Lung Health Check Pilot: Phil's story

Lung Health Check pilot: Phil

Phil was invited to take part in the Lung Health Check pilot which detected a suspicion of lung cancer. Following further investigation this was confirmed and he has since undergone treatment and is now in remission. This is his story...

 

 

The Lung Heath Check pilot – a first in Wales – was launched by CTMUHB last autumn. The pilot was set up in collaboration with the National Strategic Clinical Network for Cancer and aims to detect the early stages of lung cancer, before there are any signs or symptoms.

The evaluation report is available on our website and the Cancer Network website. The report will help to inform work which the Public Health Wales Screening Division is undertaking on how targeted lung cancer screening could be delivered in Wales in the future.
