Cancer is very common

 

Cancer, what is it actually? After all, this disease is now the cause of the death of over 200,000 people in Germany every year. Everyone's gonna die sometime. The only question is how and when. And cancer is the leading cause of death here in agony and dying at a rather young age. 

Lung cancer is still the most common cause of death from cancer. In 2010 alone, almost 43,000 Germans died from it. Followed by breast cancer with 17500 deaths. Malignant changes of the colon and pancreas occupy the following places. 

The most popular killer tumor in men is still lung cancer, and in women it is breast cancer. What does that tell us? Most diseases are probably home-made, i.e. they are the responsibility of the person concerned.

Think of the number one, lung cancer. There are now international studies on this disease that clearly show the connection between smoking and cancer. Diet and a massive lack of exercise are the next cause. So: get rid of cigarette butts or at least reduce consumption and go for a walk! Away with fast food and cook for yourself again. Then half the battle is won!

I m dead

We all have to; want, may, will and can die one day. In this respect we all become the same in death. A big difference is only present when it comes to how die? General desire to go to bed happy and content in the evening when you are very old and to fall asleep gently when you are as old as possible... that would be nice.

 The reality is different. German figures.

1st place: heart failure. The year before last, more than 7 million people (12.9 percent) succumbed to this disease worldwide.

2nd place: Blood clots in the head, also known as a stroke. After all, 6.2 million victims worldwide.

3rd place: Other lower respiratory tract infections kill 3.2 million people. .

4th place: COPD. It sounds harmless, but it is the lung disease that kills 3 million people worldwide every year. Is usually self-inflicted, through smoking.

Place 5: 1.6 million people succumbed to the AIDS virus in 2011. 6th place: According to the WHO, smoking is one of the greatest dangers. terlima-news - Cancer of the lungs and bronchi are therefore the

6th most common cause of death. In total, 1.5 million people died directly from smoking in 2011.

7th place: Diabetes was the cause of death for 1.4 million people worldwide in 2011.

8th place: Traffic accidents are one of the most common causes of death worldwide. 1.3 million people died in road traffic accidents in 2011. Incidentally, a 10% increase in the number of cases in Germany.

Transplant of a smokers lung

You have to imagine this. A young woman (28) from Great Britain suffers of cystic fibrosis and has two new lungs transplanted. So far so good. 

But a good five months after the operation, the woman dies of what is called pneumonia. The woman had had two lung transplants from a donor who had smoked for 30 years.  

Apart from the fact that the health authorities make excuses and point out that organ recipients can't expect brand new organs, this may have been a medical test of how long such a well-smoked lung might last. Terrible like that.
