Cancer symptoms: Five signs you should be looking out for during coronavirus lockdown

  • April 26, 2020
  • SafeHomeDIY

Cancer symptoms are important to recognise to ensure early diagnosis and a better chance of survival. While symptoms linked to cancer are often caused by other, non-cancerous illnesses, it’s still important to contact your GP so they can investigate.

It should be noted at this time, as part of the UK’s current lockdown measures to prevent further spread of coronavirus, people should ring their GP surgery rather than visit and request a call back from their doctor.

So what are the signs and symptoms of cancer to look out for? American Cancer Society lists five general signs to look out for.

Unexplained weight loss

Most people with cancer will lose weight at some point, according to the health site.

It explains: “When you lose weight for no known reason, it’s called an unexplained weight loss.

“An unexpected weight loss of 10 pounds or more may be the first sign of cancer.

“This happens most often with cancers of the pancreas, stomach, oesophagus or lung.”

Fever

Fever is the one of the main symptoms of coronavirus, but it’s also very common with cancer.

American Cancer Society says it more often happens after cancer has spread from where it started.

DON’T MISS

It says: “Almost all people with cancer will have fever at some time, especially if the cancer or its treatment affects the immune system. (This can make it harder for the body to fight infection.)

“Less often, fever may be an early sign of cancer, such as blood cancers like leukaemia or lymphoma.”

Fatigue

Fatigue, a term used to describe extreme tiredness that doesn’t get better with rest, may be an imprint symptoms as cancer grows.

The site explains: “It may happen early in some cancers, like leukaemia.
