    Symptoms, Signs & Types

    1. Cancer Symptoms

      1. Early Signs of Cancer

        Pay attention to your body. Play it smart when you notice anything that could be a serious health problem, like cancer.

      2. Cancer Symptoms Women Ignore

        It’s a good idea to get any new symptoms checked out by your doctor. Some changes could be signs of cancer.

      3. Common Cancers and How to Spot Them

        Most people know of someone in their family who has been diagnosed with cancer. So it’s helpful to know cancer warning signs.

      4. Cancers That Metastasize to the Bones

        Bones, lungs, and the liver are the most common places for cancer cells to spread, or "metastasize."

      5. 5 Curable Cancers

        There are no guarantees concerning cancer recovery. But doctors are slowly starting to use another "C" word for cancer: "cure."

      6. Which Cancers Take the Most Lives?

        Do you know which cancers take the greatest toll, and most importantly, which ones you can get checked for?
