Lung cancer is the leading cause of death from cancer for both men and women in Australia.
There are substantially higher lung cancer mortality rates amongst rural/remote Australians, amongst lower socioeconomic groups and amongst Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
Survival rates for people with lung cancer is poor. Many lung cancers are first diagnosed at an advanced stage.
Get Checked
If you are suffering from ongoing symptoms such as:
- Shortness of breath
- Changes to the voice such as hoarseness
- Chest pain, coughing or spitting up blood
- A new cough that does not go away
- Chest infection that lasts more than three weeks or keeps coming back
- Enlarged fingertips
- Loss of appetite
- Unexplained weight loss
Or are a long-term smoker or were and have quit in the last 15 years, it is worth to speak to your doctor about a high-resolution chest CT scan to investigate lung disease which is equipped to catch the subtle signs before they escalate.
A low-dose chest CT scan delivers a significantly lower dose of radiation for the examination of the chest while still producing quality diagnostic imaging. It is a painless procedure that only takes minutes to complete. You will be able to return to your normal daily activities as soon as your scan is finished.
Get Well
Early intervention results in significant reductions in lung cancer mortality and diagnosis of a larger proportion of lung cancers at earlier stages.
