Why lung cancer screening?
Lung cancer is one of the most prevalent and deadliest cancers in the UK, with over 43,000 new cases diagnosed annually. While it remains the leading cause of cancer-related deaths, early detection dramatically improves treatment outcomes.
Early detection saves lives
Lung cancer often develops without noticeable symptoms, leading to late-stage diagnoses when treatment is less effective. Check4Cancer’s Lung Cancer Screening Test provides a proactive approach, identifying lung cancer at its earliest and most treatable stages. Regular screening enhances treatment options and increases survival rates.
Convenient and accessible
No hospital waiting lists and unnecessary delays. Our national network of clinics offers easy access to specialist screening—no GP referral required.
Reassurance for peace of mind
Even if you feel healthy, regular screening provides confidence in your well-being. If abnormalities are detected, our expert team will guide you through the next steps.
