list the symptoms of cancer?

Answer 1

The symptoms of Cancer depends on the type of cancer and its stage.

Cancer is a progressive disease, and goes through several stages. Each stage may produce a number of symptoms. Some symptoms are produced early and may occur due to a tumor that is growing within an organ or a gland. As the tumor grows, it may press on the nearby nerves, organs and blood vessels. This causes pain and some pressure which may be the earliest warning signs of cancer.

Despite the fact that there are several hundred different types of cancers, producing very different symptoms, the ACS has established the following seven symptoms as possible warning signals of cancer:

- changes in the size, color, or shape of a wart or a mole
- a sore that does not heal
- persistent cough, hoarseness, or sore throat
- a lump or thickening in the breast or elsewhere
- unusual bleeding or discharge
- chronic indigestion or difficulty in swallowing
- any change in bowel or bladder habits

Many other diseases, besides cancer, could produce the same symptoms. However, it is important to have these symptoms checked, as soon as possible, especially if they linger. The earlier a cancer is diagnosed and treated, the better the chance of it being cured. Many cancers such as breast cancer may not have any early symptoms. Therefore, it is important to undergo routine screening tests such as breast self-exams and mammograms.-

Answer 2

Depends on the type and where it is.... the same cancer can cause different symptoms, eg adenocarcinoma in the liver will cause jaundice (yellowing of eyes and skin), pressure atrophy, gastrointestinal upsets including diarrhoea, etc whereas adenocarcinoma in the lungs will cause constant coughing, fluid build up, compression on neighbouring organs such as the heart, etc.

As for the different types, adenocarcinoma in the lung for example will have a slow onset, and the person can go undiagnosed for a little while as the cancer is still progressing and the prognosis is significantly better than say small cell where its like 1% survival past a few months and the symptoms are really sudden.

There are so many other things to list here, i could go on for ever.
