Early Warning Signs Of Cancer That Appear On Skin

Cancer is probably the most dreaded disease of mankind. Once a person is diagnosed to have the “Big C,” a surge of fear, pain and sadness will surely envelope the entire being.

Although chemotherapy and radiation therapy are available as treatments, it could only do so much. In reality, no definitive cure has been found. Not yet. So right now, the best cure is prevention.

It pays to know the early signs and symptoms of cancer because the disease becomes more difficult to manage during the latter phases. Here we compile the early clinical manifestations of different kinds of cancer to help and guide you.

Bleeding and bruises may mean that the bone marrow, which produces blood cell types, is not in a god state.

This clinical manifestation may signal leukemia.

Having swollen face may mean a lot of things in the medical field. It may possibly mean lung cancer because as water fills up the lungs due to the tumor, it may spread onto the face, leaving it swollen.

Skin lumps may mean that the lymphatic system may not be draining properly. So those little bumps and lumps? Have it checked.
