Cancer is a condition where cells in a specific part of the body grow and reproduce uncontrollably. The cancerous cells can invade and destroy surrounding healthy tissue, including organs. 1 in 2 people will develop some form of cancer during their lifetime.

Changes to your body's normal processes or unusual, unexplained symptoms can sometimes be an early sign of cancer. But in many cases your symptoms will not be related to cancer and will be caused by other, non-cancerous health conditions.

Making some simple changes to your lifestyle can significantly reduce your risk of developing cancer. For example:

• Healthy eating
• Taking regular exercise
• Not smoking
