Lung cancer is the fifth most common cancer and the leading cause of cancer death in Australia. A new Lung Cancer Screening Program is now available to eligible people.

Are you aged between 50 and 70 years and:

• show no signs or symptoms suggesting you may have lung cancer
• currently smoke or have quit smoking in the past 10 years
• have a history of tobacco cigarette smoking of at least 30 pack years*
*One pack-year is equal to smoking 20 cigarettes (one pack) per day for one year, or 40 cigarettes per day for half a year:
• 1 pack a day for 1 year = 1 pack year
• 2 packs a day for 6 months = 1 pack year

Your GP can help you work out whether you’re eligible for the program based on your age and smoking history. Find out more about the Program by clicking here.
