Spotting cancer at an early stage means that treatment is more likely to be successful. It is important to know the signs and symptoms of cancer and to contact a GP or healthcare professional if something does not seem right.

Screening aims to detect early stages of disease or prevent disease occurring. Screening is a process of identifying apparently healthy people who may be at increased risk of a disease or condition; they can then be offered information, further tests and appropriate treatment to reduce their risk and/or any complications arising from the disease or condition.
People in Wales, who are registered with a doctor are invited to take part in three national cancer screening programmes, Bowel, Breast and Cervical Cancer Screening. Cancer screening is offered to the people who are most likely to benefit from it.
