Cancer is becoming one of the most prevalent diseases of our time. It is now becoming a challenge to contain the increase in cancer rates. With technological advancement, detection is now easier as different cancers seem to make inroads into people’s bodies. Scientists are working on detecting the symptoms, which help us detect the progress of the disease. It also helps to locate the attack on the part of the body so that it can be treated before it’s too late, especially in the case of cancer.
Detecting cancer symptoms
The big ‘C’ is a dreaded term and almost a death sentence for many who are fighting a losing battle when cancer shows up. However, a little supervision initially can save years for the patient. Blurred vision gets neglected often, which can be one of the telling signs. A study conducted in 2020 showed that people who complained of blurred vision, red eyes, visual field defects, flashing sensation, diplopia, floaters etc., can have malignant tumors in the lung. These symptoms often result from the metastasis of the tumor if undetected. It can affect the quality of life and inadvertently decrease the person’s life span.
Vision issues linked
Another research also showed eye pain, proptosis, visual loss, etc., might also showcase colon cancer symptoms. The studies revealed that the eye issues came about two months prior to the actual diagnosis of the disease (cancer). Even photosensitivity and double vision happen to be one of the first symptoms observed in a colon cancer patient.
After more research, in a fairly recent study, even common cancers are linked to vision issues. The scientists recommended that cancer specialists initiate a few moments in eye check-up to capture the initial symptoms, which can often be life-saving measures for several people.
