Signs and symptoms
Symptoms of cancer metastasis depend on the location of the tumor.
Roughly, cancer symptoms can be divided into three groups:
.^ Treatment with corticosteroid drugs to reduce swelling, pain, and other symptoms of inflammation.
^ They are also used to treat the symptoms of menopause, (such as hot flashes, vaginal dryness, or heavy and painful bleeding) and osteoporosis (loss of bone mass).- Dictionary of Cancer Terms - National Cancer Institute 19 January 2010 8:49 UTC cip.cancer.gov [Source type: Academic]
.^ It is being studied in the treatment of bone pain caused by cancer that has spread to the bone.
^ In stage IIB, cancer has spread to nearby lymph nodes and may have spread to nearby tissue and organs.
^ Lymph nodes may be enlarged and cancer may have spread to them.
Although advanced cancer may cause
pain, it is often not the first symptom.
Systemic symptoms: weight loss, poor appetite, fatigue and cachexia (wasting), excessive sweating (night sweats), anemia and specific paraneoplastic phenomena, i.e. specific conditions that are due to an active cancer, such as thrombosis or hormonal changes.
Every symptom in the above list can be caused by a variety of conditions (a list of which is referred to as the
differential diagnosis).

.^ This process is repeated until the last molecule is activated and the cell function involved is carried out.

^ In stage IVB, cancer has spread beyond the pelvis and pelvic lymph nodes to other places in the body, such as the abdomen, liver, intestinal tract, or lungs.
^ A biological molecule found in blood, other body fluids, or tissues that is a sign of a normal or abnormal process, or of a condition or disease.
.^ A substance that helps make more white blood cells, especially granulocytes, macrophages, and cells that become platelets.
For example, such environments can include the presence of disruptive substances called
carcinogens, or periodic injury (physical, heat, etc.), or environments that cells did not evolve to withstand, such as
hypoxia[5] (see subsections).
.^ Cancer that begins in the cells that line an organ.- Dictionary of Cancer Terms - National Cancer Institute 19 January 2010 8:49 UTC cip.cancer.gov [Source type: Academic]
^ A type of cancer that begins in the skin or in tissues that line or cover internal organs and that contains long spindle-shaped cells.
^ This process is repeated until the last molecule is activated and the cell function involved is carried out.
The errors which cause cancer are often self-amplifying, eventually compounding at an exponential rate. For example:
- A mutation in the error-correcting machinery of a cell might cause that cell and its children to accumulate errors more rapidly
- A mutation in signaling (endocrine) machinery of the cell can send error-causing signals to nearby cells
- A mutation might cause cells to become neoplastic, causing them to migrate and disrupt more healthy cells
- A mutation may cause the cell to become immortal (see telomeres), causing them to disrupt healthy cells forever
.^ Stage I is divided into stages I and IE. In stage I, cancer is found in one or more lymph nodes in one lymph node group.

There are, however, a number of recognised
syndromes where there is an inherited predisposition to cancer, often due to a defect in a gene that
protects against tumor formation. Famous examples are:
- certain inherited mutations in the genes BRCA1 and BRCA2 are associated with an elevated risk of breast cancer and ovarian cancer
- tumors of various endocrine organs in multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN types 1, 2a, 2b)
- Li-Fraumeni syndrome (various tumors such as osteosarcoma, breast cancer, soft tissue sarcoma, brain tumors) due to mutations of p53
- Turcot syndrome (brain tumors and colonic polyposis)
- Familial adenomatous polyposis an inherited mutation of the APC gene that leads to early onset of colon carcinoma.
- Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC, also known as Lynch syndrome) can include familial cases of colon cancer, uterine cancer, gastric cancer, and ovarian cancer, without a preponderance of colon polyps.
- Retinoblastoma, when occurring in young children, is due to a hereditary mutation in the retinoblastoma gene.
- Down syndrome patients, who have an extra chromosome 21, are known to develop malignancies such as leukemia and testicular cancer, though the reasons for this difference are not well understood.
