Cancer

Symptoms

Cancer symptoms vary depending on the type of cancer, and the size and location of a tumor.

Symptoms and warning signs of cancer include:

  • Skin changes like dark, itchy or red patches. Jaundice may happen, where the skin and eyes become yellow.
  • Extreme fatigue/tiredness that doesn’t get better with rest
  • Fever and pain
  • Loss of appetite and unexplained weight loss
  • Night sweats
  • Abnormal bleeding, like red blood in stool or dark black stools
Never ignore an unusual symptom. This is very important if the symptom has lasted for a while, or is getting worse. Get checked by a healthcare professional as soon as you can. If you do have cancer, the earlier treatment begins, the better.
