Did you know that lung cancer is the 4th most found cancer and accounts for 9% of cancer diagnoses? November marks Lung Cancer Awareness month, and we want to remind everyone that early detection saves lives.
Many lung cancers are diagnosed too late for curative treatment, meaning earlier scanning is vital to ensure cancers are found sooner when more effective treatment methods are available.
Developed by the Australian Government’s Department of Health and Aged Care, the National Lung Cancer Screening Program (NLCSP) allows for bulk-billing low-dose chest scans for those eligible that agree to participate in the NLCSP. To learn more, https://www.scr.com.au/services/lung-screening/.
