Identifying cancer at early stages significantly facilitates the possibility of overcoming it. What symptoms allow one to suspect cancer?
Oncologists named a number of common physiological signals that allow individuals to independently identify the possible onset of cancer, VistaNews reported. In particular, the early stage of cancer is indicated by sudden weight loss, as well as episodes of fever. Attention should also be paid to dizziness, headaches, drowsiness, and increased fatigue, the doctors said.
For many, it may come as a surprise, but signals of an ongoing cancer can sometimes include digestive disorders and diarrhea.
In general, specialists advised to focus on unusual bodily manifestations that are not typical for the individual (for example, night sweats, skin itching).
"The presence of all the mentioned symptoms, both individually and collectively, is not yet a definitive confirmation of the diagnosis. However, it is essential to consult a qualified doctor upon noticing them," noted the researchers.
Recently, American scientists from Johns Hopkins University proposed a theory that most cases of cancer are the result of random errors occurring during cell division when copying DNA. Even a healthy lifestyle is unlikely to make a difference in this case, they established.
At the same time, a certain proportion of the overall mass of cancer diseases is influenced by external factors, the scientists stated.
