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 recognizing early signs of lung cancer, given it is the third most common cancer in the UK.
Laura emphasises 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, listeners are directed to the Cancer Matters Wessex website and provided a contact number for scheduling lung health checks.
