Lung cancer
.A doctor reminded, a small change in
nail
can also indicate lung cancer.
The lung specialist from Nyc Health Davood Johari appealed to be vigilant if there was a change in color, shape, or texture of the nails.About 5-15 percent of lung cancer patients experience certain conditions in the finger nails.
In patients with lung cancer, the fingertips will look wider and round than usual.
“The tip of the fingers looks wider and round than usual, with curved nails down, resembling upside down spoons,” Johari said, quoting
New York Post
.
It is not known exactly what the relationship between lung cancer and swollen finger conditions as above.Johari suspected that this condition was caused by lung cancer which could produce hormone -like substances that made blood vessels in the fingers widen.This can increase the flow of the area to the finger area.
Increased blood flow can cause a buildup of fluids under the bottom of the nail, thus making the nails look like ‘hollow’.
In addition, do not ignore the changes in other nails such as bruises do not heal, black lines under the nails, lumps under the nails, embezzlement of the skin beside the nails to bleeding.These conditions can also indicate cancer, not only lung cancer.
Hardened nails can also be a clue to other health problems in the lungs.For example, chronic lung infections, interstitial lung disease, cystic fibrosis, and bronchitis.
In some cases, hardened nails can also be a sign of symptoms of advanced lung cancer.
“Any change in the color of the nails, the shape of the nails, or its thickness, which persists and lasts more than a few weeks should be examined by a doctor,” said Johari.
Lung cancer itself is one of the highest causes of death from cancer in the world.This cancer occurs when the growth of abnormal cells in the lung organs.
Unfortunately, lung cancer is often diagnosed at an advanced stage because of its symptoms that are not too obvious in the initial phase.In fact, early treatment can increase the possibility of recovery.
