We're delighted that the UK National Screening Committee has recommended a nationwide lung cancer screening programme. This is fantastic news which hopefully lead to many thousands of patients surviving lung cancer through earlier diagnosis and treatment.

It’s so important to support @Roy_Castle_Lung. This is the only UK charity solely dedicated to lung cancer research and support. Please donate here if you can tinyurl.com/y8hamo39.

Whilst advances in systemic treatment of advanced lung cancer have no doubt helped, surely there needs to be some mention of smoking cessation here - both as a likely larger contributor to this fall in mortality, and as a continuing strategy for driving it even lower?

U.S. cancer death rate sees its largest single-year drop – driven by precision medicine and #immunotherapy in lung cancer. Thank you members for helping develop these advances! @CBelaniMD, IASLC's CSO, has issued the following response to the news. #LCSM cnn.it/2Fw1UDA

Disappointing that the room is so empty at #WCLC2019 to see an inspiring talk from IASLC-award winning Emily Stone about Tobacco Control. Surely this is the most pressing issue at this conference.

This is a fantastic result for an amazing team. They are delivering a groundbreaking study which is already shaping national policy in co-delivering Lung Cancer Screening and Smoking Cessation. Hopefully more exciting results to come in due course.... @yorkshirecancer

Also great to see increased smoking cessation in the #NHS10yearplan. @LungHealthCheck is the first to co-locate smoking cessation and #LungCancerScreening in a community setting. Over 90% of smokers agreed to see our SCPs last month as part of the @YESSstudy. @yorkshirecancer

#NHS10yearplan also focusing on early diagnosis of COPD. Since Nov, 62 people found to possibly have undiagnosed COPD at their @LungHealthCheck and referred to the Community Respiratory Team - that's about 1 in 5 of all participants. @LeedsHospitals @LCHNHSTrust @yorkshirecancer

Great to see the emphasis on early diagnosis of cancer in the #NHS10yearplan. Its release coincided with the busiest day yet for the @LungHealthCheck team. A record 156 telephone health checks on Monday alone before our visit to @ASDA Middleton in 2 weeks. @yorkshirecancer
