To detect cancer early there are two things you can do
- Complete Physical Exam
- Have a check-up. See your doctor promptly if you notice any changes.
- Attend a screening program if it’s recommended for you.
Check-ups – Why should I have a check up and when?
- Most cancers can be detected in the early stages, when they’re easier to treat if the symptoms are noticed.
- It is important for people of all ages to have a check up from your Consultant / Physician when you notice anything unusual or have any concerns.
- Know what is normal for you so that you can quickly identify when there are changes.
Things to look out for are:
- Lumps or sores that don’t heal (like an ulcer in your mouth)
- Coughs or hoarseness of voice that won’t go away
- Unexplained weight loss
- A mole or skin spot that changes shape, size or colour
- Changes in your toilet habits
