Before Cancer Reaches Stage 4: 10 Warning Signs You Should Not Ignore, According to WHO, NCI and ACS

-
Image
  Cancer Form By Victor Olubiye Different cancers affect the body in different ways, while some may produce no noticeable symptoms in their early stages. Health authorities therefore stress the importance of paying attention to unusual changes and seeking appropriate medical evaluation rather than trying to diagnose cancer from symptoms alone. The World Health Organization says cancers detected and treated early are more likely to respond to treatment, with a greater chance of survival. It also distinguishes early diagnosis from screening: early diagnosis involves investigating symptoms in people who already have them, while screening aims to identify certain cancers or precancerous changes before symptoms appear. The US National Cancer Institute and American Cancer Society similarly identify several changes that can occur with cancer, while warning that most of these symptoms can also be caused by other illnesses or non-cancerous conditions. Here are 10 warning signs that should n...
