Definition of Cancer symptoms
Cancer symptoms: Abnormal sensations or conditions that
persons can notice that are a result of a cancer. It is important to see your doctor for
regular checkups and not wait for problems to occur. But you should also know that the
following symptoms may be associated with cancer: changes in bowel or bladder habits, a
sore that does not heal, unusual bleeding or discharge, thickening or lump in the breast
or any other part of the body, indigestion or difficulty swallowing, obvious change in a
wart or mole, or nagging cough or hoarseness. These symptoms are not always a sign of
cancer. They can also be caused by less serious conditions. Only a doctor can make a
diagnosis. It is important to see a doctor if you have any of these symptoms. Don't
wait to feel pain. Early cancer often does not cause pain.
