Mesothelioma cancer
See your GP if you notice a change that isn't normal for you. Or if you have any of the possible signs and symptoms of mesothelioma.
Your GP should arrange for you to have an urgent chest x-ray or to see a specialist if you have symptoms that could be due to mesothelioma.
Screening means testing people for early stages of an illness before they have any symptoms. There is no UK screening programme for mesothelioma.
You usually have a number of tests to check whether you have mesothelioma, how big the cancer is and whether it has spread.
