#LungCancer is the 2nd most common cancer in the United States. In 2019, it is estimated that 228,150 people will be diagnosed with lung cancer. Fewer than 1 in 7 lung cancer patients are diagnosed in early stage, when the disease is most treatable. Retweet:help raise awareness!
Early detection can save lives. Exciting to see this recent announcement by @NHSEngland of a "multimillion pound program of targeted lung health checks, rolling out in ten of the most deprived regions in the country." #LCSM#LungCancer https://t.co/ANQ0jj9IAO
“For every 1000 people scanned annually for three years, 391 will show apparent indications of lung cancer. However, only 40 of those positives are genuine.”
