When it comes to cancer, we talk about “cancer” discoloration and how to diagnose it. This is what most people are concerned about. But if we pay more attention to our bodily changes, we can find these problems and have them treated in time with help from doctors. Only then can we avoid much harm from cancer to our bodies. Symptoms of colorectal cancer vary at different stages. This article will explain some early symptoms and manifestations.
Early Symptoms of Cancer
1. Change in toilet habits: alternating between constipation and diarrhea. Simultaneously, because of stimulation from mucus and toxins secreted from the tumors, normal physiological functions of the intestines will be affected. This results in increasing bowel movements from one to multiple times a day. Oftentimes, there will be a feeling of endless stool.
2. Abdominal discomfort, dull pain, or bloating: patients with colorectal cancer often experience these due to intestinal dysfunction or obstruction. Pain is generally persistent, mostly concentrated in the middle and lower abdomen with varying severity—mostly dull or swollen pain and gradually worsening.
3. Unexplained anemia or weight loss: often presented as systemic symptoms, such as fever of unknown cause, accompanied by fatigue.
4. Symptoms such as abdominal masses: manifestations of colorectal cancer vary from person to person. Some, especially those of lesser weight, may present a lump in the abdomen. At this point, the patient can feel it themselves. The lump is usually fixed and does not feel painful to the touch.
The key to triumphing over colorectal cancer is early detection. Using corresponding screening methods, diagnosis and treatment can move forward, effectively reducing morbidity and mortality. Colonoscopy has its limitations, such as a dearth of resources. Instead, using convenient and reliable blood gene testing, patients can be screened and enriched to determine who is amongst the high-risk population, and whether they should undergo colonoscopy. This way, medical resources can be allocated more appropriately.
HymonBio adopts the innovative ECS high-efficiency magnetic bead extraction technology and nanobody molecular lock technology, which greatly improves detection sensitivity and specificity. It uses a non-invasive blood test, allowing for easier sampling, and effectively decreases the public’s fear of possible colonoscopy and time wasted, while also increasing screening compliance.
