British doctors have figured out an easy way to diagnose lung cancer with simple finger manipulation.
To diagnose the disease, you need to connect your index fingers, and then bend them so that they touch your nails.
If you see a small gap between the cuticles, drop all worries - you are healthy. If it is not found, it may indicate lung cancer.The disease in 35% of cases leads to the accumulation of fluid in the fingertips, which, in turn, contributes to the softening of the nail at the base.
Doctors clarify that a successful finger test does not mean that a person is not sick with cancer. The absence of a gap between the nails is also not a necessary sign of a tumor - the accumulation of fluid can be caused by other reasons. Nevertheless, the method can be used for primary diagnosis as an indication for seeking medical attention.
