The National Lung Cancer Screening Program is now available to people aged 50 to 70 years old, and who:

  • show no signs or symptoms suggesting you may have lung cancer (that is, you are asymptomatic)
  • currently smoke or have quit smoking in the past 10 years
  • have a history of tobacco cigarette smoking of at least 30 pack-years.

If you believe you are eligible, talk to your healthcare practitioner (a GP or a nurse practitioner) to participate today.
