Our bodies often signal when something is wrong, and can.cer is no exception. While many symptoms might seem minor or easily explained, they can sometimes be early indicators of a more serious health issue. Here are 20 common signs that may suggest the presence of can.cer, yet are frequently overlooked.
1. Shortness of Breath
Persistent breathlessness could indicate lung can.cer and shouldn’t be ignored.
2. Chest Pain During Coughing
If coughing brings sharp pain in the chest, especially radiating to the shoulders and arms, it may be mistaken for bronchitis, but could be a sign of lung can.cer or leukemia.
3. Frequent Fever and Infections
Recurring fevers or infections may point to leukemia, as can.cerous blood cells weaken the immune system.
4. Trouble Swallowing
Difficulty when swallowing could be related to the throat, esophageal, or even lung can.cer.
5. Enlarged Lymph Nodes
Swollen lymph nodes in the neck, underarms, or groin could be a sign of lymphoma or other can.cers affecting the lymphatic system.
6. Unexplained Bruising or Bleeding
Unusual bruising or bleeding might suggest a platelet issue caused by leukemia, which can also reduce oxygen circulation.

7. Chronic Fatigue or Weakness
While tiredness is common, persistent fatigue—especially when paired with other symptoms—can be linked to various types of can.cer.
8. Abdominal Bloating
Ongoing belly swelling could be a sign of ovarian can.cer.
