Oncologist named two basic rules in cancer treatment

Ivan Kaprin, deputy chief physician for oncology at Odintsovo Regional Hospital, chief oncologist at the Ministry of Health of the Moscow Region, candidate of medical sciences, told on Thursday, February 6, about two main rules that help in the treatment of oncology.

According to the specialist, the most important thing is regular medical examination: the disease develops very quietly, so you need to detect it at early stages, and then in 98 cases out of 100 you can cure the disease completely.

In addition, you need a positive attitude: it is very important to know your diagnosis and understand what a long way to go.

In addition, the oncologist named risk factors in the development of cancer.

"Obesity, alcohol, smoking contribute to the development of tumors. It is necessary for everyone to take themselves into their own hands and deny themselves something. There should be a measure in everything," Kaprin emphasized in a conversation with Radio 1.

Kaprin noted that cancer treatment should be consistent.
