Look at your hands: this strange symptom screams cancer in almost 100% of cases

Cancer can remain “hidden” for a long time and give no distress signals to the body. But sometimes a dangerous disease still makes itself felt, but uses completely unexpected “tools” for this.

So recently, oncologists called a rather strange symptom, which in 95% of cases indicates lung cancer. According to the Express Edition, you can notice this by looking at your palms. If the skin on the hands suddenly becomes thicker, lighter, and feels velvety, this may indicate palmar acanthosis. According to the results of the study, this disease is most often a consequence of progressive lung cancer.

Usually palms with acanthosis look like after taking a hot bath. Other changes on the hands should also arouse suspicion: deformation of the nail plate, increase in the size of the fingers, as well as the unrelated appearance of a rash and redness. At the slightest suspicion of acanthosis, it is important to consult a doctor in time and find out the true cause of the pathology.

This striking symptom is experienced by almost all patients with pancreatic cancer: it will be the first to indicate the problem!

Other more common symptoms of lung cancer are a persistent cough (often accompanied by blood), shortness of breath, chest pain, hoarseness, and general malaise.
