PROMISING DEVELOPMENT ON LUNG CANCER
- British scientists have shared the promising results of pre-computed Tomography (CT) in terms of early detection for people at risk of developing lung cancer.
. - In the UK, scientists have asked the British government to routinely scan smokers with a CT scan (CT) to reduce deaths from lung cancer.
.
- According to the Guardian, about 48 thousand people in the country are diagnosed with lung cancer every year, and more than 35 thousand people lose their lives. Lung cancer, which is difficult to detect, is usually diagnosed in the third or fourth stage.

A REALLY BIG IMPROVEMENT
- New methods developed in computed tomography show promise in early detection of lung cancer, according to a study conducted by scientists.
. - Computed tomography detects 70 percent of the cancerous cells detected in people’s lungs in the first or second stage.
. - A doctor involved in the research “This is really a big improvement for lung cancer, it allows us to detect this deadly cancer early and offer the patient curative treatment,” and went on to say:
.
“It is important to highlight how effective computed tomography scanning is. In my lung cancer clinic, 7 out of every 10 people are in an incurable condition after seeing a doctor,” was said.

RESEARCH INVOLVING 12,100 PEOPLE
- A study of 12,100 people in London aged between 55 and 78 who smoked found 180 cases of lung cancer using CT scans.
. - 70 percent of people who had cancer were told they were in the first and second stages. Following the research, experts called for the government to launch routine screening to reduce the death toll from cancer.
. - The study also found that the proportion of cases detected in the first or second stage was 19.5 percent in 2013, rising to 29 percent in 2019.
