Lung cancer takes more lives than any other cancer in Wales, with far too many people diagnosed at a late stage. The Welsh Government’s decision to introduce targeted lung screening is very welcome and a significant development - one that will save lives. It’s crucial this programme is implemented swiftly, as diagnosing people earlier, when treatment is more effective, will help save lives.
A brilliant result 👏🏻
@CRUKCymru has been campaigning hard for lung screening to he introduced in Wales. 🏴Screening and early diagnosis saves lives 🫁
Delighted to see this being launched 🫁 . Alongside partners and strong clinical leadership, we've helped call for this vital measure in Wales. This screening can help find lung cancer at an earlier, more treatable stage— reducing lung cancer's impact on Welsh communities.

Fascinating visit at @BBCWalesNews this morning. Thanks so much to @tomphippsnews for organising - was great to meet face to face after seven odd years of emails/ phone calls 😄👏🏻
@CR_UK has launched a bilingual Spot Cancer Early campaign in Wales.
If you spot any symptoms which are unusual for you, please contact your GP surgery. Early diagnosis saves lives.
Happy International Women's Day to all our incredible scientists, supporters, volunteers and staff who are making huge strides in helping @CR_UK beat cancer. 💙

Huge thanks to @WrenGeorginaCU for sharing her cancer experience in support of @raceforlife
No doubt her story will encourage others to attend cervical screening.
