hi.
any type of cancer could produce those systemic symptomatologies that you enumerated especially if the lab works/ancillary studies done are all normal. it is your body reacting to the changes in your body brought about by the cancer itself. i advise you to have a close follow-up with your doctor. treatment for this constitutional symptoms secondary to malignancy are usually symptomatic.
hope this helps.
good day!!
