THE state’s peak cancer organisation is running its Find Cancer Early program, encouraging those in regional WA over the age of 40 to make their health a priority in the new year.
As part of the program, launched to improve cancer outcomes for regional Western Australians, Cancer Council WA is urging people to familiarise themselves with cancer symptoms.
Cancer Council WA’s South West regional education officer Shenae Norris said it was important to be symptom aware and participate in population screening.
“It’s best to find out what’s going on early and get onto any recommended treatment.”
Ms Norris urged those who have experienced changes in their normal bodily functions to seek medical advice.
