For self-examinations, men should focus on areas like the testicles, skin, oral cavity, and lymph nodes. Men should look for unusual lumps, changes in skin moles, sores that won't heal, and swollen glands.
Women should examine their breasts, skin, oral cavity, and lymph nodes, looking for lumps or changes in breast tissue, changes in moles or new skin lesions, sores in the mouth that don't heal, and swollen glands.
Both men and women should also pay attention to general changes in health and seek medical advice if they notice anything unusual.
