Part of 3. 2. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Health, Well-being and Sport – in the Senedd at 2:51 pm on 25 January 2017.
Finally, Cabinet Secretary, the holy grail in cancer screening is the development of a reliable testing regime for lung cancer. Cardiff University, in a recent trial, found that the use of low-dose CT scans for lung cancer screening has no long-term psychosocial impact on patients, making it an excellent tool for detecting lung cancer early, when there’s a better chance of survival. Does the Welsh Government have any plans to look at the feasibility of using low-dose CT lung screening for high-risk individuals?
