Target Lung Health Check University Hospital Southampton

Please call us on 023 8120 8883 for a Lung Cancer Screening Check.

November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month.

Lung cancer often has no symptoms in its early stages, which means three-quarters of patients are diagnosed too late.

The Lung Cancer Screening Programme helps detect problems earlier, before symptoms appear.

You may be eligible if you are:
• Aged 55 to 74
• A current or former smoker
• Registered with a Southampton or Totton GP

📞 023 8120 8883

Clive joined the Lung Cancer Screening Programme for a routine follow-up scan. The scan revealed cancer in his lung, caught at an early stage.

“If you get the offer to take part, don’t ignore it. It could save your life,” says Clive.

Detecting cancer sooner can increase the chances of better outcomes.

We are sponsoring the trial of a new blood test that could identify cancers in very early stages.

Over 450 patients have already taken part in Hampshire and Dorset, including Ian Robinson from Fawley (pictured). He says research is "absolutely vital" and hopes taking part can benefit future generations.

The study is being run by researchers from the University of Southampton in partnership with the Southampton Clinical Trials Unit and biotech company Proteotype Diagnostics.
