With half of UK adults not seeing their GP until at least six months after spotting early cancer signs, doctors have warned of the red flags to look out for.
A recent survey by Cancer Research found that just 48% of adults admitted they would see a doctor within weeks of noticing early signs of the disease, even for coughing up blood or an unexplained lump.
Now, as fears and waiting lists grow, doctors hare unveiled a list of some of the early signs often seen in patients before a cancer diagnosis - including tiredness.
