The development of cancer is an insidious process that may take many years and, in its earliest stages, may produce little more than minor discomfort. This is why many people in India are diagnosed at an advanced stage, when treatment becomes more difficult. However, the body usually gives warning signs that should not be ignored. Understanding these early cancer symptoms and knowing when diagnostic tests can help makes early detection possible.

World Cancer Day takes place on February 4 each year to promote public awareness relating to cancer, encourage cancer prevention and facilitate early diagnosis and provide support for people affected by cancer. Cancer is more than just a health concern; it also has social, emotional and financial implications on millions of individuals and families across the globe.

Cancer can be a serious outcome of many risk factors, including many environmental, genetic, and lifestyle issues. Most cancers cannot be prevented entirely; however, many can be avoided by making better choices in your daily life and changing your lifestyle. Making healthy lifestyle choices can help protect and decrease the amount of cancer you may develop.
