Malignant tumors can develop anywhere in the body – and manifest themselves in different ways. Some warning signs can appear right at dinner.

The tricky thing about cancer is that sometimes the disease is asymptomatic or the signs are misunderstood or even overlooked. It is therefore important to be aware of the most common symptoms.
The British cancer charity Macmillan Cancer Support is committed to increasing awareness and is currently pointing out that certain cancer warning signs can be observed particularly when eating. Dinner in particular is an important time to look out for unusual symptoms. According to the experts, these mainly include these three warning signs:

The experts at Macmillan Cancer Support stress that changes in stool should also be examined by a doctor if they last longer than three weeks. Symptoms that should be taken seriously include:
Stomach and intestinal complaints are often underestimated. Many assume that they are caused by too much stress, heavy food or intolerance. Such symptoms can also occur with other, benign intestinal diseases. Ultimately, however, they should always be clarified with the help of tests such as a stool test or a colonoscopy.
