Could you spot the signs?

The earlier cancer is found, the easier it is to treat. The NHS wants everyone to know the key symptoms to look out for, including:

  • A lump or swelling anywhere on the body
  • A cough or breathlessness lasting more than three weeks
  • Unexplained bleeding (in pee, poo, or between periods)
  • Heartburn that lasts for three weeks or more
  • Unexplained tiredness, pain, loss of appetite, or weight loss

Dr Sarah Taylor, a Manchester GP, explains:

“Most of the time, these symptoms aren’t cancer – but it’s always worth getting them checked. If it is cancer, catching it early makes all the difference. We want people to know that their GP is here for them.”
