Unexplained Weight Loss
Have you lost 10 pounds (4.5 kilograms) or more in the past six months without any changes in diet or exercise? Sudden weight loss is a strong indication of several types of cancers including colorectal cancer.
The weight loss is caused by blockages in the colon or your immune system burning too much energy to fight the disease or the cancerous tumor using up excessive amounts of the body’s energy supply or all of the above.
Don’t wait for further symptoms to show up; book an appointment with your physician.
