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 GP 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 that won't go away
• Unexplained weight loss
• A mole or skin spot that changes shape, size or colour
• Changes in your toilet habits
