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 p*e, poo, or between periods)
Heartburn that lasts for three weeks or more
