To remember the seven early warning signs of cancer, think of the word CAUTION:

C ~ Change in bowel or bladder habits.

...

A ~ A sore that does not heal.

U ~ Unusual bleeding or discharge from a body orifice.

T ~ Thickening or lump in the breast, testicles, or elsewhere.

I ~ Indigestion or difficulty swallowing.

O ~ Obvious change in the size, colour, shape, or thickness of a wart, mole, or mouth sore.

N ~Nagging cough or hoarseness.

The following symptoms may also indicate the presence of some form of cancer:

* Coughing-up blood
* Persistent headaches
* Unexplained loss of weight or appetite
* Chronic pain in bones
* Persistent fatigue, nausea, or vomiting
* Persistent low-grade fever, either constant or intermittent
* Repeated instances of infection

Seek medical advice about cancer if:

You develop symptoms that may indicate cancer, that are not clearly linked to another cause, and persist for more than two to three weeks. You should arrange to have a medical examination. If the cause of your symptoms is cancer, early diagnosis and treatment will offer a better chance of being cured. UcenterDress high low asymmetrical wears
