Losing weight without trying is one of the strongest signs of hidden cancer, but it is rarely measured. Automatic alerts from recorded weights could prompt a check-up.
Unexpected weight loss in primary care carries a 1-3% cancer risk within six months, higher with other signs, yet weights are recorded sporadically. Propose a primary-care algorithm, with opt-in consumer scale or wearable integration, that flags 5% or more unintentional loss over six months and prompts a structured blood-and-imaging check.
