Carcinogens You Should Know! For Your Safety

The causes of cancer vary among individuals, depending on factors or “carcinogens” that enter the body. Carcinogens are substances that increase the likelihood of developing cancer. The more exposure to these substances, the higher the ‘risk’ of developing cancer, but not everyone exposed will necessarily get cancer.

The World Health Organization classifies carcinogens into 4 groups: 1, 2A, 2B, and 3, ranked from highest to lowest carcinogenic potential. Common carcinogens include cigarette smoke, air pollution, combustion fumes, vehicle exhaust, pesticides, and processed meats. Cigarette smoke is classified as Group 1 carcinogen and poses the highest cancer risk.

Currently, ‘CT scans’ for cancer screening provide detailed cross-sectional images of organs, far more precise than regular X-rays. CT scans are highly valuable for cancer diagnosis and treatment, enabling precise biopsy targeting and improving treatment accuracy and effectiveness.

If residents of Lam Luk Ka are concerned or have risk factors for cancer, they can get a CT scan at Synphaet Lam Luk Ka Hospital to check for abnormalities in body organs and consult with specialists.
