Many times we ignore the normal changes or symptoms in the body. But this change can lead to major illness going forward. Shortness of breath, fatigue, weight loss, hair loss are some of the symptoms that we stop thinking as normal and associate them with disturbances in our lifestyle or seasonal changes. We do something similar with cancer symptoms.

It is not wrong to say that it is human tendency not to take any symptom seriously until it becomes serious. Cancer is also a serious disease that starts with normal symptoms. There are many types of cancer that are difficult to recognize. Let's know about the early symptoms of cancer.

What does WHO say?

Cancer is another leading cause of death globally. According to a report published by WHO, currently 10 million new cases of cancer are reported worldwide every year. According to WHO, one in every 10 Indians in India is likely to develop cancer in their lifetime and one in 15 people die from cancer. A WHO report has revealed shocking statistics from India.

Early symptoms of cancer

If you are losing weight without any reason, you should see a doctor immediately. If you have lost 4-5 kg ​​or more in the last few days then you should be alert as in rare cases it may be the first sign of cancer.

2. Appearing dense in the body

According to a report, if a sudden discharge occurs in the body, ignoring it can be dangerous. This same dense gradually takes the form of cancer or cyst in the body. Often the abscess will heal on its own, but if it becomes painful or bleeds, consult a doctor immediately.

The skin is the largest part of the body and can be affected in many ways. Jaundice is a symptom that can indicate cancer. Contact your doctor if you experience any symptoms of jaundice.

Stages of cancer

Cancer is divided into five stages. The stage of the cancer tells you how serious the cancer is.

1. Stage 0 – It indicates that you do not have cancer. However, there are some abnormal cells in the body that develop into cancer.

2. Stage 1 (Stage I)- In this stage the tumor is small and the cancer cells have spread to only one area.

3. Stage 1 and 2 (Stage II and III)- In the first and second stage, the size of the tumor increases and the cancer cells start spreading to nearby organs and lymph nodes.

4. Stage 4 (Stage IV)- This is the last and very dangerous stage of cancer which is also known as metastatic cancer. In this stage the cancer starts spreading to other parts of the body.
