People should not ignore signs of cancer during Covid-19 crisis says Doctors

The HSE says the number of cancer referrals by GPs dropped by more than a half since the outbreak of Covid-19.

Dr Una Kennedy, from the National Cancer Control Programme, says "We are concerned that there are people out there with symptoms who for various reasons are not presenting to GPs."

A new lump or bump, changes on your skin, or unexpected weight loss.

They are among the signs or symptoms of cancer that need to be brought to your doctor's attention, according to the Health Service Executive (HSE).
