Early signs may include a hard pea-sized lump, slight swelling in one testicle and a feeling of heaviness in the groin or scrotum. So, how do you detect testicular cancer. Simply by examining yourself monthly. Roll each testicle gently between the thumb and fingers of both hands. If a lump is found see your health care provider as soon as possible.
Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths among women.
The most common sign is a lump or thickening of the breast tissue. Other signs to look for are redness or soreness of the skin, swelling, dimpling or puckering of the skin or nipple. The best time to examine your breasts is after your period. Lie down and place a pillow under the shoulder of the breast you are examining and place that arm behind your head. With the finger pads of the opposite hand, feel for lumps or thickenings.
