Details

This study is trying to learn more about what people think and do when they notice a change or a new symptom in their body. This study is supported by Cancer Research UK.

Generally, the earlier a cancer is found the more likely it can be treated successfully. But research shows that some people who notice a symptom do not go to see their doctor straight away because they are worried about what might be found.
