Lung cancer is one of the most common cancers in the UK and survival has not markedly improved over the last 50 years. It is the cancer most strongly linked to deprivation and there have been some recent developments in targeted lung screening programmes in the UK. Join NB’s Kate Digby, guest speaker Georgia Black and the CRUK team for an update.

Twelve months since the start of the Covid pandemic and we will have a chance to reflect on the impact it has had on referral rates and lung cancer diagnosis. The urgent suspected lung cancer pathway was particularly affected by Covid and has been slow to recover. In this Hot Topics Clinic supported by Cancer Research UK, Kate will be joined by Dr. Stephen Bradley to discuss the latest evidence on using CXRs to aid lung cancer diagnosis and we'll also look at the latest facts and figures for the UK as we examine the state of the nation one year later.
