Crayfish. The symptoms of this disease are so diverse that it is very difficult to combine them into any system.
They depend on the location of the tumor, the characteristics of the affected organ and its role in the body. Nevertheless, doctors can still diagnose
cancer, the symptoms of which can sometimes be repeated in different patients. But in order to understand the appearance of what signs may indicate cancer, it is worthwhile to figure out what exactly is called cancer. This is the popular name for a tumor that develops from
epithelial tissue. In its image, it often resembles cancer or crab, and therefore got its name. As a tumor develops, it can not only infect certain tissues, “inoculate” other organs with malignant cells, but also destroy health in general. How to determine cancer? Symptoms (photo) can be divided into systemic, affecting the entire body, and local, destroying only the affected organs. However, it should be remembered: both those and other signs are necessarily shown.
Crayfish. Symptoms
Local or local symptoms are those that can be detected visually (with and without devices) or with palpation. Which of the local manifestations indicates cancer? Symptoms of obstruction, in which the tumor closes the lumen in the hollow organs, compression. Sometimes education can be felt, establish the place in which it appeared, determine the boundaries of the lesion. Sometimes (for example, with cancer of the esophagus or brain), palpation is powerless. It often happens that the presence of a tumor is established too late: the cancer may initially develop asymptomatically. That is why it is so important to pay attention to the primary signs that appear at the very beginning of the disease. How can cancer be suspected? Symptoms of it may be as follows:
- Fatigue, progressive weakness, sometimes dizziness, cramps, loss of consciousness.
- Increase or decrease in temperature.
- Weight loss.
- Discomfort in the affected organs.
- Violation of metabolic processes.
- Change in the condition of hair, skin, nails.
As you can see, the symptoms are similar to a hundred other diseases. That is why it is important to undergo an examination at least once a year in order to establish the presence / absence of cancer. Today, cancer is cured if it is discovered on time.
Stages of cancer. Symptoms and predictions
Grade 1 cancer is also called damage. At this time, either the patient’s DNA is irreversibly affected by external factors, or the cells mutate for any reason. At this time, there is usually no pain or discomfort, only special examinations can show the presence of the disease. Stage 2 - germination. Mutated cells begin to multiply uncontrollably and quickly. Stage 3 - metastasis.
Affected cells begin to “sow” healthy organs quickly. Typically, cancer detected in these stages can be cured. Stage 4 - relapse. Cancerous tumors form in all "seeded" organs. There is a fact that metastases are called uninitiated in the intricacies of medicine. If the patient consulted a doctor at this stage, then in the vast majority of cases it is impossible to cure him.
Prevention
Cancer prevention is simple : once a year, consult a doctor and take blood tests for tumor markers. Modern medicine is able to predict not only the presence of cancer, but also to determine how much the patient is prone to this disease.
