Researchers are claiming that there are some ten symptoms that might mean you have cancer, symptoms to which we all should pay close attention.
Cancer researchers in the United Kingdom have created this list of “red flag” symptoms you should know about.
Experts advise if you or a member of your family is suffering at least one of these 10 red flag symptoms, book an appointment with a doctor immediately:
Persistent cough or hoarseness – could indicate lung cancer
A change in the appearance of a mole – could mean you’re suffering skin cancer
A persistent change in bowel habits – could be a sign of bowel cancer
A sore that does not heal – depends on where, a mouth ulcer could mean mouth cancer
Persistent difficulty swallowing – can mean a person is suffering oesophageal cancer
Unexplained weight loss – can indicate several types of cancer
Persistent change in bladder habits – could be a sign of bladder cancer and prostate cancer in men
An unexplained lump – can be a warning sign of many forms of the disease
Persistent unexplained pain – depending on where, can denote many types of cancer
Unexplained bleeding – depends where but can mean bowel, cervical or vulval cancer
