Unexplained weight loss

Question

Asked for Male, 34 Years

Hi I have been having unexplained weight loss for quite sometime. I got blood tests done CBC etc all were normal. Also Endoscopy as well as CT of chest and Abdomen came out as normal. My gastro doctor told me there is no physical problem as per the reports. Since my CTs and Endoscopy came out all normal can cancer be safely ruled out?
