Is frequent bruising a sign of cancer?

Answer by  dedre (998)

Frequent bruising can be a sign of cancer. However, it is more common that a person would have anemia. This is where the blood level is low and requires more iron in the body. It is important to have all testing done prior to concluding that cancer is involved.

No. You may be b-deficient or anemic. Tho it may be a sign of leukemia, it IS a heads up that you need to see your doctor for evaluation.

Frequent bruising can be a symptom of cancer, although there are many less severe conditions that can cause frequent bruising; so don't be too alarmed if you are someone who bruises easily. Some people are more genetically prone to bruising.
