Before the disease manifests, the hands and feet may show “w-a-rn-ing symptoms” that could indicate an underlying condition, including c-a-n-c-e-r. Though these signs don’t always mean c-a-n-c-e-r, being aware of them is crucial.

**Skin Changes:** Unexplained redness, darkening, or a bluish tinge in the hands and feet could signal c-a-n-c-e-r or other health issues.

**Swelling:** Persistent or worsening swelling may be linked to c-a-n-c-e-r, its treatment, or lymphedema, which can occur with some malignancies. It may also indicate a blood clot.

**Pain or Numbness:** This could be a sign of nerve involvement, particularly in lung, prostate, or bone c-a-n-c-e-r.

**Nail Abnormalities:** Discoloration, thickness, or streaks under the nails, like black striations, may indicate melanoma. C-a-n-c-e-r treatments can also make nails brittle or ridged.

If you notice these or other unusual changes, consult a doctor for an accurate diagnosis. Early detection can significantly improve treatment outcomes.
