The body temperature usually ranges from 37.5 to 38 degrees Celsius. In many cases, cancer fever is often the first symptom, followed by tumor enlargement; antibacterial and anti-allergic drugs have no significant effect in cancer fever, but the fever can be reduced after applying anti-cancer drugs.

In addition, drug reactions, autoimmune diseases, insufficient secretion of adrenocortical hormones or cancer itself can cause fever. It is worth noting that many diseases are associated with fever and other symptoms, and even in the high-risk group of cancer, a fever does not necessarily mean cancer.
