Cancer Symptoms Your Doctor Should Hear About: What to Tell Your Clinician
Why early symptoms matter in cancer detection Early detection improves outcomes for many cancers. Yet, data from national cancer registries show that a sizable share of cancers are still diagnosed after they have spread. This makes awareness of early, telltale signs essential for patients and their healthcare providers. When a patient reports specific, persistent symptoms,…
