According to a U.K. study, beware of persistent symptoms that could be a warning sign of cancer. These signs include:
1. Persistent cough or hoarseness - lung cancer
2. A change in the appearance of a mole - skin cancer
3. A persistent change in bowel habits - bowel cancer
4. A sore that does not heal - depends on where
5. Persistent difficulty swallowing - oesophageal cancer
6. Unexplained weight loss - several types of cancer
7. Persistent change in bladder habits - bladder cancer and prostate cancer in men
8. An unexplained lump - can be one of many forms
9. Persistent unexplained pain - depends on where
10. Unexplained bleeding - depends where but can mean bowel, cervical or vulval cancer
Our bodies immune response normally handles abnormalities quickly. So persistence or an abnormal symptom is the problem.
