Increasing the number of people who are diagnosed with cancer earlier is important in improving survival rates from all types of cancers. You can get involved with public awareness campaigns highlighted on this website as well as projects that aim to improve earlier diagnosis.
The 'small c' campaign is coordinated by North Central London Cancer Alliance and North East London Cancer Alliance. The Alliances bring together healthcare organisations across this area of London to improve early cancer diagnosis, cancer outcomes and care for patients.
Early diagnosis of cancer can lead to treatment that can save lives. Cancer that’s diagnosed at an early stage, before it has spread is more likely to be treated successfully. Find out more about spotting cancer early here.
Taking advantage of regular cancer screening programmes available to you can significantly improve the chances of catching any cancers in their early, and therefore more easily treatable, stages. There are three types of cancer screening for adults in England, breast, bowel and cervical. Find out more here.
YouScreen is a research study that will offer women and people with a cervix in north and east London the opportunity to take a self-sample for cervical screening. Click here to find out more about taking part.
