Symptoms

Spotting the signs of cancer

Changes to your body’s normal processes or unusual, unexplained symptoms can sometimes be an early sign of cancer. 

Symptoms that need to be checked by a doctor include: 

• a lump that suddenly appears on your body 
• unexplained bleeding 
• changes to your bowel habit 
• Unexplained weight loss 

But in many cases, your symptoms will not be related to cancer and will be caused by other, non-cancerous health conditions.
