The occurrence of these symptoms in the body may have advanced cancer and pay attention to early intervention.
What are the symptoms of advanced cancer 01 continuous emaciation most advanced cancer patients are quite emaciated, most patients will have no appetite, especially cancer patients of the digestive system, because the tumor in the body continues to grow with the development of the disease, as a result of being unable to eat for a long time will lead to weight loss, 02 unimaginable pain in the late stage of cancer due to tumor compression of nerves, patients will be accompanied by pain 03 severe infection this is one of the most common symptoms of advanced cancer patients, cancer patients need to receive some treatment with great side effects in order to prolong their lives. Patients' own immune system is also damaged to varying degrees, the immunity of cancer patients is low, patients are easily infected by pathogenic bacteria and lead to septic shock resulting in death. 04 recurrent fever this is a common symptom of cancer patients in the late stage. 05 when trauma occurs, more than the blood flow of cancer cells will gradually invade the body's immune system, as long as the patient's body is slightly bruised or injured.
Malignant tumor is a systemic disease, which does little harm to the human body in the early stage, and generally has no particularly obvious symptoms, resulting in some people ignoring it and not going to the hospital for examination. In the middle and late stages of cancer, it erodes the patient's body like a demon, and the body changes differently, with some commonalities and some unique symptoms.
What are the symptoms of advanced cancer?
01
Keep wasting away
Most patients with advanced cancer are quite emaciated, because the tumor cells consume too much nutrition, the body will be relatively weak, the body can hardly see any fat. Most patients will have no appetite, can only eat a small amount of food or can not eat, especially cancer patients with cancer of the digestive system, such as liver cancer, colorectal cancer, gastric cancer, etc., because the tumors in the body continue to grow with the development of the disease, will cause digestive tract blockage, this situation is easy to cause can not eat normally, will show what to eat what to vomit, because unable to eat for a long time will lead to weight loss, weight loss.
02
Unimaginable pain
In the late stage of cancer, because the tumor oppresses the nerves, the patient will be accompanied by pain, and it is usually more difficult to improve on its own. as the disease develops, the pain will gradually become unbearable, day and night. What's more, general painkillers at this stage don't work any more.
03
Severe infection
This is one of the most common symptoms of patients with advanced cancer, who need to receive some treatments with great side effects in order to prolong their lives. While killing cancer cells, the patient's own immune system is also damaged to varying degrees, especially after the stage of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, the immunity of cancer patients is low. patients are vulnerable to septic shock caused by pathogenic bacteria and lead to death.
04
Recurrent fever
This is a common symptom of cancer patients in the late stage, and there are many causes of fever, such as bacterial and viral infections, connective tissue disease, or functional fever.
05
When there is a trauma, there will be no stop bleeding.
Cancer cells will gradually invade the body's immune system. After red blood cells are invaded by cancer, patients with minor abrasions or injuries will cause blood flow, and bruises will not heal in a short period of time. This is a manifestation of abnormal blood coagulation, especially similar symptoms in patients with liver cancer, indicating that the liver has been occupied by cancer cells, to the stage of spread and metastasis.
06
Unable to eat
Cancer cells spread, metastasize and destroy these tissues and organs to other tissues and organs of the patient through infiltration, blood or lymph. Under the rapid erosion of cancer cells, the pain of cancer patients is aggravated, various organs and functions of the body are greatly weakened, various complications of cancer may also break out, and other reasons make cancer patients lose their appetite and it is difficult to eat normally, especially advanced cancer patients with canceration of diet, digestion, absorption and other organs.
07
Painless mass appears on the body surface
If a mass suddenly appears on the surface of the body and does not have any of the same symptoms, it is likely to be caused by the metastasis and spread of lymphatic cancer, especially in the neck and clavicle.
08
Multiple organ failure
Multiple organ metastasis occurs in the late stage of cancer, such as lung, heart, kidney, craniocerebral and other parts, resulting in multiple organ failure, such as respiratory failure, heart failure, acute renal damage and so on. The patient may fall into a lethargic state or even fail to wake up, gradually lowering blood pressure and weakening breathing, leading to the end of life.
Some cancers are highly malignant and develop faster and faster in the later stage, and it is difficult to treat them. If you do not meet a good doctor to receive the correct treatment, people will soon decline. So the timing of treatment is very important, some tumors develop to advanced stage and transfer to many organs, then the treatment is more difficult, so early detection and early treatment is a key.
For patients with advanced cancer, the goal of short-term treatment is to first relieve symptoms, improve or improve the quality of life, and at the same time control the further development of cancer as much as possible, even if it can be stabilized; at the same time, cancer is significantly reduced or disappeared, it is the best policy; even if it is not stable for the time being, it is fortunate that the development trend slows down obviously, and with one more effort, it is likely to be stable. The long-term pursuit, of course, is to further control or slow down the development of cancer, improve the quality of life, and prolong survival time.
