The number of cancer cases in Russia is growing regularly, and the Perm Region is no exception. Unfortunately, the incidence of cancer in the region is higher than the average in Russia, and it is growing. We want to tell you that cancer is not a verdict. Yes, it is a dangerous and serious disease, but it is treatable. The question that worries many is during what period is it necessary to consult a doctor for cancer?
We are talking about this with Lyubov Zavrazhnykh, the chief physician of the Ust-Kachka resort.
1. How to detect cancer in the early stages?
Any disease is easier to prevent than to treat. Oncology is no exception in our case. Therefore, attention is now focused on early diagnosis of oncopathology. There is a decree on this to all specialists conducting medical examinations and periodic medical examinations of the population. And, of course, each of us is responsible for our own health. At the first appearance of any incomprehensible symptoms, you should immediately consult a doctor. And if you have been prescribed an examination, you need to go through it, and not postpone it. It's important to do it here and now.
2. What are the symptoms of going to an oncologist?
With absolutely any symptoms that you do not understand, as well as with any neoplasms, you should also immediately consult a dermatologist, therapist, etc. And the doctor will determine whether you need to be examined by an oncologist. There is no need to be afraid and self-medicate, because sometimes the most harmless health disorders seem fatal and irreversible to us. We immediately contact a specialist!
3. What diagnostic methods are used in the Ust-Kachka resort? How effective are they? After all, many people are now looking for a sanatorium for cancer patients.
Ust-Kachka is a balneological resort. First of all, we are engaged in health improvement and disease prevention. At the resort, we carry out screening diagnostics of oncological diseases, i.e. we determine the presence of any abnormalities in the condition of all human organs and functional systems and, accordingly, determine the need for a deeper special examination at the dispensary where the patient lives.
4. Can a person who has undergone traditional cancer treatment (surgery, chemotherapy) return to normal life? And what does he need for this: psychological support, medication, and a healthy lifestyle?
At the stage when the diagnosis is made, of course, all patients experience severe stress. And in the future, all types of treatment are associated with physical exertion and emotional stress. Therefore, starting from the moment of diagnosis, the patient needs psychological support, proper (functional) nutrition with essential vitamins, minerals, trace elements, and walks in the fresh air. As for drug therapy, we'll leave the final word to the specialists.
5. What special rehabilitation programs for cancer patients are used in the Ust-Kachka resort? Are these some kind of unique techniques?
Rehabilitation at the Ust-Kachka resort is indicated for patients with cancer who have undergone specific treatment. The rehabilitation program at our resort includes psychological and physical rehabilitation, herbal medicine, and drug therapy according to indications.
6. How effective is rehabilitation?
We see our task in improving the psychological state of patients. We want bright colors to return to their lives again. And I wanted to visit our resort more and more often, but with a different purpose – rest and health maintenance.
7. What advice would you like to give to people who are faced with this dangerous diagnosis - "cancer"?
This is not a verdict. It is necessary to start treatment in a timely manner and follow all the recommendations of doctors. And do not hope that the disease will pass by itself.
