First insights into the effect of targeted lung cancer screening in Manchester in 2016-2017. The rapid rise in early stage lung cancer is now well appreciated, but the progressive decrease in stage III/ IV disease within 2 years has huge implications

Interesting data from Jenny King about lung cancer surgery in octogenarians. Case selection and comprehensive pre-op work up optimised outcomes. Bodes well given our aging population. #BTSWinter @MatthewEvison1

Great coverage of the SUMMIT study over the past 48h adding to the growing UK-led evidence for implementing #lungcancer #screening in high-risk groups: 1.5% detection rate, 70% early stage Adds to results already demonstrated by programmes such @LungCheck @lunghealthlpool & LSUT

Brilliant example of a vision, supported by evidence, and an intolerance of the usual resistance to change just because it’s too hard. Great leadership and, despite annoying youth, a tremendous legacy and team effort

For those who don't know. In July 2018 at the age of 50 I was diagnosed with stage 4 incurable lung cancer. Upto that point I'd never spent a night in hospital and had been pretty fit and healthy. I had never smoked.
