Drastic, Unexplained Weight Loss
Many people will jump for joy when they start losing weight. When it comes to sudden, drastic weight loss, though, it could potentially be a sign of cancer or something else. Unexplained weight loss in the double-digits is often an early symptom of cancer. Certain types of cancer, like esophagus, pancreatic, throat, lung and stomach, will come with other problems like feelings of fullness, nausea, and difficulty swallowing, which causes weight loss. Colon cancer also contributes to contribute to unintentional weight loss.
