What are the Symptoms of Cancer?

Cancer causes various changes in the body, as it grows and finally shows its symptoms. Cancer can affect the body in various ways, for example-

·         It can cause a lump in the affected area

·         It can press the tissues or organs or even can stop them from proper functioning

·         It can also produce substances that can change the body functioning.

The person having cancer may notice the above mentioned changes in his/her body. The symptoms of cancer are the problems which a person can face such as tiredness, notice a lump, fatigue, having pain etc.

 Notifying the symptoms of cancer

There are some cancers that cause symptoms at early stage, whereas others do not cause symptoms until it has grown to maximum. The cancers that detected at early stage are easy to treat. The cancer symptoms depend on the type of it. For example-

·         Symptom of breast cancer can be a lump in breast

·         Symptom of bowel cancer can be noticed from diarrhea or constipation

·         Cough can be a symptom of lung cancer

If you are also facing these problem (cough, diarrhea, constipation or lump etc.), it does not mean that these are the symptoms caused by cancer. Rather you should go to a doctor and do tests to confirm whether the symptom is caused by a cancer or it is just because of normal illness.
