Unintentional Weight Loss
Weight loss tends to be something that people celebrate, and even complement others on. It can be excellent for your health and appearance, and can be a great accomplishment. However, if you have lost more than ten pounds with no diet or exercise changes you should make an appointment with your doctor.
Unintentional weight loss and changes in appetite can be a sign of many cancers, but this happens most often with pancreatic, stomach, esophageal, and lung cancers; and is especially common with lymphoma and leukemia.
