People often talk about cancer as just one disease, but there are more than 100 different types of cancer. And every cancer case is unique. Some cancers have no symptoms, especially in the early stages. Other cancers give clues about what’s going on inside your body.
If you’re concerned about symptoms you’re experiencing, don't ignore them. For example, bright red blood after a bowel movement can be from rectal bleeding — a common symptom of colon cancer. Early signs of skin cancer include changes in the shape, color, or size of moles or lesions. If you notice something that’s not normal for you, get it checked so your doctor can guide you through next steps.
