WHAT IS LUNG CANCER SCREENING?

Lung cancer screening is about saving lives from lung cancer. Despite being only the 5th most common cancer in Australia, lung cancer remains the deadliest. Screening aims to prevents death by findings cancers earlier so that they can be cured. 

The National Lung Cancer Screening program is a federal government program which will commence in July 2025. Eligible people will be those aged between 50 and 70 who have smoked a pack of cigarettes per day for 30 years or more, and former smokers who quit within the last 10 years. The program offers a Medicare-supported low radiation CT of the chest looking for findings in the lungs suggestive of cancer.
