Most people know a friend, family member, or acquaintance who has been diagnosed with cancer. You most likely have heard that the earlier cancer is discovered, the sooner treatment can begin. In other words, it’s important to know the most common cancers and their warning signs.

There are over 100 types of this disease, and some are more common than others, depending on factors like your gender, age, and ethnic or racial group. (For instance, breast cancer is more common in women, while prostate cancer only affects men.)

Don’t forget that many forms of cancer are asymptomatic in their early stages. Also, if you do experience some symptoms, they could be related to other conditions, so you’ll need several tests to find out the cause.

Without further ado, here are some silent signs for every major type of cancer!
