Can cancer cause severe edema? if so what kind of cancers can cause you to retain fluid. all other tests were normal. i need help.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Generalized edema is due to low Albumin levels in the serum and not frequently seen with cancer. Edema of the extremities can be caused by cancer in the pelvis obstruction the return flow of blood from pressure on in iliac vessels. This js a more frequent finding.
