Cancer Symptoms

Breast cancer

Symptoms of breast cancer include a lump in the breast, bloody discharge from the nipple and changes in the shape or texture of the nipple or breast.

Prostate cancer

Symptoms include difficulty with urination, but sometimes there are no symptoms at all.

Basal cell cancer

This cancer typically appears as a white waxy lump or a brown scaly patch on sun-exposed areas, such as the face and neck.

Melanoma

Symptoms might include a new, unusual growth or a change in an existing mole. Melanomas can occur anywhere on the body.

Colon cancer

Colorectal cancer symptoms depend on the size and location of the cancer. Some commonly experienced symptoms include changes in bowel habits, changes in stool consistency, blood in the stool and abdominal discomfort.

Lung cancer

Symptoms include cough (often with blood), chest pain, wheezing and weight loss. These symptoms often don't appear until the cancer is advanced.

Many patients with slow-growing types of leukaemias don't have symptoms. Rapidly growing types of leukaemia may cause symptoms that include fatigue, weight loss, frequent infections and easy bleeding or bruising.
