Your Green Breakfast

Monday, 2 June 2025 - 16 minutes

2nd June 2025 - Today’s guests on Your Green Breakfast were specialist nurse Laura and Operations Manager Graham from the Lung Cancer Screening Program.

The discussion centred on the importance of recognising early signs of lung cancer, given it is the third most common cancer in the UK.

Laura emphasised symptoms such as persistent coughs, breathlessness, and coughing up blood, urging prompt medical consultation.

Graham highlights the ongoing lung cancer screening initiative, available to current and former smokers aged 55 to 75, which has screened over 50,000 people in Southampton.

The program aims for early detection to improve survival rates. For more information visit the Cancer Matters Wessex website or call the number below for scheduling lung health checks.
