5 Early Signs of Cancer Growing in the Body

ADVERTISEMENT


Cancer is a life-threatening disease that often develops silently, with symptoms only appearing at an advanced stage. However, the body can show warning signs that, if recognized early, can lead to early detection and better treatment outcomes. While these symptoms don’t always indicate cancer, persistent and unexplained changes in the body should never be ignored.

Here are five early signs of cancer growth that require medical attention.

1. Unexplained weight loss

Sudden, unintentional weight loss of 5 kg or more without any changes in diet or exercise can be an early sign of cancer. This occurs because cancer cells alter the body’s metabolism, causing the body to burn more energy than usual.

Possible cancers linked to unexplained weight loss:

Stomach, pancreatic, or liver cancer (affecting digestion and metabolism)
Lung or esophageal cancer (interfering with swallowing and appetite)
Blood cancers (leukemia, lymphoma) (affecting metabolism and immune function)
If you experience persistent weight loss without a clear reason, see a doctor for evaluation.

2. Persistent fatigue and weakness

Feeling constantly exhausted even after adequate rest can be a warning sign of cancer. Unlike normal fatigue, cancer-related fatigue is persistent, severe, and does not improve with sleep or rest.
