CANCER GENERAL SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS

Here are some of the common signs and symptoms of cancer. It may be different depending on the type of cancer, but, generally, one or more of these symptoms–or a combination of them–will manifest.

1. WEIGHT LOSS

Unexplained weight loss of 10 or more pounds is one red flag to watch out for. It is also common for most people with cancer to lose some or more weight at some point. However, experiencing sudden weight loss with no discernible reason can mean that you are coming down with a serious health issue.

Usually, weight loss is most common in people with pancreatic, stomach, esophageal, or lung cancer, but this symptom can also occur with any cancer.
