1. Why Are the Ten Cancer Warning Signs Important?

With the advancement of modern medicine, effective screening methods and treatments are now available for many cancers. Because certain cancer risk factors have been identified, we can take measures to reduce the likelihood of occurrence. In addition to avoiding known risk factors, early detection of abnormal warning signs, immediate medical evaluation, and prompt treatment can significantly increase chances of recovery and survival.

2. The Ten Cancer Warning Signs — Seek Medical Attention Immediately If You Experience Any of the Following

• Changes in bowel or bladder habits: Sudden increase or decrease in urinary or bowel frequency, especially sudden constipation, diarrhea, pencil-thin stools, frequent urination, urinary difficulty, or abnormal color or content in urine or stool. These warrant further evaluation of the rectum, bladder, or prostate.

• A sore that does not heal: Body wounds normally heal within one week. Any wound that does not heal within two weeks requires attention, particularly ulcers in the mouth, throat, skin, nipple, or vagina.

• Unusual bleeding or discharge: Unexplained bleeding or bruising anywhere in the body, such as nosebleeds, ear discharge, or vaginal bleeding.

• A thickening or lump in the body: Lumps may appear in the neck, breast, abdomen, or groin area. Lumps are usually painless. Be alert to the possibility of nasopharyngeal carcinoma, breast cancer, lung cancer, neuroblastoma, or liver cancer.

• Difficulty swallowing or chronic indigestion: Difficulty eating, loss of appetite, or persistent indigestion. Evaluate the throat, esophagus, or stomach.

• Obvious change in a wart or mole: Redness, swelling, or visible change in a mole or wart on the skin. Be alert to the possibility of melanoma.

• Nagging cough or hoarseness: Persistent cough, coughing up blood, or hoarseness. Perform further evaluation of the mouth, throat, and lungs.

• Unexplained body pain: Persistent pain in a specific body area that does not improve over time.

• Unexplained weight loss: In the absence of diabetes or hyperthyroidism, losing 2 kg within two weeks or 5 kg within one month without intentional dieting or exercise warrants investigation.

• Unexplained prolonged fever or generalized fatigue.

Maintaining good body awareness through regular health check-ups, staying alert to changes, correcting unhealthy habits, and detecting potential disease factors early enables timely treatment and supports long-term good health.

Electric Field Cancer Therapy (ECCT) — Cancer Adjuvant Treatment in Japan

ECCT is generally ineffective on normal cells because tumor cells have different electrical properties (conductivity and permittivity) than normal cells. Tumor cells are more sensitive to external electric fields. Side effects are minimal compared to chemotherapy, with no major adverse events reported.

Treatment duration is determined by the physician after clinical observation and ongoing assessment.

A diet sufficient in albumin, vitamin C, flavonoids, and olive oil is recommended to support immune system function.

ECCT technology was developed by Professor Warsito P. Taruno and the CTech Laboratory team of Edward Technology (Indonesian Patent No. REGP00201200092, 2012).
