A member asked:
Could you tell me what generally comes first with cancer - weight loss or fever?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Either could happen first but i see weight loss in my patients with advanced cancer more often than fever. We see fever in cases of infection (obviously) or some malignancies like lymphoma.
