BEWARE: SIGNS & SYMPTOMS OF CANCER

Cancer is a group of diseases that can cause almost any sign or symptom.

The signs and symptoms will depend on :

• Where the cancer is
• How big the tumor is
• How much it affects the organs or tissues nearby
• If a cancer has spread (metastasized), signs or symptoms may appear in different parts of the body. As a cancer grows, it can begin to push on nearby organs, blood vessels, and nerves. This pressure also may cause some of the signs and symptoms of cancer.                   

• If the cancer is in a critical area with limited space, such as certain parts of the brain, even the smallest tumor can cause symptoms. But sometimes cancer starts in places where it does not cause any signs or symptoms until it has grown quite large.

We need to know some of the general signs and symptoms of cancer: 

BUT REMEMBER THAT HAVING ANY OF THESE DOES NOT MEAN THAT ONE HAS CANCER , – many other things can also cause these signs and symptoms.
