Although sexual tumors are a very frightening existence, with the development of medicine and people's cognition, malignant tumors have become increasingly common and accepted by people. Of course, when malignant tumors appear, there will be some early signs in the body.
Is there any cancer in the body? The chest is sometimes an important warning light. So, what are the characteristics of the chest that you need to be alert to? Could it be cancer coming?

I. Unrelievable chest pain
Chest pain. Many diseases can cause chest pain, such as coronary heart disease, pleurisy, pulmonary embolism, etc., but there is also a disease that can not be ignored. That is, cancer, such as lung cancer, breast cancer, etc. may cause chest pain, but if it is caused by cancer, chest pain may be a signal in the advanced or even late stage. For example, chest pain caused by lung cancer may occur only when the pleura, chest wall, or even ribs are metastasized. The same is true for breast cancer. On the one hand, even if a malignant tumor does not invade the pleura, it may still be a malignant tumor metastasis. For example, when a malignant tumor in the lungs metastasizes, it may metastasize to the bone and cause obvious tenderness in the sternum. On the other hand, when some primary malignant tumors, such as leukemia patients, appear, there may also be tenderness in the sternum. This is because the thymus is originally a hematopoietic site during fetal development, so when blood system related diseases appear, there will be obvious pain in the sternum.
2. Chest Wall Lumps
Many people first discover a chest wall lump when they discover cancer. If the chest wall lump is particularly hard in texture, has poor mobility, and is particularly prone to rupture, they should be highly alert to malignant tumors, such as lung cancer, which can easily metastasize to the chest wall.
III. Changes in Chest Skin
When some other malignant tumors appear, such as malignant tumors in the breast area, there may also be obvious sensations in the chest. For example, on the surface, we may find some changes in skin color and shape on the chest surface. On the other hand, there may also be some obvious signs such as common dimple signs, orange peel signs, and so on. So when malignant tumors appear, we need to think about the causes and consequences. When these abnormal manifestations appear in the chest of the body, we also need to be very cautious to prevent missing these precious opportunities in the early stages of the disease.
4. Chest tightness
When it comes to chest tightness, many people's first reaction is coronary heart disease, but not necessarily. All chest tightness is caused by coronary heart disease. For example, lung cancer can easily cause pleural effusion, and after pleural effusion appears, patients may also experience chest tightness and shortness of breath.
Long term smokers are more likely to have chest features, so for those who smoke for a long time, when the above three features appear, it is necessary to check their chest in a timely manner, and the best way at this time is CT examination.
There are also some people who do not smoke at ordinary times, but have a family history of lung cancer or breast cancer. These people should also closely observe the symptoms and signs of the chest. Regular physical examination is very important. For lung screening, the best way is CT, not simple chest film. For breast, the best way is color ultrasound or molybdenum target. If suspicious nodules are found, puncture biopsy must be carried out in time. Of course, these manifestations of the chest are only a small part of all malignant tumors, so when people reach a certain age and want to identify malignant tumors early, they need to pay attention not only to the chest, but also to the overall physical condition, which is the key.
