Mouth Cancer: Health Education
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he is taking to increase awareness of the (a) signs and (b) symptoms of mouth cancer.
Answered by Ashley Dalton
NHS England runs Help Us Help You campaigns in England to increase knowledge of cancer symptoms and to address barriers to acting on them, to encourage people to come forward as soon as possible to see their general practitioner. The campaigns focus on a range of symptoms, as well as encouraging body awareness, to help people spot symptoms across a wide range of cancers at an earlier point.
NHS England and other National Health Service organisations, nationally and locally, publish information on the signs and symptoms of many different types of cancer, including mouth cancer. This information can be found at sources like the NHS.UK website, which is available at the following link:
