Every year, Vietnam has about 126,000 cases of acquiring cancers and among them are about 94,000 dead cases. For this number, Vietnam is one of countries with the highest cancer mortality rate in the world. The point is that the age group acquiring cancer is becoming younger and younger. This brings us many concerns about problems we are facing.
1. Why should we have to screen the tumor’s image?
According to statistics, in Vietnam, about 70% of patients with cancers are detected at its late stage of development. Then treatment prognosis is limited. Therefore, we have to combine different treatment methods which are complicated and take time. This has resulted in tiredness and costliness for patients and their families as well.
The majority of cancers develop silently and do not show any symptoms at its early stage. When patients feel abnormal in their bodies, then the illness has developed into its late stage – at this stage, chance for survival is fairly low.
Cancer experts all agree that most cancers can be effectively treated when they are early detected and timely treated in an appropriate manner. Therefore, screening the tumor’s image is considered an early detection technique to work out an interventional method and effective treatment regime. So, we can reduce mortality rate and treatment cost for patients.
