Blood traces in urine or feces. Dark colored feces, especially after the age of 40. Bleeding from the female genital organs in the period in between their menstrual cycle or after sexual intercourse.
Genital bleeding in the menopause period.

6. The appearance of palpable nodules (in the form of a bump), or the hardening of tissues, especially those localized in the breast.

These are the 6 'Alarm' signs, known to warn the beginning of cancer. In most of the cases these signs have other causes, unrelated to cancer, but if they continue for a period longer than 2 weeks, you should consult your doctor. Do not forget that a cancer discovered in time and treated as it should, has a big possibility to be totally cured.
