A member asked:
Can you tell me in person, how do normal everyday cancer risings look?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Screening: A majority of cancers can be detected with screening (mammography, PSA testing/prostate exam, and colonoscopy), and therefore no symptoms prompt the diagnosis. When symptoms do present, they are usually specific to the tumor location such as a breast mass (breast ca), coughing/coughing blood (lung ca), seizure (brain ca),etc. Generalized symptoms can include fatigue, weight loss, fevers/chills.
