Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in Australia, yet many cases are not found until the later stages. The good news is that early detection through screening can significantly improve outcomes.
The National Lung Cancer Screening Program now offers a free low dose CT scan for eligible Australians to help detect lung changes early, often before symptoms appear.
You may qualify if you are:
๐น Aged 50 to 70
๐น A current or former smoker
The scan is quick, safe, and uses a low dose of radiation specifically designed for screening.
๐ฌ If you think you may be eligible, speak with your GP about the program and obtaining a referral.
