Common symptoms of cancer can include unexplained weight loss, persistent fatigue, unusual lumps, or changes in the skin. However, these are often caused by common, non-cancerous conditions. Treatments depend on the cancer type and stage. They primarily include surgery, radiation, and medications. Medical treatments include chemotherapy (like cisplatin), targeted therapy, immunotherapy (like pembrolizumab), and hormone therapy (like tamoxifen). Many cancers are highly treatable today, especially when detected early. If you have any unusual or persistent symptoms, please consult your doctor for a proper evaluation.
