Find Cancer Early resources
The Find Cancer Early campaign has developed resources aimed to increase awareness of the early signs and symptoms of skin, bowel, lung, prostate and breast cancer in people aged over 40 years living in regional Western Australia.
The campaign encourages people to find cancer early and tell their doctor without delay. As well as increasing symptom awareness, the campaign aims to break down some of the barriers and myths to seeking help.
Find Cancer Early promotes the message that the earlier cancer is found, the greater the chance of successful treatment.
Although these resources target regional people whose cancer outcomes aren’t as good as those living in Perth, the message of finding cancer early is still relevant to metropolitan people.
Other resources
