Some symptoms similar to allergies, may indicate the presence of oncological diseases.

In the spring, there is a period of vigorous flowering, which provokes allergic reactions in the country's residents. However, difficult breathing and skin rashes, characteristic of this disease, can also be manifested in malignant neoplastic diseases of the blood or internal organs.

Because they are often attributed to seasonal allergies, there is a risk of not noticing a more dangerous disease, doctors assure.

Characteristic signs of allergic reactions are associated with the release of biologically active substances in the tumor. In addition to the fact that it activates allergy mediators, the effect is also found on the system of innate and acquired immunity.

It is interesting that the signs of allergy can appear before doctors notice a tumor during diagnosis. Changes in laboratory tests common to allergic and oncological diseases are also possible. In order to prevent the development of oncology, doctors advise regular visits to the doctor.
