Cancer hand
Cancer hand is a term used to describe the hand of someone who has been diagnosed with cancer. A medical cancer hand is characterized by a number of signs including swelling, discoloration, and hardening of the skin. Additionally, there may be a decrease in the range of motion and strength of the hand. These signs are caused by the tumor or metastatic cancer cells invading and affecting the tissues of the hand. This can lead to pain, discomfort, and a decrease in the ability to do everyday activities. In addition, chemotherapy and radiation therapy can have an impact on the hands, leading to further symptoms. Treatment for medical cancer hand usually involves addressing the underlying cause of the symptoms, and may include medications, radiation therapy, and surgery.
