Many people in the UK still ignore symptoms or delay telling their GP about changes to their body
However, many people in the UK still ignore symptoms or delay telling their GP about changes to their body, which can often lead to leading to potentially devastating outcomes.
People from deprived backgrounds in particular, Dr Sharp said, face more barriers when it comes to getting help. 3. Unexplained weight loss There are, of course, many reasons for unexplained weight loss other than cancer, including gut and thyroid problems. But Sharp says that while small weight changes over time are normal, if you lose a noticeable amount of weight without trying to, you should tell your doctor.
7. Skin changes These can include a sore that won't heal, a new mole or changes to a mole's size, shape or colour, plus crustiness, itching or bleeding. Look at what doctors call the ABCDE Checklist to help you spot key changes. In addition, Sharp says any unusual change in a patch of skin or a nail should be checked by a doctor.
9. Hoarse voice, cough or breathlessness It's really common to have a hoarse voice if you've had a cold, but the NHS says if you're hoarse for more than three weeks you should see a doctor, as it's a possible sign of throat cancer.
