Step1
Schedule preventative appointments. Early detection is essential to controlling cancer. In particular, make appointments for cancers that are common in your gender, race or age range.
Step2
Educate yourself. Attend seminars or read the latest news on the various types of cancer. Having knowledge of signs and symptoms may be what can save your life.
