IRVING, Texas -- Las Colinas Cancer Center alerts their cancer patients to stay ahead of any possible issues and maintain a healthy conversation with their physician.
Las Colinas Cancer Center, one of the top cancer centers in the country, is providing men and women the symptoms to pay attention to in the New Year as a way to stay ahead of any potential issues and maintain a healthy dialogue with their doctors. This information, says Dr. Gregory Echt, founder and lead surgeon at Las Colinas Cancer Center, helps to empower people so that they are continuous advocates for their own healthcare, which can ultimately improve and even save their lives.
“Information is imperative for staying one step ahead of a cancer diagnosis,” says Dr. Echt. “We want people to know what to look for – what signs and symptoms should not be ignored. When they are knowledgeable about what to look for in their own bodies, they can better communicate with their doctors, which in turn can account for earlier detection and ultimately earlier treatment if necessary.”
Some signs and symptoms that Las Colinas Cancer Center recommends looking out for include: unexplained fever, weight loss that is unable to be explained, changes in the skin including itching, redness, darkening, and yellowing, slow wound healing, ongoing and pronounced fatigue, localized pain, unexplained bleeding, changes in the breast, lumps in the breast, open mouth sores, a cough that won’t go away, and more. Dr. Echt recommends that any changes to the body that are unusual or cause the patient to feel concerned in any way should be addressed with their doctor.
“We want to empower people to be comfortable that if something doesn’t look right or doesn’t feel right – to them – it is within their right to address those concerns with their doctor,” says Dr. Echt. “No one knows your body better than you do so it’s your voice that should be heard above anything else. At Las Colinas Cancer Center we are committed as a practice to ensuring that our patients’ voices are always heard.”
