C.A.U.T.I.O.N. - The Seven Cardinal Symptoms of Cancer

 

Cancer in the beginning will have no symptoms, but in time, a malignant tumor will increase its size enough to make it detectable. As it grows, it can enter blood vessels, leading to bleeding; put pressure on nerves and create pain; or mess up a body organ or system's normal functioning.

 

The sooner a cancer is spotted, the higher the treatment's success rate will be. That is why it is important to know what symptoms at discussed at www.safesymptoms.com or bodily changes are associated with the disease.

 

Here are the seven cardinal symptoms of cancer presented as the acronym, CAUTION, to help you remember:

 

C              Change in bowel or bladder movement (usually a sign of colorectal cancer

 

A             A sore that takes too long to heal, if at all (may be oral or skin cancer if the sore is

                found in the mouth or on the skin)

 

U             Unusual discharges or bleeding (any bleeding from any body part, such as the bladder,

                rectum or vagina, could be a sign of prostate, colorectal or cervical cancer)

 

T              Thickened breast tissue or any lump (if lump is found on a breast or testicle, it could

                be caused by breast or testicular cancer)

 

I               Indigestion or difficulty swallowing (may be throat, mouth, esophagus or stomach

                cancer)

 

O             Obvious changes in the shape or form of a mole or wart (the most usual symptom of

                skin cancer)

 

 

N             Nagging cough (if a cough persists for at least four weeks, it could indicate lung or

                throat cancer)

 

After knowing these seven cardinal symptoms of cancer, your chances of detecting the disease early on, whether in yourself or a family member, will be much better. However, not all the time do the above-indicated symptoms confirm the existence of cancer. Only an experienced doctor do that. If you noticed any of these problem sings in your own body or that of a loved one, consult with your physician right away. You can also learn more about health by checking out the post at https://www.youtube.com/user/TheBodyworkouts.

 

If you have any seemingly cancer-indicative symptoms that could not be connected to any other cause, and such symptoms have persisted for no less than two or three weeks, you should arrange for a medical exam. If you do have cancer, you have a better chance of overpowering the disease with early diagnosis and treatment.

 

Should you go to an oncologist immediately? Usually, you will have to see your family doctor first, and he will give you a round of tests that will produce results relevant to a cancer diagnosis. If such initial tests give your family doctor reason to suspect the presence of cancer, he will refer you to the specialist from https://www.safesymptoms.com.
