2.6 Swollen Lymph Nodes
Swollen lymph nodes are often caused by infections such as a sore throat or cold. However, they may also swell due to leukemia, lymphoma, or metastasis from other cancers.
2.7 Blood in Urine or Stool
Blood in the stool may be caused by hemorrhoids but can also indicate colorectal cancer. Likewise, blood in urine may suggest a urinary tract infection or cancers of the prostate, kidney, or bladder. In either case, medical attention is recommended.

Men should be concerned if they notice a painless lump or swelling in the testicles. This is a common symptom of testicular cancer, often accompanied by a heavy feeling in the scrotum or lower abdomen, or an enlarged scrotum.
