On January 21st, Ryuichi Sakamoto, a famous musician, posted a message on the Internet platform, saying that he had been diagnosed with rectal cancer and had successfully completed the operation and was receiving treatment. Ryuichi Sakamoto said: "In the days to come, I will be born with cancer."

Ryuichi Sakamoto revealed that she suffered from throat cancer in 214, and in the following six years, with the remission of her illness, she gradually returned to normal life. Unfortunately, however, he was diagnosed with rectal cancer again. "I was once depressed. Fortunately, under the care of professional and excellent medical staff, I have successfully completed the operation and am receiving treatment."

In addition to expressing sincere thanks to medical institutions and medical staff, Ryuichi Sakamoto also said that he would not be able to travel long distances due to his current health and the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic. "For the project at hand, I will try my best to complete it while receiving treatment, but it is still possible to cancel some work plans if I have to."

Extended data

Rectal cancer should be found in time:

Rectal cancer is one of the common tumors in the digestive tract, and the cure rate can reach over 9% in the early five years. The key lies in early detection and early treatment. In order to intervene in time, it is important to pay attention to abnormal signals. ?

1. Blood in the stool?

bloody stool is the most common manifestation of rectal cancer, but it is easy to be confused with hemorrhoids. We need to be alert to mucus and dark red bloody stool. If it is abnormal and cannot be judged, we should go to the hospital in time. Anal finger examination or colonoscopy can help determine the cause.

2. Changes in defecation habits?

because the tumor grows in the intestine and stimulates the intestine, the defecation habits of patients will also change. Generally speaking, there is no obvious incentive to increase the number of stools (3 or 4 times a day, but the amount is not much), constipation and diarrhea appear alternately, diarrhea has mucus or endless defecation, and stool becomes thinner.

When it is ruled out that it is caused by external factors such as diet, environmental changes or drug stimulation, and after more than 2 weeks of ordinary treatment, it is fruitless, we should be alert to the possibility of rectal cancer and go to the hospital for investigation in time. ?

In addition, rectal cancer may have discomfort such as abdominal mass (hard and pushable) and dull abdominal pain (paroxysmal), but it is also easily confused with other diseases. Therefore, besides paying attention to its own abnormal manifestations, regular physical examination and screening can further help us prevent rectal cancer.
