Most types of cancer are not painful during the early stages of affliction but are manifested by way of signs and symptoms that require medical attention.

Having annual physical checkups with a health clinic allows for early detection, which in turn allows for early treatment if the tumor is benign; or removal if the tumor is malignant, to prevent the disease from growing and spreading throughout the body.
Where a health clinic is not equipped to treat cancer, the attending physician will recommend further tests and screenings, and refer the patient to the proper medical professional who will recommend the appropriate treatment and procedure.

What Causes the Development of Cancer

Cancer is a disease that changes the way genes control the way cells function when they grow and divide. There are two types of tumors: cancerous and benign. The cancerous or malignant tumors grow and spread through different parts of the body. Benign tumors, on the other han, al grows but will not spread.

Cancer that isn’t treated or removed continues to grow, which will lead to more genetic changes.

Signs and Symptoms Indicating Genetic Changes that Could Lead to Cancer

Depending on how much and how big the size of the cancer affecting a person, and where it’s located, the signs and symptoms of the disease also varies. When the cancer has already metastasized, the symptoms will likely appear in various parts of the body.
Once the cancer grows enough to push blood vessels, nerves, and nearby organs, it cause the emergence of various symptoms . Extreme fatigue, weight loss and fever are the most common symptoms as the cancer cells take up most of the body’s energy supply.

In some instances, the cancer lets off some kind of substance that can affect the body’s way of generating energy. Not only that, it can also prompt the immune system to trigger reactions that will bring about other symptoms or signs, such as:
