Lung Cancer Screening
Welcome to the Lung Cancer Screening site for Humber and North Yorkshire. Here, you will find everything you need to know about Lung Cancer Screening checks in your area.
People in Humber and North Yorkshire aged between 55 and 74, who smoke or used to smoke, and are registered with a local GP, could be eligible for free Lung Cancer Screening.
This is because research shows these people are most at risk of developing lung problems, including lung cancer.
Lung Cancer Screenings can reassure you that your lungs are healthy, or help find problems early when treatment could be simpler and more successful.
Lung Cancer Screenings are being introduced in a phased approach across Hull, North East Lincolnshire, North Lincolnshire, East Riding and North Yorkshire. Find out if they are taking place in your area by selecting your region below.
If you are eligible, you will receive a letter from your GP inviting you to make an appointment.
If you are not eligible but have concerns about your health, we always recommend that you speak to your GP as soon as possible.
