Oncology Hospital :: Cancer Symptoms


Program Q & ACancer is a consequence of a multistage procedure initiating years before the hospital symptoms of the tumour appears.

Carcinogens (agents which induce cells to become malignant) initiate the evolution of a long period of time in which the patient has a cancer without symptoms due to the small number of cells. The period is called pre-hospital.

When the tumour has about one thousand million cells, it produces symptoms to the patients or could be detectable by exploratory diagnostic procedures (x-rays, physical examinations, etc.) due to its size of approximately 1 cm.

Because early-stage cancer symptoms tend to be subtle, they are often mistaken for signs of other, less-threatening diseases. Some symptoms are:

Changes in bowel or bladder habits
A sore that does not heal
Unusual bleeding or discharge
Thickening or a lump in the breast or any other part of the body
Indigestion or difficulty swallowing
An obvious change in a wart or mole
A nagging cough or hoarseness

It is important to discuss these symptoms with your doctor.

If diagnosed early, your chances of surviving cancer are greatly increased.
