1. Why can ** become a "demon mirror" for cancer
*As the largest organ of the human body, it is an external reflection of the state of the internal organs. When there is a problem with the body,** it often shows corresponding changes. In particular, during the development of some cancers, ** may present a unique presentation.
Pan Zhanhe, deputy chief physician of the Department of Oncology, Zhongshan Hospital, Xiamen UniversityIndicates that some cancers don't show symptoms only at the primary site because cancer cells can spread throughout the body through metastasis. Therefore,Cancer can produce many different symptoms throughout the body.
Caused by cancer**Symptoms can be divided into 3 types:Some are caused by the spread of the tumor to **, others due to direct invasion or penetration of the tumor into **, and some are secondary symptoms due to some metabolic or functional abnormalities caused by the tumor on **.
Therefore, careful observation and timely attention to changes** are of great significance to detect the early signs of physical health conditions, especially cancer.
In general,There are two types of cancer: primary cancer, which is cancerous in itself, and metastatic cancer, which is more than a lot of visceral cancer.
Among them,Females with **metastatic cancerCommon primary cancers include colon, ovarian, cervical, and breast cancers. WhileMen with **metastatic cancerCommon primary cancers mainly include oral squamous cell carcinoma, liver cancer, lung cancer and colorectal cancer.
2. ** There are 5 kinds of abnormalities, and you should be alert to cancer

When the liver is damaged, its ability to secrete bilirubin is reduced, resulting in the inability of bilirubin in the body to be excreted in time, and then reflux into the blood, causing jaundice.
2.Purple dots appear
Large areas** appear with purple spots, which appear as purpura, which may be caused by:Platelet abnormalities caused by lymphoma, myeloma, leukemia, etc. When the number of platelets decreases dramatically, it is easy to lead to the occurrence of purpura.
3.Moles change
* on, especiallyToes, soles, palms and other areas that are prone to frictionMoles that appear or other colored moles that develop can become cancerous and transform into malignant melanoma if they are chronically irritated over a long period of time.
At the same time, if you find that the black mole is rapidly enlarging in a short period of time, stinging or itching, regardless of whether the surface is ulcerated, it is important to seek medical attention in time to strive for the opportunity.
4.It's very itchy
IfThere is no history of pruritus, but there is a sudden onset of widespread and unbearable itchingRegardless of climate change, it is ineffective with any antipruritic medication, and no significant changes are usually visible on the surface, which may be a precursor to the presence of a tumour near the itching site.
For example, itchy nostrils may be a specific manifestation of a brain tumor, while itching may be a manifestation of bowel cancer.
5.A sudden increase in body hair
The growth of body hair is affected by male hormone secretion, genes, drugs, and other factors. IfA sudden increase in body hair in a short period of timeIt is also necessary to be alert to potential tumors, such as ovarian tumors, pineal tumors, adrenal adenomas, hypothalamic and adenohypophysitary tumors, and adenohypophysis eosinophilic adenomas.
