Cancer isn't the only solvable problem which could get ignored if headaches are handled as a minor problem which will go away on their own.

Yeah, but the other ones also get ignored if you assume it's cancer. To my knowledge, they have to be individually tested for. If none is worth testing for individually, it's best to ignore the headaches.
