The new NHS plan may include warnings about cancer symptoms on toilet roll and underwear packaging.

In an effort to improve early diagnosis rates and save lives, the NHS is exploring the possibility of adding warning labels to toilet paper and underwear. Discussions with supermarkets and manufacturers are underway to add advice on cervical, bowel, and other types of cancer to product labels. Tesco is reportedly one of the early chains taking part in these talks. The four most common types of cancer in the UK are breast, prostate, bowel, and lung cancer, which account for around 50% of all diagnoses. An estimated 167,000 people die from cancer each year across the country. Companies like Marks & Spencer and Andrex have already pledged to add bowel cancer symptoms and information to their products. Early diagnosis is critical in treating cancer, and the NHS is working with external partners to increase awareness and save lives. The move has been praised by cancer campaigners and healthcare professionals alike in the UK.
