Features: Tumors are classified as benign or malignant, and what people commonly refer to as tumors are usually malignant ones, i.e., cancer. This book follows the common usage and also refers to malignant tumors or cancer as tumors or cancer. Benign tumors are generally not a focus of prevention and treatment, as they are not only overall less harmful and have no specific preventable tendencies. Therefore, this book does not delve into them but focuses solely on malignant tumors. Tumors are humanity's nightmare, with their harm increasing day by day, and their incidence and mortality rates continuously rising. Every year, over a million people in China die from tumors, making them a common disease that severely threatens the health and lives of the general public. Although people are already very familiar with tumors, they still retain a high degree of mystery. What exactly are tumors? Under what circumstances do they occur? Can they be prevented? Can they be cured? And which precancerous lesions or precancerous diseases can lead to cancer? These questions are not only highly regarded research topics in the medical field but also concerns that frequently preoccupy the general public and grow increasingly urgent. These issues primarily involve the basic knowledge of precancerous diseases, precancerous lesions, and tumor prevention and treatment. To dispel the confusion surrounding tumors among the general public, this book attempts to make a valuable contribution by promoting and popularizing this basic knowledge. It will systematically and comprehensively introduce the occurrence, development, and prevention of tumors, as well as the relationship between common clinical tumors, precancerous lesions, and precancerous diseases, enabling readers to gain a basic understanding of this serious threat to health. It will further strengthen public awareness of cancer prevention and reinforce the belief that cancer is preventable and curable, avoiding blind fear of cancer. People can prevent tumor occurrence by improving unhealthy lifestyle habits and scientifically and promptly diagnosing and treating precancerous diseases and lesions, thereby gaining a certain degree of initiative in the fight against tumors. Modern research has confirmed that one-third of cancers are preventable. Over thousands of years, through countless efforts by many people, humanity's understanding of cancer has gradually deepened from the intuitive to the rational, revealing many intrinsic connections between precancerous lesions and tumors and accumulating valuable experiences in cancer prevention. As a result, confidence in overcoming tumors has grown. At the same time, the continuous introduction of new research and technologies has equipped humanity with more and more powerful tools to fight cancer, making it possible that, in the near future, overcoming tumors may become a reality. Due to scientific progress and the accumulated knowledge of predecessors, we firmly believe that even ordinary people are not helpless in the face of tumors but have great potential. Understanding the relationship between precancerous diseases and lesions and tumors is the first step in overcoming tumors.
