Early detection saves lives. Know the warning signs, understand the types, and when to seek expert help.
These symptoms don't always mean cancer — but they should never be ignored. Seek a specialist evaluation if you experience any of the following.
Blood in urine, stools, or vomit; unusual vaginal bleeding; easy bruising or bleeding gums.
Unintentional loss of more than 5% of body weight over 6 months or less, without any change in diet or exercise.
Fever lasting more than 2 weeks without an obvious infection — common in blood cancers.
Severe tiredness that doesn't improve with rest — especially combined with paleness.
Painless lumps in the neck, armpits, or groin that persist for more than 4 weeks.
Cough lasting more than 3 weeks, especially if accompanied by blood or hoarseness.
