What is appendix cancer?
Foreign media describe appendiceal cancer as a "very rare disease." According to the National Cancer Institute, 1 to 2 people in 1 million people in the United States will develop this disease every year. It was this cancer that killed Audrey Hepburn.
According to reports, there are no tests available for early screening for appendiceal cancer, and it is usually diagnosed in only two situations: first, doctors may find the cancer when the patient undergoes surgery to remove appendicitis; second, the cancer has spread to If other parts of the body cause discomfort or unexplained weight loss, fatigue, etc., the doctor may perform a biopsy of the appendix to find cancer.
Many patients with appendiceal cancer have no symptoms at first. After the tumor becomes larger, they may experience appendicitis-like pain, nausea and vomiting, an enlarged or lumpy abdomen, a feeling of fullness, etc. Moreover, the appendix is located close to the large intestine and small intestine. Appendiceal cancer is often confused with colon cancer, leading to misdiagnosis.
Doctors said that the appendix is shaped like an earthworm and is about the same length as an adult’s little finger. Sometimes it becomes inflamed, which is called appendicitis. The main manifestation is metastatic right lower quadrant pain. It starts with pain in the upper abdomen or around the navel. After a few hours, the abdominal pain transfers and becomes fixed in the right lower quadrant. There are also symptoms such as high fever, nausea, and vomiting.
If such symptoms occur, do not take it too lightly and go to a regular hospital for treatment in time. Especially older patients with a long medical history should pay more attention, and use B-ultrasound, CT pathology examination and other means to rule out the possibility of comorbid peri-appendiceal tumors to avoid delays in treatment.
