Lung health checks are being offered to smokers or ex-smokers aged 55-74 years old in Bradford District and Craven to help find any issues early, often before you notice anything wrong.
Following an initial phone call, those most at risk from lung cancer are then invited for a lung scan at a mobile CT unit in their local area. Events like this can help eligible people and their families understand more about screening, and why it’s so important to get checked.
Since the programme started in 2022, 70% of lung cancers diagnosed through lung cancer screening in Bradford District and Craven have been identified at stage 1 or 2. Before lung cancer screening was introduced lung cancers were diagnosed at a later stage – in 2020 70% of all lung cancers in England were diagnosed at stage 3-4. The ‘stage’ describes the size of a cancer and how far it has grown, with 1 being small and 4 large.
There are usually no signs or symptoms in the early stages of lung cancer, which is why screening can help to identify the cancer early, when treatment is more effective.
