1. The clinical manifestations vary with tumor type, location and degree of metastasis. Anemia of digestive tract tumor was found earlier with severe symptoms. It is often associated with bleeding and malnutrition. Anemia is the first symptom of tumor and attracts the attention of doctors. On the contrary, anemia of lung cancer was found late and mild, and the symptoms of anemia were often covered up by the symptoms of the tumor itself. I'm sorry.
