Silent cancers: here’s what you need to know when there are no obvious symptoms

Retrieved on: 
Wednesday, April 3, 2024

Contrary to common perception, cancer does not always announce its presence through overt symptoms or obvious signs.

Key Points: 
  • Contrary to common perception, cancer does not always announce its presence through overt symptoms or obvious signs.
  • While even silent cancers can sometimes be aggressive and advance rapidly, they can also remain dormant for years or even decades.
  • Some prostate, breast and thyroid cancers, for example, often evolve slowly without obvious symptoms or spreading beyond the original area.

The importance of early diagnosis

  • Whatever the cancer, it’s always important to get an early diagnosis though – and for silent cancers, this is obviously a challenge.
  • But such symptoms can be misinterpreted or easily dismissed, which contributes to delayed diagnosis and treatment.
  • Fortunately, in many countries including the UK, we have screening tests for diseases like breast or colon cancer, to increase early diagnoses.
  • Early diagnosis is a key factor for successful cancer treatment.

Biomarker discovery

  • From molecular profiling to liquid biopsy techniques (blood tests to diagnose cancer), innovative approaches are reshaping the landscape of cancer diagnosis, offering new avenues for personalised and precision medicine.
  • For example, I worked with a team using blood tests to identify cancers in more than 1,000 women recalled after screening for mammography.
  • Although there’s increasing awareness and use of this approach in Europe, it isn’t standard in the UK.
