当院で行っている名古屋市の腹部超音波スクリーニング検診の様子を、本日夕方に東海テレビのニュースで報道していただきました😊
人口200万人以上の都市で腹部超音波検査を検診として実施しているのは、名古屋市が全国では初だそうです。本当は名称を膵がん検診としたかったそうですが、膵臓だけでは費用対効果が得られないということで、腹部超音波スクリーニング検査となったと聞いております。
臓器別罹患者数では膵癌は6位ですが、男女合わせての死亡者数は第3位と、見つけにくく、治しにくい厄介な癌となっております😵
なるべく小さい段階で腫瘍を見つけることが肝要となります。自費の検査となりますが、同時に紹介された尿中マイクロRNAを用いた癌リスクスクリーニング検査「miSignal」は当院でも受けることが可能です。是非腹部超音波検査から受けに来て下さいませ！😊
Our clinic was featured on Tokai TV news this evening, covering the abdominal ultrasound screening program conducted by the City of Nagoya 😊
Nagoya is reportedly the first city in Japan with a population of over 2 million to offer abdominal ultrasound as part of a public screening program.
Originally, the program was intended to be named “pancreatic cancer screening,” but since focusing solely on the pancreas would not be cost-effective, it was launched as an “abdominal ultrasound screening” instead.
Although pancreatic cancer ranks 6th in terms of incidence by organ, it is the 3rd leading cause of cancer-related deaths in men and women combined. It is a particularly difficult cancer to detect and treat 😵
That’s why it is crucial to catch tumors at the earliest possible stage.
Although it is a self-funded examination, the program also introduced a cancer risk screening test using urinary microRNA called “miSignal,” which is also available at our clinic.
We encourage you to start with the abdominal ultrasound screening—please feel free to visit us! 😊
