By the time these symptoms become evident, the tumor has already metastasized, extending its reach to various parts of the body. This progression brings about a range of symptoms, including:

Abdominal Pain: The tumor's expansion into the abdomen can apply pressure to neighboring nerves, leading to discomfort and pain in the abdominal region.

Bloating: As the tumor infiltrates adjacent tissues, it triggers swelling within the abdomen, resulting in feelings of bloating.

Hernias: Particularly prevalent in men, hernias appear as localized bulges in the skin. Their emergence can be attributed to the cancer's growth, leading to these protrusions. Hernias also serve as a potential indicator of appendix cancer.

Nausea and Vomiting: The tumor's impact on the digestive system can cause sensations of nausea and episodes of vomiting. This reaction can be attributed to potential obstructions in the intestine.

Loss of Appetite: The blockage that forms within the GastroIntestinal tract can give rise to a loss of appetite.

It's important to note that appendix cancer initially remains asymptomatic. However, as time passes, these symptoms gradually emerge. They might become noticeable during an episode of appendicitis, where the appendix needs to be removed. Alternatively, these signs can come to light through imaging tests conducted for unrelated conditions. By the time these symptoms make their presence felt, the cancer has often spread to adjacent regions of the appendix, underscoring the importance of vigilance and timely medical attention.
