1 -- There are several physical and psychologic effects that occur in a patient diagnosed with cancer. Some of these effects include hyperglycemia, nephrotic syndrome, body image concerns, altered taste and smell, deep vein thrombosis, decreased leukocytes, grief, anorexia-cachexia syndrome, increased intracranial pressure, isolation, and acute or chronic pain. Increased leukocytes, hypoglycemia, and decreased intracranial pressure are not effects of cancer.
