Lung cancer screening

There are now pilot lung cancer screening programmes in selected areas of England called Targeted Lung Health Checks. These checks are currently available to people aged 55-74 who have ever smoked and registered with a participating GP practice in the area.

I almost didn’t go for my lung health check. It was Christmas. I was very busy and felt well. But thank goodness I changed my mind because, without it, who knows what could have happened.
Sandra, diagnosed with stage 1 lung cancer through screening
