In North Derbyshire, more people than average are being diagnosed with advanced cancer - and advanced cancer is much more difficult to treat. Help our area #BeCancerSafe by sharing this message - the sooner you catch cancer, the better.

Thankyou to everyone sharing the Ealy screening saves lives message, including @EMChamberNews
Raising awareness, encouraging others to recognise symptoms really can save a life. A social media share, a poster or a conversation may reach someone with symptoms!

It's #MensHealthWeek. On the whole, men are less likely to partake in bowel cancer screening (Data source @CR_UK )
This week we're encouraging anyone who has been sent a bowel cancer screening kit to complete the test.

Almost half UK adults can't name a symptom of bowel cancer, despite it being the 4th most common cancer. Knowing, and acting on them, means earlier diagnosis when it is more treatable and curable. Less than 40% of people are diagnosed early.
Change this and we save lives ❤️

Early diagnosis and detection of cancer is arguably the single most important way of saving more lives.
Great analysis here on the key areas of activity, challenges and what can be done to improve early diagnosis. bit.ly/2VhpJtY
