The Public Health Agency launched the first phase of the Be Cancer Aware campaign in 2015 to highlight the importance of being aware of the general signs and symptoms of cancer, and to encourage anyone who notices any unexplained changes to their body to make an appointment with their GP. This is important as the earlier cancer is detected the easier it is to treat. The Be Cancer Aware campaign included television, radio, press and digital advertising througout Northern Ireland.
The Public Health Agency launched a major mass media advertising campaign aimed at raising awareness of the signs and symptoms of breast cancer. This was the second in a series of Be Cancer Aware campaigns.
The Be Cancer Aware campaign focusing on lung cancer featured mass media advertising throughout Northern Ireland. The campaign highlighted why if you have been coughing for three weeks or more, it is important to talk to your GP as cancer is more treatable when it is found early.
