Which of the following best describes three common warning signs of cancer?
  1. Weakness and fatigue, weight loss, and inflammation of the joints.
  2. Sores that do not heal, unusual bleeding, and the appearance or thickening of a lump on the body.
  3. Severe headaches, sensitivity to light, and cataract formation.
  4. Painful muscle spasms, persistent periods of nausea and vomiting, and feeling of pressure in the chest.
Explanation
Correct Response: B. There are several general warning signs of cancer. These include sores that do not heal, unusual bleeding, and the appearance or thickening of a lump on the body. Although weakness, fatigue, and weight loss (A) are associated with some forms of cancer, inflammation of the joints is not a common cancer warning sign. Severe headaches can indicate some forms of cancer, but sensitivity to light and cataract formation (C) generally do not. Persistent nausea and vomiting (D) is associated with some forms of cancer. However, painful muscle spasms and pressure in the chest generally are not.
