Cancer symptoms vary widely, and most new symptoms are not caused by cancer. Still, a persistent lump, unexplained bleeding, a change in bowel habits, difficulty swallowing or unexplained weight loss should be discussed with a doctor.
Symptoms alone cannot confirm cancer. A clinician can examine you and decide whether tests are needed. Seeking advice early can make diagnosis and treatment planning more straightforward.
