People who are "targeted" by cancer may have these manifestations...

Many cancers have almost no obvious symptoms in the early stages, and once the symptoms are obvious, they often reach the middle and advanced stages, and the best time for treatment has been lost.

The best way to deal with cancer is to detect it early in the cancer, and the sooner it is treated and controlled, the better the efficacy.

Therefore, it is very important to catch the clues of cancer in time.

What alarms should not be ignored by the body? How can cancer be diagnosed early? Let's take a look at it today.

People who are "targeted" by cancer

What are the possible manifestations of the hands and feet?

"Liver Palm"

In the part of the palm of the hand, there will be congestion and redness, that is, the "liver palm". The liver is an organ without pain nerves, and if symptoms such as palmar and spider moles appear, it may mean that the body has liver diseases, such as hepatitis B, cirrhosis, and even liver cancer.

Pestle Finger

The end of the finger is swollen, and the medical term is called a clubbed finger, also known as a mallet finger, a drumstick finger. Some lung cancer patients develop clubbing symptoms in the early and middle stages.

The clubbing finger is not synonymous with lung cancer! You can't "see the finger to recognize cancer", but you have to be vigilant.

Clubbing refers to more related to cardiopulmonary function. Chronic diseases of the respiratory, cardiovascular, and digestive systems may present with clubbing.

Changes in the skin and nails of the limbs

1. If there is an abnormal bulge on the skin of the limbs, and there is secretion flowing, or there is an ulcer wound that does not heal for a long time, it is necessary to be vigilant against the occurrence of skin cancer.

2. If there is an asymmetrical shape, irregular edges of the mole, or uneven color, feel pain, itching and become larger in a short period of time, you should be more careful, there may be a risk of deterioration, be wary of the possibility of melanoma.

3. If there is a "black line" in the skin under the nails of the fingers (toes), and the pigment range expands rapidly or the color invades the extrahythroid skin, it may also be melanoma.

Are cold hands and feet prone to cancer?

People with cold hands and feet on the Internet are prone to cancer, which makes many people scared.

In fact, there are many reasons for cold hands and feet, such as low basal metabolic rate, decreased blood reserve capacity, poor body temperature regulation, poor peripheral circulation, etc., which is not directly related to cancer.

If you just feel cold in your hands and feet and not feel uncomfortable in other parts of your body, you don't have to be too nervous. However, if the weather is warm or you feel cold hands and feet, you should pay attention to it, and it is recommended to go to the hospital for further examination to find the reason.

Cancer cells are "most afraid" of regular physical examinations

Many cancers have no obvious symptoms in the early stages, and even if there are abnormalities, they are easy to ignore, so it is a good habit to check the body regularly, especially for high-risk groups, such as those with a family history of cancer.

Anti-cancer physical examination is different from the general physical examination, and different high-risk groups of cancer have different physical examination methods to choose from.

Like what:

Lung cancer: low-dose spiral CT of the chest can be selected.

Liver cancer: color ultrasound + AFP detection.

Stomach cancer: gastroscopy + Helicobacter pylori examination.

Esophageal cancer: gastroscopy.

Colorectal cancer: colonoscopy + fecal occult blood test.

Breast cancer: color ultrasound, mammography.

Cervical cancer: TCT + HPV test.

Ovarian cancer: CA125+ ultrasound (transvaginal ultrasound for married women).

Thyroid cancer: color ultrasound.

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma: Epstein-Barr virus antibodies, nasopharyngeal mirror.

Kidney cancer: color ultrasound + urinary routine.

Prostate cancer: PSA examination + ultrasound.

For their own health, it is recommended to check for diseases early, diagnose them early, and treat them early.
