What are the symptoms of cancer? How can someone diagnose if he has cancer?

by Symptom Advice on February 7, 2011

Just wondering what the symptoms of cancer are? how can a person recongnize if he/she might have cancer? is there any way you can tell in general?

What instructions/advices/recommendations could you give?

Additional info would be helpful!

Thanks!

Some cancers don't show symptoms until the cancer is in an advanced stage, like loosing weight for no reason, fatigue, just a few to name.
If you have a lump in your breast get it checked, if you have a mole that has changed get it checked, if you are coughing for a long time, get it checked, if you have bad headaches get it checked.
Get yearly physicals and your Doctor will send you for different tests according to your age. Like if you smoke you should get a chest x-ray every year. When you are 50 get a colonoscopy and a prostate check. When you are 40 get yearly mammograms.
Hope this helps.

Only a doctor can diagnose cancer…there are different symptoms for different types of cancers.

There are so many kinds of cancer. some linger for a long time before anyone would know. some symptoms are very general, like loss of appetite and pain. if you are worried, go see a doctor. i bet you get a clean bill of health.

there is no way to tell since there are so many different types of cancer, there is a cancer for pretty much everything in your body so they all have different symptoms. talk to a doctor or check a medical site for specific cancers.

If it is colon cancer and is in middle or late stages, you will tremendously lose weight and also will have stool problems.
