Professor Sam Janes, Clinical Advisor for Lung Cancer

More men and more women die of lung cancer than any other cancer. Survival rates are currently low because it is detected late. The key for the future is to improve testing to allow early diagnosis of lung cancer and other cancers when they can be cured.

Why should I have a LungCheck?

Why should I have a LungCheck?

There are more than 47,000 lung cancers diagnosed each year in the UK. The chances of survival from lung cancer are extremely good if detected early but unfortunately many people present at a later stage by the time symptoms develop. So early detection is vital in protecting your health.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I use LungCheck?

If you are a past or current heavy smoker, with or without a close family history of lung cancer (parent, sibling, child), then LungCheck provides you with early detection screening before symptoms arise.  80% of all lung cancers are directly or indirectly connected with smoking. There is currently no NHS screening programme for lung cancer in the UK, however, there are clinical trials evaluating low dose CT scans. 

In the Scottish Lung Cancer Trial, for people with a strong smoking history +/- close family history of lung cancer, 41% of those who received the EarlyCDT-Lung blood test were diagnosed with early stage lung cancer . The survival of people with early stage lung cancer is much better than those diagnosed at a later stage.

  • If you receive an abnormal test result, you will be referred for a CT scan if you meet the clinical criteria.
Disclaimer

No cancer screening test will pick up all cancers. Although screening programmes are designed to detect cancers that are at an earlier stage, and have a better survival, this may not always be the case.
