Sepsis and Cancer

What Are the Symptoms of Cancer?

Signs and symptoms of cancer depend on where the cancer is. As the organ is invaded by cancer cells or the cancer spreads, the signs may start. For example, colon cancer (cancer in the bowels) may not be noticed until you:

  • Start losing weight
  • Experience either diarrhea or constipation more than usual for you
  • Become very fatigued
  • Experience nausea and vomiting
  • Stop eating because of lack appetite

As you can see, the symptoms are similar to what could be for many other illnesses, so cancer may not be automatically suspected.
