Cancer is a severe disease that often grows silently, with symptoms appearing only in advanced stages. However, the body can show early alert signs that, if recognized early, can lead to earlier detection and better treatment outcomes.
Here are five early signs of canc.er growth that require medical attention.
1. Unexpected weight loss
A sudden, unpredicted weight loss of 10 pounds or more without changes in diet or exercise could be an early sign of can.cer. This happens because can.cer cells ru:in the body’s metabolism, causing the body to burn more energy than usual.
Possible cancers associated with unexplained weight loss:
- Stomach, pancreas, or liver can.cer (affects digestion and metabolism)
- Lung or esophageal can.cer (which interferes with swallowing and appetite)
- Bl00d can.cers (leukemia, lymphoma) (which affect metabolism and immune function)
2. Constant fatigue and weakness
Feeling constantly tired out even after getting enough rest could be a war.ning sign of can.cer. Unlike normal fatigue, can.cer-related fatigue is constant, serious, and doesn’t enhance with sleep or rest.
Possible can.cers related to fatigue:
