Symptoms of early renal cell carcinoma
summary
My cousin was diagnosed with kidney cancer last year. Fortunately, he was still in the early stage. It's really lucky. My aunt asked me to check more information about renal cancer on the Internet, and then go back to popularize science for her. Now I'll explore the symptoms of early renal cancer with you.
Symptoms of early renal cell carcinoma
First: no obvious symptoms: at present, more than 40% of renal cancer is found by chance due to physical examination or other reasons, without obvious symptoms or signs, and the detection rate is increasing year by year, most of them are early lesions, and the prognosis is good. Regular physical examination is very important
Secondly: hematuria is one of the most obvious and easily found symptoms in the early stage of renal cell carcinoma, because it can be seen by naked eye. Hematuria is often painless intermittent attack, intermittent period will change with the development of the disease, low back pain is a common symptom of early renal cancer, mostly due to the growth of the tumor swelling to the renal capsule, the majority of pain is dull pain, the pain is mostly confined to the waist.
Third: systemic manifestations: 10% - 40% of the patients have paraneoplastic syndrome, including hypertension, anemia, weight loss, cachexia, fever, polycythemia, abnormal liver function, hypercalcemia, hyperglycemia, increased erythrocyte sedimentation rate, neuromuscular disease, amyloidosis, galactorrhea, abnormal coagulation mechanism, etc. Varicocele or dilatation of abdominal wall veins were found in about 2% - 3% cases.
