British doctors believe that 1000 people die quite unnecessarily, just because because they are afraid to mention the symptoms of his cancer doctor. For example, a quarter of the tested Britons fear that if the symptoms mentioned only in vain would spend time doctor.
Cancer Research UK survey suggests that 40% of those attending the doctor is delayed because of fears that the doctor could determine the symptoms of cancer. But it was this early diagnosis is one of the most important factors for successful treatment. Moreover, many do not even know what symptoms would be indicative of cancer.
Pay attention to changes in body
Professor Peter Johnson of Cancer Research UK said: "This suggests that people need to better explain the signs of cancer. If cancer is diagnosed at an early stage, the greater chance for successful treatment."
More than three quarters of tested the doctor did not mention symptoms such as pain, cough, or problems with the stomach or intestines, although they may be indicative of cancer.
"The best measure of protection is to pay attention to any deviation in the functions of any body changes. If it is something new and unusual, contact your doctor." Said prof. Johnson.
