Clinical cancer staging is of great significance to the patient's treatment prognosis, but many people do not know what cancer staging is divided. For ordinary people, you only need to know two points: before and after metastasis.
Most cancers are middle- and early stage cancers before metastasis, with a better prognosis after treatment and a higher probability of survival in 5 years. However, after cancer cells metastasize, it is called metastatic cancer, which is the late stage of cancer. The prognosis is relatively poor and it is difficult to cure. Many patients will die of cancer during this period.
So it is important for patients to accurately understand whether the cancer in their body has metastases. So how fast the cancer metastases is when it metastases, and what abnormalities are there in the body?
1
How fast is cancer metastasis? Reminder: When cancer spreads, there may be 4 abnormalities in the body.
Many people first think that there is a lesion in a certain part, and it takes a long time for the cancer cells to spread to other parts. You did not discover and treat it in time in the early stage, and even think that this series of operations is irrelevant.
In fact, cancer cells metastasize very fast. It only takes three seconds to quickly transfer from your blood to other parts. There are many ways. Common ones include blood, lymph , bones, and the speed of metastasis will be affected to varying degrees depending on the type of patient, the time of onset, the treatment method, etc.

What are the symptoms of cancer cell metastasis?
weight loss is large
The weight of a normal person will remain within a certain range and will not float much up and down. However, after cancer occurs, most patients will suffer from long-term disease troubles after treatment, and their weight loss is large and even become thin.
cancer cells continuously absorb nutrients in the body, affecting normal cell growth. Once more and more lesions spread, the number of cancer cells continues to increase, energy and nutrition are deprived, and weight loss is more obvious.
Pain
Cancer metastasis There will be many changes in the body, such as bone pain in multiple parts. In this case, you need to be vigilant. Most bone pain is caused by cancer cells spreading to other parts through bone metastasis , and even persistent pain will occur.
Cancer cells may be metastasized on a certain organ, and if there is a lesion in the area, the corresponding pain will appear. liver cancer is a hidden pain or dull pain in the liver area, which should arouse our vigilance.
Fever
Hydging, and it is a body temperature of unknown reasons. Abnormality may be a warning of cancer cell metastasis. The tumor development speed in the body is relatively fast, and the number of cancer cells is increasing, and it will face tumor tissue necrosis and tumor metabolites enter the blood.
So at this time, lesions in multiple parts will appear accompanied by infection and inflammation. The surface symptoms are abnormal body temperature. If you have become cancerous and have frequent fever, you should suspect that cancer cells are metastasized .
Lymph nodes enlargement
Pay attention to changes in the body at ordinary times. If you find that the lymph nodes in a certain part are enlarged, you should be vigilant. It is an important area of tumor metastasis, especially lymph nodes in the neck, clavicle, inguinal and other parts.
At this time, cancer cells will be metastasized through lymphoid tissue to other parts of the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system will usually be enlarged, and sometimes it will be superficial lymph nodes. You can feel that it becomes significantly larger by touching it.

So once the patient's cancer cells spread, does it mean that there is no meaning of treatment?
is not!
cancer cells are spreading in stages, the degree of spreading in stages is different, the effect of treatment and survival time are also different.
If you have strong immunity, cancer cells only spread to the local area, and the patient has largely passed the doctor's scientific treatment, and there is still hope of survival after the surgery.
Even if it has spread throughout the body, it should not lose the motivation to continue treatment Advanced cancer treatment has certain significance, especially various treatment methods have been developed for cancer cells. Even in the late stage, we must actively treat it. If you have hope of survival, don’t give up.
