The control of tobacco products that are harmful to health is emphasized in the global control of cancer. This is because tobacco products have a big risk to cause disease from heart disease and stroke, cancer, diabetes and chronic lung disease.

Thus one of the problems which arose in the World Cancer Congress-21 in Shenzhen, China, which took place August 18 to 21 this. Congress was attended by around 4000 participants from around 100 countries was organized by the International Union Against Cancer (UICC).

The cancer sufferer worldwide two years ago reached 12.7 million people. Approximately 12.7 percent of lung cancer, which is due to cigarette smoke, both in smokers and people exposed to cigarette smoke exposure.

David Hill of the UICC, last weekend at the congress, said users need to press the company that uses tobacco raw material which is dangerous to health, like cigarettes, so they stop producing products that cause suffering and death. “It should be encouraged that smoking can be controlled,” said Hill.

Ala Alwan, Assistant Director-General of the World Health Organization says smoking the most risk for non-communicable diseases, such as heart disease, stroke, cancer, diabetes and chronic lung disease. Admittedly, the increase of cancer patients globally are also due to unhealthy food, lack of activity, and alcohol is dangerous.

Until now, only around 10 percent of world population is protected from exposure to tobacco smoke. The most victimized population instead of the bottom layer in developing countries and poor. “To control this cancer, we must be serious about strengthening health systems and cross-sector action,” said Alwan.

Chen Junshi, from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention in China, said that cancer affected many environmental factors. The triggers of the current high risk of cancer, among others, are smoking, diet, nutrition, and obesity. Cancer is a significant improvement, among others, is the large intestine or colon cancer, lung cancer, breast cancer, and cervical cancer.

In controlling the increase of cancer in the world, “said Otis W. Bradley of the American Cancer Society, the message must be incessantly echoed today are: early detection saves lives. This is because, with the development of medical technology, diagnostic tests, and screening technology, the cancer is detected early can be treated to reduce mortality.

The theme of the congress this time is to prevent preventable diseases, treat patients who can be treated, through a system of expectations into reality. This conference will pay attention to cancer prevention, screening, early detection, early treatment, and support for special treatment, hospital care, and other problems.
