As per the Cleveland Clinic, ‘appendix cancer develops when healthy cells in your appendix mutate and grow out of control, forming a tumor’ and common symptoms of appendix cancer includes: bloating, appendicitis, fluid buildup in your abdomen, increase in waist size, pain in your abdomen or pelvis, changes in bowel habits, nausea and vomiting, and feeling full soon after you start eating.
Most appendix ca.ncers are appendiceal adenocarcinoma, as per the institution.
It explains: “Adenocarcinoma cancers start in the glandular tissue that lines your organs.”
Yet, a lot of the symptoms overlap with irritable bowel syndrome and other non-life-threatening digestive issues.
So, people will find out if they are screened, which are not offered out readily for anyone who asks.
For Andreana Holowatyj, assistant professor of medicine at Vanderbilt University Medical Center and lead author of the study, as per National Geographic, there needs to be more awareness of the cancer type.
