cancer It is a common disease in the world. It occurs when normal cells turn into cancerous cells that multiply and spread. Early detection leads to cancer treatment. In this report, we learn about the early symptoms of cancer that can be detected early and treated, as tomorrow, February 4, is World Cancer Day, according to the website. “Cleveland Clinic.”
What is the difference between a normal cell and a cancer cell?
Normally, cells follow instructions given by genes. Genes set rules that cells must follow, such as when to start growing and when to stop. Cancer cells ignore the rules that normal cells follow:
Normal cells divide and reproduce in a controlled manner. Cancer cells multiply uncontrollably.
Normal cells are programmed to die (apoptosis). Cancer cells ignore these trends.
The normal cells of the solid organs remain in place. All cancer cells are able to move.
Normal cells do not grow as quickly as cancer cells.
How does cancer start in your body?
Cancer begins when one or several genes are mutated and result in cancer cells. These cells create cancerous clusters or tumors. Cancer cells may break away from tumors, using the lymphatic system or bloodstream to travel to other areas of the body. (This is called a metastasis.)
For example, a tumor in your breast may spread to your lungs, making it difficult for you to breathe.
In some types of leukemia, abnormal cells in the bone marrow create abnormal blood cells that multiply uncontrollably
The most common types of cancer include:
Breast cancer: It is the most common type of cancer. It mostly affects women, but about 1% of all breast cancer cases affect men.
Lung cancer: There are two types of lung cancer: non-small cell cancer and small cell lung cancer.
Prostate cancer: This cancer affects 1 in 9 men
Colorectal cancer: Colorectal cancer affects different parts of the digestive system.
-Blood cancers: Leukemia and lymphoma are the most common blood cancers.
Early symptoms of cancer
Cancer is a complex disease. You can have cancer for years without developing symptoms. Other times, cancer may cause noticeable symptoms that get worse very quickly.
Many cancer symptoms are similar to other, less serious diseases. Having certain symptoms does not mean you have cancer. In general, you should talk to your doctor any time there is a change in your body that lasts more than two weeks.
The first symptoms of cancer
Some common early cancer symptoms include:
-Unexplained weight loss.
-Chronic fatigue.
-Persistent pain.
-Fever that often occurs at night.
– Changes in the skin, especially moles that change in shape and size, or the appearance of new moles.
If left untreated, cancer may cause additional symptoms, including:
– Bruising or bleeding more easily.
Lumps or bumps under your skin that don’t go away.
-difficulty breathing.
-Difficulty swallowing.
