Symptoms of cancer
In general, the earlier the cancer is detected the better chance of cure. Some of the most common symptoms of cancer are:

• A lump
• An ulcer, which does not heal
• Blood in the stool
  
  

These symptoms can often be signs of diseases other than cancer. Remember though, that it is always important to go to the doctor to be examined for these symptoms.

At a screening, a certain population is examined for signs of a particular disease.  Read about: Screening for cervical cancer  Screening for breast cancer  Screening for colon cancer		Brochures about cancer Most people become shocked when diagnosed with cancer.

The Danish health care system

The Danish public health care system, in general, offers free examination if you become ill or if you need a preventative examination. Most treatments are free or subsidised. Every citizen in Denmark is assigned to a General Practitioner, who can be contacted in the case of illness.

In the brochure you can read more about the Danish health care system and about the free screening programs for breast cancer and cervical cancer.
