Mortality rates from lung cancer are significantly higher among rural and remote Australians, lower socioeconomic groups, and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
Survival rates for people with lung cancer remain poor.
Get Checked
If you are experiencing ongoing symptoms such as:
- Shortness of breath
- Voice changes, such as hoarseness
- Chest pain, coughing, or spitting up blood
- A new, persistent cough
- Chest infections that last more than three weeks or keep returning
- Swollen fingertips
- Loss of appetite
- Unexplained weight loss
- Fatigue
If you are a long-term smoker or quit within the past 15 years, it may be worth speaking to your doctor about a low-resolution chest CT scan. This scan can detect subtle signs of lung disease before they escalate.
Get Well
Early intervention results in significant reductions in lung cancer mortality and diagnosis of a larger proportion of lung cancers at earlier stages.
