Unexplained Weight Loss
Unexplained and sudden (over 6 months or fewer) weight loss can be a symptom of endometrial cancer, particularly when the cancer has reached more advanced stages. While it is not one of the most common symptoms associated with endometrial cancer, it can occur as the cancer progresses and affects the body’s metabolism and overall health.
Cancerous cells can alter the body’s metabolism, unintentionally causing the affected person to lose weight. The cancer may consume energy and nutrients, leading to weight loss even when the individual is not trying to lose weight. Advanced endometrial cancer can lead to a loss of appetite or changes in taste preferences, resulting in anorexia (anorexia (loss of appetite) and weight loss.
