Experts emphasize that among the various types of oncology, there are those that can be detected in the early stages, which increases the chances of successful treatment. Some of these forms of cancer include aggressive types of diseases, writes Pravda.Ru.
One notable example is skin cancer, which can often be detected in its early stages if the patient pays attention to tell-tale symptoms, such as changes in moles and new growths on the skin.
However, among the many types of oncology, there are some that are difficult to diagnose in the early stages. These include pancreatic cancer, ovarian cancer and colon cancer. One reason for this complexity is that the symptoms of these cancers are often confused with less serious diseases, which can delay the start of treatment.
Symptoms to look out for in the context of suspected cancer include bowel problems such as bloating, constipation or diarrhea. Weight loss may also be a signal for medical consultation and examination.
It is important to note that genetic factors also play a significant role in the early detection and successful treatment of cancer. Research in this area continues to develop and, with the help of genetic tests, it is possible to identify features that influence the course of the disease and the choice of treatment methods.
University of California cancer genetics doctor Beth Karlan points out that genetic factors can determine that some patients may live only a few years after surgery, while others may live decades. Research in this area offers hope for more precise and personalized cancer treatment in the future.
