A member asked:

Carcinomas (colon, esophageal, stomach cancers) cause a fever?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not usually: Fever is often a symptom of certain cancers, such as lymphomas, but not often of carcinomas. It is possible, however. More often, depressed immunity from cancer or cancer treatment leads to an infection which causes fever.
