Most people hear the word cancer as a deadly disease.
However, during the 1970s, the survival rate for cancer patients has tripled, thanks partly to advances in diagnosis.
And, in fact, favorable outcomes are currently possible for most cancer patients. When the cancer is diagnosed before it has developed too much. The problem is that many times, because we don’t give enough importance to the doctor, we overlook some symptoms that may be very important for early diagnosis.
According to a study conducted by Cancer Research UK, more than half of Britons experienced one of the symptoms that indicate the presence of cancer at some time, but only 2% thought they could suffer from this disease and more than one person completely ignored it and did not go to the doctor.
“Catrina Whitaker, a researcher at University College London and lead author of the study, said:” “People think we shouldn’t encourage people to have hypochondria.” That is, we should not become such that we keep thinking about our health and fitness all the time and keep ourselves busy with the same work, but we definitely have a complaint against those who shy away from going to the doctor. Because they believe, they will waste your time and waste the health system and their resources in vain.
“We have to send the message that if you have symptoms that don’t go away, especially those that are considered warning signs, you shouldn’t ignore them, you should go to the doctor and get help,” “Whitaker said.”
Here are 10 common symptoms of cancer, which you should not ignore, according to the American Cancer Society
