A feature of tumors is the ability to multiply cells that are spaced along the body by currents of lymph and blood. These cells are capable of forming extensive outgrowths( metastases) in distant organs.
The true tumor is significantly different from the usual swelling that occurs on the ground of inflammation.
Tumors are:
- malignant( sarcoma, cancer);
- benign( angiomas, fibroids, fibroids).
Benign tumors
Benign tumors often grow very slowly, not germinating in surrounding organs and tissues, but only slightly shift and push them apart. These tumors are protected by a capsule, are readily available for surgery, do not relieve the disease and metastases.
Fibroma
Fibroma usually affects:
- mucous membranes;
- periosteum;
- muscle tissue;
- tendons;
- skin.
One of the varieties of fibroids is the polyp, which develops most often in the nasal cavity.
Myoma
Myoma is mostly affected by muscle tissue.
Angioma
Angioma is a tumor consisting of lymphatic and blood vessels.
To angiomas include:
- soft warts;
- vascular birthmarks.
Malignant tumors
Malignant tumors grow very fast, grow into neighboring organs and tissues, destroying their structure. It is possible to remove these tumors surgically only in the early, not started stages. After removal, the tumor often appears again.
Basically, a cancerous tumor occurs in the singular. Cancer can be ulcerative and tumorous.
The cancerous tumor in men is most often striking:
- pharynx;
- oral cavity;
- lower lip;
- the prostate;
- skin;
- respiratory system.
Skin cancer
Skin cancer can often be found in an elderly person.
Basically it appears:
- in place of fistulas;
- non-healing ulcers;
- scarring;
- on the face skin.
The tumor can be transformed into:
- birthmarks;
- warts.
Lower lip cancer
This tumor always develops on the site where various lip diseases are present:
- white spots;
- sores;
- cracked.
Quite often on such ulcers a crust is formed, simulating healing, but the ulcer continues to harden and increase. At this time, smokers should immediately quit smoking.
Breast cancer
This form of cancer is often a solid, painful tumor located in the thickness of the breast tissue. Sometimes the patient can find it by chance. In this case, you should immediately consult a doctor.
Esophageal cancer
Esophageal cancer usually begins with swallowing disorders. There is a gradual narrowing of the lumen in the esophagus and there are difficulties even with swallowing liquids.
Often the pain can be felt under the spoon and behind the breastbone.
Rectal cancer
This form of cancer often develops in the polyps of the rectum. The most common symptom is intestinal bleeding, which is often confused with hemorrhoidal bleeding, which aggravates the situation.
Stomach cancer
Gastric cancer often progresses after diseases:
- chronic gastritis;
- stomach ulcers.
Quite often develops:
- vomiting;
- nausea;
- loss of appetite;
- aversion to meat food.
Lung cancer
This disease first appears morning dry cough. In the future, a lot of mucus is released. There is shortness of breath, body temperature, hemoptysis. An hour later, smoking leads to lung cancer.
Sarcoma
Sarcoma is a rare form of high-grade tumor of connective tissue.
Tumors in men are subject to compulsory treatment.
Doctors-oncologists are always ready to come to the aid of desperate people. This is helped by modern equipment and the latest methods of treatment.
Remember that a cancer tumor is not a verdict, but only the beginning of a struggle for one's health.
Stay healthy!
Tumors( neoplasms) - excessive proliferation of tissues, which includes degenerated cells of the body that have lost their natural functions.
