  https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/12194-cancer

  Cancer is a large group of diseases with one thing in common: They happen when normal cells become cancerous cells that multiply and spread. […] Symptoms of cancer vary from person to person. They depend on what type of cancer you have and how advanced it is. […] General cancer symptoms may include: Fatigue, Fever that occurs mostly at night, Loss of appetite, Night sweats, Persistent pain, Skin changes, particularly moles that change shape and size or new moles, Unexplained weight loss. […] In some cases, cancer may cause additional organ-specific symptoms. These may include: Blood in your pee or in your stool, Changes in the shape, color or size of a skin mole, Coughing up blood, New lumps or bumps. […] Cancer is a complicated disease. Different types cause different symptoms. It’s also possible to have cancer for years without knowing it. Other times, it can cause obvious symptoms that get worse very quickly.

  Signs and symptoms of cancer depend on where the cancer is, how big it is, and how much it affects nearby organs or tissues. If a cancer has spread (metastasized), signs or symptoms may appear in different parts of the body. […] A cancer can grow into, or begin to push on nearby organs, blood vessels, and nerves. This pressure causes some of the signs and symptoms of cancer. […] A cancer may also cause symptoms like fever, extreme tiredness (fatigue), or weight loss. This may be because cancer cells use up much of the body’s energy supply. Or the cancer could release substances that change the way the body makes energy. Cancer can also cause the immune system to react in ways that produce these signs and symptoms. […] Here are some of the more common signs and symptoms that may be caused by cancer. However, any of these can be caused by other problems as well.

• #1 Understanding Cancer Progression and Metastasis

  https://blog.crownbio.com/cancer-progression-metastasis

  Cancer progression is the process by which this disease goes from bad to worse. […] At the cellular and tissue level, advanced cancers evade the immune system, stimulate the development of a blood supply, invade surrounding tissues, and metastasize. […] This last feature, the sinister spread of cancer cells throughout the body, is responsible for cancer mortality. […] We only notice cancer when it becomes symptomatic, which is typically characteristic of late-stage disease. […] Early-stage, non-symptomatic lesions are elusive, so an appreciation for the molecular and cellular events that conspire to make a cancer progress are less well understood. […] A common feature of these thin metastatic melanomas was that they were present in the dermis of the skin, having invaded through the basement membrane into the dermal layer.

  A good rule of thumb is to let a healthcare provider know any time there’s a change in your body that lasts for more than two weeks. […] Cancer is a genetic disorder. But that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s inherited. It happens when genes that manage cell activity mutate (change). They create abnormal cells that divide and multiply, eventually disrupting how your body works. […] These cells create cancer clusters, or tumors. Cancerous cells may break away from tumors and travel to other areas of your body through your lymphatic system or bloodstream. […] Healthcare providers use cancer staging systems to plan treatment and develop a prognosis or expected outcome. […] Most cancers have four stages. The specific stage is determined by a few different factors, including the tumor’s size and location.

  Stage IV (4) (or metastatic cancer) means that cancer cells have spread to distant areas of your body through your bloodstream or lymphatic system. […] Different cancers require different treatments, so outcomes vary. In general, people who receive their diagnosis and begin treatment before cancer spreads have a more positive outlook. […] But even if your cancer has spread beyond where it started, treatment can slow its growth, ease your symptoms, help you live longer and improve your quality of life.

• #1 Metastatic Cancer: When Cancer Spreads – NCI

  https://www.cancer.gov/types/metastatic-cancer

  Cancer that spreads from where it started to a distant part of the body is called metastatic cancer. For many types of cancer, it is also called stage 4 cancer. The process by which cancer cells spread to other parts of the body is called metastasis. […] Metastatic cancer does not always cause symptoms. When symptoms do occur, what they are like and how often you have them will depend on the size and location of the metastatic tumors. Some common signs of metastatic cancer include: pain and fractures, when cancer has spread to the bone; headache, seizures, or dizziness, when cancer has spread to the brain; shortness of breath, when cancer has spread to the lung; jaundice or swelling in the belly, when cancer has spread to the liver.

  https://www.verywellhealth.com/lung-cancer-progression-5221706

  Small cell lung cancer spreads more rapidly than non-small cell lung cancer. […] On average, lung cancers double in size in approximately four to five months. […] Lung cancer can spread when cancer cells break away from the original tumor and travel through the bloodstream or lymphatic system and form new tumors in other parts of the body. […] If lung cancer spreads elsewhere, it is still referred to as lung cancer. […] If lung cancer is progressing and/or spreading to other areas of the body, you may notice physical changes, depending on the area of the body where the cancer cells have metastasized. […] Physical changes in end-stage lung cancer include fluid build-up around the lungs, shortness of breath, consistent cough, obstruction and/or bleeding of the airways, fatigue, weight loss and pain.

  https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/breast-cancer/symptoms-causes/syc-20352470

  Breast cancer is a kind of cancer that begins as a growth of cells in the breast tissue. […] Signs and symptoms of breast cancer may include: A breast lump or thickened area of skin that feels different from the surrounding tissue. A nipple that looks flattened or turns inward. Changes in the color of the breast skin. In people with white skin, the breast skin may look pink or red. In people with brown and Black skin, the breast skin may look darker than the other skin on the chest or it may look red or purple. Change in the size, shape or appearance of a breast. Changes to the skin over the breast, such as skin that looks dimpled or looks like an orange peel. Peeling, scaling, crusting or flaking of the skin on the breast. […] If you find a lump or other change in your breast, make an appointment with a doctor or other healthcare professional. Don’t wait for your next mammogram to see if the change you found is breast cancer. Report any changes in your breasts even if a recent mammogram showed there was no breast cancer.

• #1 Signs of Breast Cancer | Breast Cancer Research Foundation

  https://www.bcrf.org/about-breast-cancer/signs-of-breast-cancer/

  Symptoms of breast cancer vary from person to person, but the most common sign is a new lump or mass. […] In its earliest stages, breast cancer may not cause symptoms. When it does, the most common signs of breast cancer are a lump, swelling, and/or pain. […] Many breast cancers are detected by routine breast cancer screening (via mammograms, ultrasounds, or MRI) before there’s any lump or other sign of breast cancer noted above. […] Not all types of breast cancer cause the same symptoms. For example, a lump is usually not present in inflammatory breast cancer. More common symptoms of inflammatory breast cancer include redness and swelling of the breast, which are caused by cancer cells blocking lymph vessels in the skin. […] Signs of breast cancer in men are very similar to those in women. They include a painless lump or thickening in the breast tissue; changes to the skin covering the breast, such as dimpling, puckering, redness, or scaling; changes to the nipple, such as redness or scaling; a nipple that begins to turn inward; and discharge from the nipple.

  Colon cancer symptoms can be confusing. […] It’s important to know the symptoms. Contact your provider when symptoms persist or if you experience more than one at a time. […] Blood in the toilet, on the stool, or on toilet paper after a bowel movement. […] Any blood that appears after a bowel movement should be evaluated by a clinician, and large amounts of blood may warrant an emergency room visit. […] A thin, narrow, or ribbon-like stool could indicate changes inside your colon. […] Blood, darkened, or tarry (black) stool can signal issues inside the colon. […] If your constipation lasts longer than two weeks, you should see a doctor to identify its cause. […] Chronic internal bleeding (like from a bleeding polyp, etc.) can lead to iron deficiency (anemia), causing persistent tiredness.

• #1 Can Colon Cancer Symptoms Come and Go?

  https://www.curasia.com/can-colon-cancer-symptoms-come-and-go-understanding-symptom-fluctuations/

  One of the most common questions regarding colon cancer is whether its symptoms can come and go. The answer is yes—colon cancer symptoms can fluctuate. For example, an individual might experience changes in bowel habits for a few days, followed by a period of normalcy before the symptoms return. This can make it difficult to identify the seriousness of the condition, leading people to delay seeking medical advice. […] The size and location of the tumor in the colon play a significant role in how symptoms present. Smaller tumors may only cause mild or intermittent symptoms, whereas larger tumors can block the colon, leading to more persistent signs like bowel obstruction. As the tumor grows, symptoms may worsen and become more frequent. […] In the early stages of colon cancer, tumors may cause a partial blockage of the colon, which can lead to intermittent symptoms. For example, an individual might experience alternating periods of constipation and diarrhea, which could be mistakenly attributed to other conditions like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). The blockage might be relieved temporarily as stool passes through the narrowed area, causing symptoms to subside briefly before returning.

  Most people have no external symptoms of prostate cancer. The clearest signs are found by testing: a high PSA score and/or abnormal physical exam. When external symptoms do show, they’re similar to the urinary issues that come with an enlarged prostate. More serious signs include rapid weight loss, pain the bones and/or the area around the prostate. […] In the early stages of prostate cancer, there are usually no noticeable symptoms. […] Prostate cancer is almost always found through testing, such as a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood test or digital rectal exam (DRE). A higher-than-average PSA score for your age and/or an abnormal DRE can make a life-saving difference for those with an aggressive form of the disease. […] In its early stages, prostate cancer often presents no noticeable symptoms, making regular screening essential for early detection.

  The recent revelations about the Princess of Waless cancer diagnosis highlight a crucial aspect of cancer detection the diseases sometimes silent nature. […] Silent cancers are those without noticeable symptoms. They pose a unique challenge in early detection and treatment. […] While even silent cancers can sometimes be aggressive and advance rapidly, they can also remain dormant for years or even decades. Some prostate, breast and thyroid cancers, for example, often evolve slowly without obvious symptoms or spreading beyond the original area. […] Some cancer symptoms can be vague and easily mistaken for benign ailments. Fatigue, unexplained weight loss and persistent pain are among the nonspecific symptoms that may signal an underlying malignancy.

  Early diagnosis is a key factor for successful cancer treatment. Detecting cancer in its silent phase offers a window of opportunity for early intervention and improved outcomes. […] Identifying cancer at an early stage means the disease is confined to its site of origin, smaller and potentially easier to cure. […] Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a good example to show the critical importance of screening. Studies show that patients who participate in CRC screening, such as colonoscopies or tests that look for blood in the stool, are more likely to be diagnosed while asymptomatic and have more positive prognoses after treatment. […] Asymptomatic cancers represent a formidable challenge for patient care. But, by encouraging patients to adopt preventive lifestyles and engage with screenings and tests, asymptomatic cancers dont have to be a hidden threat to health.

  https://www.careinsurance.com/blog/health-insurance-articles/what-do-the-5-stages-of-cancer-denote

  Cancer staging is a process that doctors use to describe the extent or seriousness of cancer in a patients body. The stage of cancer indicates the size of the tumour, where it has spread and how far it has progressed.

  Cancer symptoms are often misunderstood. Cancer is a silent killer and the fact that its symptoms remain unnoticed for a longer duration makes it even worse. Cancerous growth inside a body is an unstoppable growth of cells which progress at a faster pace. There are several signs of cancer which appear in the early stage. If these signs are treated early there is a higher chance of controlling the cancerous growth inside the body. […] For Paul Lewis, who was diagnosed with stage IV bowel cancer, the initial signs were rectal bleeding, increased level of fatigue, and intermittent changes in bowel habit. „In my case, the symptoms slowly but constantly built up over time. There were also elements that came and went, like waves. Since my diagnosis, the metastases arrive at irregular intervals, which could also be considered wavelike. On that basis, I’d say that some symptoms come in waves but some can be constant. Others slowly build up over time.”

[…] For melanoma, being able to proliferate in the dermis was an absolute requirement to metastasis, because the cells would be faced with a very similar environment at the secondary metastatic site. […] I realized that an invasive cancer was akin to a metastasis that hadn’t yet metastasized. […] This concept gave supported clinical observations that locally invasive cancers generally always had a poor prognosis, but not due to invasion.
