Doctors point out the first “sign” that warns of the appearance of an aggressive cancer – Rossiyskaya Gazeta

As experts point out, angiosarcoma (an extremely malignant and often metastatic tumor) most often affects the skin of the head and neck.

The symptoms of the disease appear depending on where the malignancy occurs.

Doctors note that angiosarcoma that occurs in the head and neck area often looks like a “bruise-like mark.” Over time, it can increase, accompanied by the formation of swelling around it.

“When angiosarcoma affects organs such as the liver or heart, it usually causes pain,” the publication notes.

German dermatologist Jan Handgebert also urged caution if bruises appear frequently and seemingly for no reason, that is, not as a result of injury or damage. This may be due to the development of dangerous diseases in the body. Even the tumors.

Candidate of Medical Sciences, oncologist Anton Ivanov, previously noted that, in addition to the obvious symptoms of cancer, there are hidden signs of this disease. The specialist advised that first of all attention should be paid to the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract. Among the “silent” manifestations of cancer are decreased appetite (including food aversion), nausea, vomiting, disturbed bowel movements, and bloating.

Oncologists now consider the most aggressive types of cancer to be stomach, pancreas, lung, ovarian and melanoma, as surgeon and oncologist Ivan Karasev previously noted.
