On World Cancer Day, it's important to be aware of general signs of cancer that may manifest while eating, such as difficulty swallowing, loss of appetite, persistent indigestion or heartburn, bloating, and changes in bowel habits. These symptoms, while not specific to cancer, should not be ignored and prompt a visit to the GP for further evaluation.
World Cancer Day is celebrated on February 4 every year to raise awareness about the global impact of cancer. With cancer cases on the rise, early detection is crucial for survival. The 2024 theme, "Together, we challenge those in power," emphasizes the need for leaders to prioritize and invest in cancer prevention and care. Common types of cancer, risk factors, and signs and symptoms are highlighted to promote understanding and prevention efforts.
