16 warning signs of cancer

Sometimes, cancer begins its work silently. It makes no noise, it doesn't show itself obviously. Yet, certain small signs can already be warning signs.

  • Shortness of breath or wheezing  : often associated with asthma or poor health, they can also be a sign of lung cancer.
  • Frequent infections or recurring fevers  : some leukemias weaken the body's defenses, making infections more frequent.
  • Persistent fatigue  : a very general symptom, but when it is constant and unexplained, it is best to consult a doctor.
  • Feeling full quickly  : feeling satiated after a few bites may be linked to ovarian cancer.
  • Difficulty swallowing  : this can signal throat cancer, or even lung cancer.

    Some signs are more concrete and visible, but are often attributed to a simple temporary imbalance.
