Introduction
Cancer is a life-threatening disease that often develops silently, with symptoms appearing only in advanced stages. However, the body may show early warning signs that, if recognized in time, can lead to early detection and better treatment outcomes. While these symptoms don’t always mean 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 10 pounds or more without changes in diet or exercise could 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, consult a doctor for evaluation.
