What symptoms will the body have before cancer spreads? What are the treatments? Radiation therapy, chemotherapy and faith

In recent years, cancer seems to be more and more prevalent, and everyone from the elderly to teenagers seems to have become the target group of cancer.

The current status of cancer development has attracted widespread attention. According to the "2018 Global Cancer Statistics" published by the American Cancer Society's "Clinical Cancer Journal", there were 18.1 million new cancer cases and 9.6 million cancer deaths in 2018. China had 3.804 million new cancer cases, accounting for 21.0% of the world's new cancer cases, and 2.296 million cancer deaths, accounting for 23.9% of the world's cancer deaths. The top five cancers in terms of global incidence are lung cancer, breast cancer, colorectal cancer, prostate cancer and gastric cancer. The top five cancers in terms of global mortality are lung cancer, colorectal cancer, gastric cancer, liver cancer and breast cancer.

The most common cancers in my country include lung cancer, breast cancer, stomach cancer, liver cancer, colorectal cancer, esophageal cancer, cervical cancer, thyroid cancer, etc. In recent years, the incidence of lung cancer, breast cancer and colorectal cancer has shown a significant upward trend, while the incidence of liver cancer, stomach cancer and esophageal cancer remains high.

The incidence of cancer in China's population over 30 years old is rising rapidly, with the highest number of cases occurring in people over 60 years old.

What exactly is cancer? How does it develop and spread? What symptoms will appear in the body? Understanding Cancer

Malignant tumors, also known as cancer, are a general term for more than 100 related diseases. Cancer develops when cells in the body mutate and continue to divide, out of control. All organs in the body are made up of cells. Cells grow and divide to meet the body's needs, and this orderly process keeps people healthy. However, if cells continue to divide, these extra cells form a tumor. Malignant tumor cells can invade and damage nearby tissues and organs.

There are many factors that lead to cancer, but they can be divided into three main categories:

1. Physical carcinogens, such as X-rays and ionizing radiation;

2. Chemical carcinogens, such as nitrite (usually found in pickled vegetables or overnight dishes) and aflatoxin (produced by Aspergillus flavus in moldy food);

3. Viral carcinogens, such as hepatitis B virus, herpes virus, and HPV virus.

Generally speaking, cancer patients have many and complex symptoms.

Early signs of cancer: Regular physical examinations are a good way to detect tumors early. But you should also know some symptoms associated with cancer: changes in bowel and bladder habits, wounds that don't heal for a long time, painless, hard lumps in the breast or other parts of the body, indigestion or difficulty swallowing, noticeable changes in warts or moles, or irritating coughs or hoarseness. Having these symptoms is not necessarily a sign of cancer, they can also be caused by other common diseases. But it is important not to wait until you feel pain to see a doctor if you have any of these symptoms. Early cancer is usually painless.

(1) Unexplained weight loss, weakness, irregular upper abdominal pain, decreased appetite, especially aversion to meat.

(2) Women who are not pregnant or breastfeeding have nipple discharge or can squeeze out liquid.

(3) A lump or swelling that gradually increases in size in any part of the body, such as the breast, neck, or abdomen.

(4) Dry cough, blood in sputum, chest tightness and pain, which cannot be cured after long-term treatment.

(5) Women who are middle-aged or older may have a small amount of vaginal bleeding after sexual intercourse, or irregular vaginal bleeding, or may have their periods again after several years of amenorrhea, with a significant increase in vaginal discharge.

(6) Gradually worsening jaundice and epigastric mass without abdominal pain.

(7) The liver enlarges rapidly and is accompanied by pain in the liver area.

(8) Unexplained painless hematuria.

(9) Skin ulcers cannot heal for a long time.

(10) A black mole suddenly grows larger, accompanied by burning, itching, ulceration, bleeding, pain, or hair loss on the mole.

(11) Recurrent fever and persistent tooth bleeding, subcutaneous hemorrhage and progressive anemia.

(12) Recurrent high fever of unknown cause.

(13) White spots appear on the oral mucosa, female vulva, or male penis glans, which quickly expand and cause burning and itching.

(14) Progressive weakness of both lower limbs, paresthesia, movement disorders, or sometimes incontinence.

(15) Fractures of large bones such as the femur and humerus without obvious external force.

(16) When eating or swallowing, there is a feeling of foreign body obstruction or tingling behind the sternum, or a sense that food is passing slowly.

(17) Nasal congestion, frequent minor nosebleeds or blood in the nasal discharge, accompanied by migraine, dizziness, tinnitus, and swollen lymph nodes in the front and back area below the earlobe on the upper neck.

(18) Changes in bowel habits, such as alternating diarrhea and constipation, bloody stools, or stools becoming thinner and flatter.

(19) Gradually worsening headache, accompanied by sudden onset of transient visual disturbances and vomiting.

(20) Adolescents experience severe pain or swelling in the elbow or knee joints, which is not responsive to anti-rheumatic drugs or antibiotics.

So, what symptoms will appear in the body during the cancer spread stage? First, we need to know why cancer spreads.

First: Surgery:

Patients with malignant tumors (cancer) will bleed a lot during surgery, and the cancer cells stimulated by the surgery can reach the highest level of activity. During surgery, a large number of cancer cells enter the blood, and the blood circulates throughout the human body. The cancer cells that enter the blood will invade various parts of the human body, which is equivalent to sowing cancer cells throughout the body. This is what people often say: If a cancer patient has undergone surgery, once the disease relapses, it will be difficult to treat and death is inevitable. This is the direct reason for the large-scale metastasis of cancer cells in cancer patients after surgery.

Second, chemotherapy:

Chemotherapy drugs are chemical drugs with high toxicity and strong acidity. If a little bit of it touches the human skin, it will immediately rot. The hospital gave patients with malignant tumors several courses of chemotherapy, which corroded and melted the fibers and muscles on the malignant tumors. Therefore, the CT report showed that the tumors had disappeared. At this time, the doctor told the patient that the tumors had disappeared after chemotherapy and that he could be discharged and go home after a few days with more anti-inflammatory drugs. The patient was of course very happy to hear that, but the good times did not last long. Within a few months, the disease relapsed. The cancer patient felt uncomfortable again and went to the hospital for examination. The CT report showed that the tumor was larger than before chemotherapy. What was the reason for this? Because the tumor blood vessels were not corroded and melted, the tumor blood vessels were still alive. After being destroyed by chemical drugs, the tumor blood vessels were only damaged. After a period of recovery, the damaged tumor blood vessels revived and grew faster than before. This is the main reason why tumors relapse after surgery and chemotherapy. Therefore, many cancer recurrence or metastasis problems arise from this foundation.

Third, radiotherapy:

That is, laser-like functional instruments are used to burn the malignant tumor to death. While burning the malignant tumor to death, the malignant tumor cells are also activated. The first thing to be burned is the foreskin covering the tumor cells. At the same time, the stimulated malignant tumor cells produce intense movement. Once the burned tumor foreskin begins to be damaged or ruptured, the malignant tumor cells will fly everywhere like hornets whose nest has been blown up. This is the direct cause of the large-scale metastasis of malignant tumors (cancer).

What are the symptoms?

When cancer spreads, there are some common symptoms, including weight loss, unexplained fever, and some lumps on the body surface. Weight loss is the most common symptom when cancer spreads. As cancer cells grow, they will continue to consume nutrients in the body, resulting in unexplained weight loss, weight loss, severe anemia, and no appetite. At the same time, it will be accompanied by unexplained fever. Cancer cells grow quickly, and when they are not supplied with nutrients, they will necrotize, and the necrotic tissue will be absorbed and cause low fever. In addition, cancer cells will also release inflammatory mediators, which will also cause fever, generally below 38°C. If the low fever persists and no cause can be found, cancer metastasis should be considered. At the same time, if you feel a lump without pain, you should also be vigilant. There are many superficial lymph nodes in the body. If there are hard masses, no pain, and poor mobility on the clavicle, groin, and neck, it means that the cancer cells have lymph node metastasis or lymphoma.

However, cancer spread means cancer metastasis. The metastasis of tumors is not random but has certain tendencies. Generally speaking, tumors "like" to metastasize to the liver, lungs, brain, and bone marrow. Metastasis to different parts will of course be accompanied by symptoms. The details are as follows:

1. Lung metastasis:

Initially, the metastatic lesions are relatively small and distributed in the periphery of the lungs. Patients with early lung metastasis may not have any symptoms, such as coughing, chest tightness, or wheezing. As the tumor grows, it compresses the lungs, causing damage to lung function, and symptoms such as coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath may occur.

2. Liver metastasis:

The liver has an important digestive function. If liver tumor growth affects liver function, it may manifest as discomfort in the liver area, decreased digestive function, nausea, vomiting, etc. Blood tests can reveal abnormal liver function.

3. Bone metastasis:

The common symptom is pain. The pain of bone metastasis may be different from ordinary pain. It is more severe and lasts longer. A few patients experience paroxysmal pain, which is difficult to relieve. Patients may experience local nerve compression symptoms, such as numbness. Spinal cord compression may lead to loss of function below the spinal cord level, and in severe cases, high-level paraplegia may occur.

4. Brain metastasis:

The situation is complicated and depends on the growth rate, location, size and intracranial pressure of the brain metastasis tumor. The symptoms vary, with common symptoms being headache, nausea and vomiting, which can sometimes affect hearing, vision, language and motor function, and cause limb hemiplegia, movement disorders, aphasia and other symptoms. Severe brain metastasis and high intracranial pressure may cause brain herniation, resulting in fixed pupils, loss of light reflex, and pupil anisocoria, which can be life-threatening in severe cases.

The good news is that cancer treatment has improved.

So far, it is still an era of "cancer fear". The targeted drugs, chemotherapy, surgery, radiotherapy and other treatment methods that have been launched are unable to accurately locate the location of cancer cells in the body and effectively kill them. This has always been a bottleneck in the field of cancer medical research.

In recent years, there has been continuous good news about tumor immunotherapy. With the unremitting efforts of Beilian Biological Stem Cell Expert Team over the years, the medical difficulties of cancer have been successfully overcome. Beilian NK immune cell therapy has emerged and become the most promising treatment method to improve the efficacy of cancer treatment.

New breakthrough in stem cell therapy for cancer

Beilian NK immune cell therapy collects the body's own immune cells, increases their number by thousands of times through in vitro culture, thereby enhancing the targeted killing function of the immune cells. They are then returned to the human body to kill pathogens, cancer cells, and mutated cells in the blood and tissues, breaking the body's immune tolerance, activating and enhancing the body's immunity. It has both therapeutic and preventive effects.

Compared with traditional NK cell technology, Beilian NK immune cell therapy has made substantial improvements in many aspects such as material source, amplification technology, and biological activity. It is mainly used for tumor treatment and immune function enhancement. This technology is currently being studied clinically and fundamentally with Hunan Xiangya Second Hospital. Initial research results show that NK cell combined with tumor targeted drug therapy can greatly improve the cure rate of malignant tumors, prolong the survival time of patients, and significantly improve the quality of life of cancer patients.

Advantages of Beilian NK immune cell therapy

1. Postoperative treatment consolidates the therapeutic effect, prevents tumor metastasis and recurrence, and reduces the risk of metastasis and recurrence by about 41%. The long-term survival rate of some early patients reaches 70%.

2. Enhance the ideal effect of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, increase the sensitivity and killing rate of radiotherapy and chemotherapy to cancer cells, reduce the side effects of radiotherapy, and improve the body's immunity.

3. Improve the quality of life and prolong the life cycle for patients with terminal cancer.

4. NK immune cell therapy has a wide range of indications, with an efficacy of 93% for various early-stage tumors and 75% for mid- and late-stage tumors.

It is not scary to have cancer, nor is it scary to have cancer spread. What is scary is losing confidence and courage, and trying all kinds of medical treatments.

Therefore, I hope that first of all, every patient will believe that modern science and traditional Chinese medicine have ways to suppress and conquer cancer; secondly, seek medical advice and follow the doctor's professional treatment recommendations.
