Melanoma cancer symptoms
Once melanoma begins to transform cancerously, the tumor will gradually grow larger, and the melanocytic nevi on the skin will also exhibit unusual phenomena. If various colors or a deepening of color appears in the melanin on a patient's body, it might indicate the onset of malignant changes. If a patient develops melanoma, it is advisable for them to seek medical attention promptly for surgical treatment, as this can help prevent the progression to cancer.
How long does it take for vulvar cancer to progress from early to late stage?
If you have vulvar cancer, and want to know how long it takes to progress from early to late stage, it varies from person to person and cannot precisely be determined. Each individual's constitution is different, so the progression of the disease varies. It is recommended that patients seek medical treatment as soon as they discover they have vulvar cancer, to try to control the growth of the tumor, prevent it from spreading, enhance immune system, and improve physique, thereby aiming to extend survival.
Can vulvar cancer be cured by radiotherapy?
Vulvar cancer is a relatively malignant tumor. If a patient is diagnosed with vulvar cancer, they should first undergo a medical examination to check if the cancer has metastasized distantly. If the condition is just localized inflammation, it is recommended that the patient undergo surgical treatment followed by radiotherapy, as this is a very serious condition. Surgery itself can cause harm to the patient’s body, but due to the severity of the condition, it is necessary to focus on the main conflict and take corresponding rescue measures. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy can only play a certain supplementary and auxiliary role after surgery, potentially reducing the size of some tumors to a certain extent, minimizing surgical trauma and postoperative recurrence. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy are also effective for patients who are unable to undergo surgery or who cannot receive surgical treatment. If diagnosed with vulvar cancer, it is advised to visit a standard hospital for examination and follow the doctor’s guidance for appropriate diagnosis and treatment.
Melanoma lymphatic metastasis symptoms
If melanoma has metastasized to the lymph nodes, it can cause lymph node enlargement. At the same time, patients with melanoma may also experience persistent fever, leading to a decrease in the body's resistance and a drop in the level of blood cells. In such cases, it is recommended to undergo a detailed examination. If metastasis is detected, surgical treatment is advised, or consider using methods such as radiation therapy for treatment.
Is melanoma cancer?
Melanoma is generally a malignant tumor caused by melanin in the skin and other organs, which means melanoma is also known as cancer, and it is a very bad tumor. If there are hair follicles in this melanoma, then it is very likely that cancerous changes will occur. Patients should pay attention as the malignancy of the disease is extremely high, and they should seek timely medical examinations and treatment.
How long does it take for melanoma to develop from early stage to advanced stage?
From what we observe now, in the early stages of illness, melanomas are typically found on the extremities such as hands, feet, the underside of feet, under fingernails, and particularly on the big toe. Initially, they might appear simply as a black spot or a lesion. About two to three years later, there might be swelling at the site of the lesion or black spot. Then, within another five to six months, it may ulcerate, indicating that the condition has worsened.
Can melanoma be excised?
Melanoma, also known as malignant melanoma, generally appears on the skin or in areas such as mucous membranes and the choroid of the eye. It is the most malignant type of skin tumor and is prone to distant metastases. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial in the initial stages of the disease. If a diagnosis of melanoma is confirmed at a formal hospital, it is recommended that patients undergo a complete excision biopsy of the lesion. If the lesion is too large to be removed, a superficial skin lesion theft or punch biopsy may also be considered.
Is there an abnormality in the routine blood test for thyroid cancer?
If you have thyroid cancer, it is advised that patients promptly visit a formal hospital for examination. If one undergoes a routine blood test, generally there will be no abnormalities. This test can reveal the number of platelets, the presence of anemia, or the state of white blood cells, which are not related to the thyroid. Therefore, if thyroid cancer patients undergo routine blood tests, typically no abnormalities will be found. In daily life, patients should ensure they rest sufficiently, engage in less physically demanding exercise, maintain a cheerful mood, plan their three meals a day wisely, and pay attention to nutritious diet planning.
Is there a possibility of curing melanoma with lymphatic metastasis?
Melanoma is a type of skin tumor caused by the excessive growth of melanin cells. For melanoma that has spread to the lymph nodes, surgical treatment is recommended, along with adjunctive radiotherapy and chemotherapy, which can effectively control the spread and metastasis of cancer cells. Traditional Chinese medicine can also be used in conjunction, which not only controls the growth of cancer cells but also mitigates the damage to the body from radiotherapy and chemotherapy. After treatment, patients should pay attention to their diet, exercise moderately, and maintain a good physical condition.
Can oral cancer be transmitted through saliva?
Oral cancer, unlike some other cancers, cannot be transmitted to others through bacteria or pathogens via saliva or other means. Thus, oral cancer is not contagious. The cancer cells in oral cancer can only metastasize within the individual themselves, causing proliferation and spreading of the disease. Therefore, even if it leads to cancer in other parts of the body, it is not transmissible to others. Based on these symptoms, living or sharing meals with someone suffering from oral cancer does not pose a risk of contagion through saliva.
