What are the signs that indicate the need for cancer screening?

There are several signs that may indicate the need for cancer screening. Unexplained weight loss, persistent fatigue, changes in bowel or bladder habits, or unusual bleeding can all be red flags. For South Asian women, changes in breast tissue or unusual lumps should prompt a discussion with a GP. Additionally, if you have a family history of cancer, especially in first-degree relatives, it’s essential to communicate this to your healthcare provider. Early detection is key, so don’t ignore any concerning symptoms. The NHS encourages individuals to advocate for their health by seeking timely screenings.
