Early detection of cancer offers a great opportunity for treatment and recovery. Here are the most prominent symptoms and changes that may occur in the body and may indicate cancer, with symptoms of cancer in children.
There are more than 200 types of cancer, and the symptoms are often spread throughout the body or in certain parts of it. Cancer occurs when abnormal cells multiply out of control and spread to another location.
The cells can invade and destroy normal body tissues, and cancer can spread throughout the body.
Cancer is one of the leading causes of death in the world.
Many medical studies have proven that in the event of early detection of the infection, this greatly increases the rates of recovery.

Breast cancer symptoms
Unusual changes in the size, shape or texture of the breast, including changes to the nipple or skin.
We stress that the appearance of these symptoms does not necessarily mean infection with the disease, but may be useful in monitoring and detecting it early, and it is necessary to consult a doctor regarding any of these symptoms.
