People living in regional Australia have lower rates of five year survival, for all cancers combined.

The Find Cancer Early program for regional Western Australians was created by Cancer Council WA to improve cancer outcomes for regional Western Australians by increasing cancer symptom awareness and encouraging people to visit their doctor, clinic nurse or Aboriginal health worker earlier.

We know that people are more likely to survive cancer if it’s found early. We also believe your postcode should not define your cancer outcome.

Explore the website to discover important information to help you identify potential early symptoms of bowel, breast, lung, prostate and skin cancer early, and learn what you need to do if you notice a symptom.

Adults of all ages are encouraged to explore the website to learn about 10 early symptoms of the 5 most common cancers in WA.

Symptom checklists for the most common cancers come in general and Aboriginal designs

Share this information with family, friends and colleagues over 40 so that they can Find Cancer Early for the best chance of successful treatment and survival.

Give yourself the best chance campaign
