The Chosun Ilbo’s medical YouTube content ‘If You Do This, You’ll Get Better’, which introduces the prevention and treatment of chronic diseases for Koreans, has been completely revamped for spring. The studio was renovated with a comfortable and bright atmosphere, and announcer Bae So-bin joined as a new face to host along with our medical reporter, Dr. Kim Cheol-joong. Announcer Bae said, “I will work hard to act as a messenger who asks questions on their behalf,” and that she will prioritize the perspectives of viewers, not medical experts.
In celebration of the reorganization, If You Do This, You’ll Get Better will be holding a special feature on the five major cancers that Koreans are prone to: thyroid cancer, colon cancer, breast cancer, lung cancer, and stomach cancer. In the first reorganized broadcast released on the 13th, an in-depth analysis was conducted on breast cancer, the number one cancer in women. Won-sik Han, a breast cancer surgery expert and professor of breast and endocrine surgery at Seoul National University Hospital, and professor Lee Gyeong-hoon of the Department of Hematology and Oncology at Seoul National University Hospital, an expert in breast cancer chemotherapy, appeared and easily explained breast cancer diagnosis methods, treatments, and risk of recurrence, etc.

Breast cancer is a representative disease in developed countries. It is common in the West, where high-calorie diets and frequent drinking and smoking are common, but the number of patients has been rapidly increasing in Korea as well. Professor Won-sik Han said, “The later people born are, the more risk factors for breast cancer they have,” adding, “The number of breast cancer patients will continue to increase in the future.”
It is difficult to self-diagnose breast cancer. Professor Han said, “It has nothing to do with chest pain, and when the cancer is deep rather than on the surface, it is difficult to feel,” adding, “If you feel a lump in your chest, it is right to go to the hospital right away.” In particular, if you feel a hard, painless lump that is not present in the opposite breast and does not change with the menstrual cycle, you should suspect breast cancer. Breast cancer has a good treatment prognosis. The 5-year survival rate is over 90%. Professor Gyeong-Hoon Lee said, “95% of breast cancer patients receive surgery, excluding the terminal stage,” and added, “The recurrence rate with surgery is only about 5%.” Part 2 of Breast Cancer, which will be released on the 20th, deals with breast cancer prevention methods.
