Symptoms of cancer

summary

Some time ago, my mother told me that an elder who was very close to me was found to have a tumor, so I went to visit him with my mother in my spare time, chatted a lot, and had some understanding of his condition. Today, let me talk about the early symptoms of tumor.

Symptoms of cancer

The symptoms of each kind of tumor are different. If it is a patient with colorectal cancer, there are no obvious symptoms in the early stage of colorectal cancer. At the earliest stage, there may be abdominal distension, discomfort and dyspepsia like symptoms, and then there will be changes in defecation habits, such as increased stool times, diarrhea or constipation, and abdominal pain before defecation. Later, there will be mucinous stool or mucopurulent bloody stool. Due to tumor ulceration, blood loss and toxin absorption, it can often lead to anemia, fatigue, emaciation, edema and other manifestations.

It is the most common chief complaint of tumor patients, which is often found by the patients inadvertently. If there is no improvement after 1-2 weeks of anti-inflammatory treatment, the mass will continue to develop and should be suspected as a tumor. It is difficult to find the mass of deep organs in the body cavity. When inquiring the medical history, we should pay attention to the symptoms of compression, obstruction or destruction of organs caused by the mass. The tumor is usually painless at the beginning, but the tumor around the nerve trunk oppresses the adjacent nerve.

Lung cancer patients often have self-conscious symptoms, often blood sputum, chest pain or varying degrees of dyspnea. The tumor that invades or oppresses bronchus, also often appear cough. Fever: the main complaint of fever is malignant lymphoma (especially Hodgkin's disease), liver cancer, lung cancer, osteosarcoma, gastric cancer, colon cancer, kidney cancer, pancreatic cancer or advanced cancer. Some cancer patients have fever of unknown origin.
