There are over 200 types of cancer. The most common are lung, bladder, breast, prostate, kidney, ovarian, pancreatic, endometrial and colorectal cancers, as well as melanoma and leukemia.
Most of these cancers are diagnosed at an advanced stage and therefore have a low survival rate.
For cancer to be treated effectively, it must be detected at an early stage. That’s why it’s important to pay attention to the first signs and symptoms of this disease. Here are the most common warning signs:
1. Persistent cough and chest pain
Some types of cancer, such as lung cancer and leukemia, can present symptoms similar to those of a cough or bronchitis.
The cough may be recurrent or persistent. Another sign of these cancers is chest pain radiating to the shoulder and down the arm. Furthermore, a persistent or chronic cough, accompanied by hoarseness, can be a sign of thyroid or esophageal cancer.
2. Unusual nodules and lumps
The appearance of unusual nodules and lumps on the abdomen, breasts, groin, testicles, armpits, neck or any other part of the body should be the subject of a medical consultation, especially if these nodules persist for more than three weeks.
The appearance of a lump or swelling in the armpit is one of the most common signs of breast cancer. This type of cancer can also cause unexplained and widespread redness, pain, and swelling of the breast. It is therefore important to pay close attention to this symptom.
3. Abnormal bleeding
