12 Early Warning Signs Your Body May Be Developing Cancer Cells

Trouble swallowing food, feeling like something is stuck in your throat, or frequent choking could be related to cancers of the esophagus or throat.

9. Frequent Infections or Slow Healing

If your immune system is compromised by cancer cells, wounds take longer to heal and infections occur more often. Leukemia and blood-related cancers often show this symptom.

10. Abnormal Bleeding or Discharge

Unexpected bleeding—such as coughing up blood, blood in urine, or unusual vaginal bleeding—should never be ignored. This is a common early sign of cancers in reproductive organs, bladder, or digestive tract.
