "cancer".

The number of cancer patients is rising to the right every year, making it the leading cause of death.

In this article, I will explain why cancer patients are steadily increasing.

 

 

• Increased life expectancy has increased the number of affected people

We believe that there are two reasons behind the increase in cancer patients, one of which is extending life.

The life expectancy of Japanese is more than 10 years longer than 1970.

It is said to be an aging society, but it is wonderful to live long and healthy.

As life has increased, older people have a wider range of illnesses, and the number of people with the disease being treated has increased.

 

• Enhancement of cancer screening and cancer testing

With the spread of knowledge about cancer to the nation, cancer screening and cancer testing have been enhanced. In addition, the accuracy of cancer testing has been improved, and small cancers can be detected early.

 

Early detection and treatment increases the chances of cancer being cured.

Be sure to treat your physical condition without leaving it alone.
