A way to diagnose lung cancer based on the condition of the fingers has been announced
British scientists have studied how to diagnose lung cancer in a patient based on the condition of the fingers.
According to Qadin.Net, this was reported by Express.
Experts say that the dangerous disease can remain hidden for a long time. However, she has obvious symptoms - a cough that lasts more than two weeks, pain when breathing, bloody sputum, shortness of breath, apathy and weight loss.
According to scientists from the British organization Cancer Research, lung cancer can also be diagnosed by the condition of the fingers: if the bottom of the nail softens and the skin around it begins to glow, it may indicate the first stage of the disease.
As a result of cancer, the body begins to produce chemicals, which direct a large amount of blood to the fingertips. As a result, the fingertips grow. The reason for this process has not yet been fully explored.
