在他们有生之年患有癌症：自己翻译后不满的地方

从技术角度来说，科学将在与癌症的对决中获胜。但这并不是对决的全部，相关的数字说明了这一点。

2015年有880万人死于癌症，因癌死亡人数仅次于心脏病。有大约40%的美国人将被告知，在他们有生之年患有癌症。

译文：

面对癌症这类劲敌，人们都对科学突破给予厚望戒烟激活癌细胞，希望有朝一日能够癌症能够被完全治愈。他们的希望并不是毫无根据。近几十年以来，无论是在基因测序还是目标治疗法上，都取得了大量进展，这些进展使得癌症的存活率不断提高。在美国，1970年代时5年为期的存活率由仅为34%，在2016年12月

这个数字增加到了63%，几乎增加了一倍。全美有155万的癌症幸存者，并且在下一个十年内，这一数字讲达到200万。发展中国家也取得了重大进步：在中美和南美的部分地区，在仅仅十年间，前列腺和乳腺癌的存活率大幅增加了20%。

慢性病

译文：

单纯从技术角度看，期待着有一天科技能够把大多数种类的癌症都转化成慢性病，或者彻底治愈癌症。但是与癌症斗争的战场，不仅仅局限于实验室中。其他的战场包括手术台，学校，公共卫生系统和政府部门。而来自这些战场的战报，就没有那么鼓舞人心了。

技术季刊

译文：

先说好消息。如果发现的早，现在很多癌症的治愈率是很高的。1970年代的英国，75%的前列腺癌患者活不过5年，现在80%的患者在确诊之后可以活到5年以上。像肺癌、胰腺癌和脑癌等其他癌症，其发现和治愈则更加困难。但正如我们这期技术季刊的资料显示，（治疗癌症）已经取得了一些进步。

技术的发展诞生了可以在早期通过检测呼吸来确诊癌症的设备，追踪从肿瘤脱落的DNA碎片的血液测试。基因测序使得确定新药物目标变得更容易。

20世纪用于治疗癌症的三部曲-手术、放射和化疗方面的进步仍在持续。放射治疗医师可以利用玛咖射线网来进行治疗。这些网络的交织点可以提供足以杀死肿瘤细胞剂量的射线，并且在射线扫过人体的时候，造成的损害更少。有些新药可以限制向肿瘤细胞供应养分的血管增长；其他药物可以破坏癌症细胞的DNA修复工具包。癌症的破坏不停，科技的进步不止。

译文：

最令人兴奋的是免疫医疗领域，这是仅今年才出现的。人体的免疫细胞有一套类似闸口的机制，这套机制可以被癌细胞激活，首例免疫医疗使闸口失效，同时激活血液中的白细胞去攻击癌细胞。早期的时候，病人身体的一部分，机制，已经长期缓和，相当于采取了治疗了手段。有超过1000个这类医疗实验正在进行，范围涵盖了大量不同种类的癌症。现在甚至可以通过重新编辑基因，重组基因细胞来更好的对抗癌症；上个月，首例这类医疗案例已经在美国实验成功。

译文：

癌症患者没有必要期待未来的治疗手段。癌症的幸存率在发达国家和欠发达国家的差别很大。有些国家，男性的患病死亡率比女性高出很多；而在经济发展水平类似的条件下，幸存率的性格差别并不大--还是都很好？。在美国和加拿大，3种常见癌症的五年幸存率超过70%，德国为64%，英国将近52%。同一个国家内部也存在差异。总体来讲，美国的治疗效果很好，但从结果上看，仍然差别很大。相比白人男性来说，统计所有癌症数据的结果显示，美国黑人男性的死亡率要高出24%；对黑人女性来说，乳腺癌的死亡率比白人高出42%。美国农村确诊癌症后的死亡率比城市更高。

从某种程度上说，国家间的差异也反应了医疗花费的去向：中低收入国家中 一半以上需要放射治疗的患者无法接受治疗。但是，哪怕医疗预算充足也无法保证满意的治疗效果。从医疗占国家GPD的比例来看，冰岛和葡萄牙的费用没有高过英国和丹麦，但过去的研究显示，其多种癌症的治愈率都比后两国要高。

相反，问题的关键在于医疗费用的花费方式，而不是花了多少。比如，有一种治疗乳头瘤病毒（HPV）的疫苗，这种疫苗会导致女性患子宫癌，及头颈部癌症。卢旺达在2011年开始了定期接种疫苗的计划，目标是在2020年前根除子宫癌。（相比之下，）其他国家的医疗政策远没有这么系统化。

译文：

执政者并不是束手无策。关于验证哪种治疗方式（以及治疗组合）最好，还有很多工作要做。英国有总量为130亿英镑（200亿美元）的癌症药物基金，使得患者可以更容易地买到昂贵的癌症新药，但却没有对药效进行评估，错失了重大机会。通过癌症患者注册信息来评估癌症药效和治愈率，能够找到治疗失败的原因。医疗的普及率也很关键：美国关于癌症患者已经立法。最佳治疗方案仍然是预防。2008到2014年期间，对烟草的控制挽救了2200万人（其中很多是癌症患者）。但根据WTO的资料，烟草税收占价格30%以上的国家戒烟激活癌细胞，仅占世界人口总人数的10%。
