Many causes!: Itching is a nonspecific symptom that is a feature of many problems, like dry skin/eczema, allergies, liver problems, and yes, even cancer. However, to sort through the huge list if possibilities you need to see your doctor, who can do a complete history and physical exam.

Itching: I would think of more common causes of itching before i would think of cancer. See your primary care doc and find the cause.
