Oncologist warns young adults not to ignore persistent cancer symptoms

Cancer can affect people in their 20s and 30s, but early signs are often missed because they are blamed on stress, poor sleep or busy schedules, says Dr Ankit Jain of Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals, New Delhi. He advises that persistent fatigue, unexplained weight loss or recurring discomfort be checked by a doctor, adding that age alone should not decide whether to seek medical advice.
