Cancer - Health tips
Centrum tip – Know the early signs of cancer
Last updated: Wednesday, January 16, 2008
Certain types of cancer have almost no warning signs. There are others, though, that have very specific signs and symptoms. Taking note of these, and acting on them, could make a vast difference in terms of recovery and survival.

Take action:
Watch out for: growths or tumours – these should be checked out immediately, as time is of the essence; exhaustion and localised pain – both signs of internal tumours; an unexplained change in how your body functions, e.g. sudden headaches, unexplained blood in your stools or localised discomfort over a number of days; a mole that changes shape or colour.

Have these signs and symptoms checked out. Remember, a false alarm is always preferable to traumatic intervention.
