The Lung Health Check Pilot
This study aims to test if it is feasible to introduce lung cancer screening in Ireland. People within a certain age group, who smoke or who smoked in the past, are at a greater risk of developing lung cancer. They can also develop chronic lung conditions that can affect their long-term health. In Ireland, about 2,690

| Summary | This study aims to test if it is feasible to introduce lung cancer screening in Ireland. People within a certain age group, who smoke or who smoked in the past, are at a greater risk of developing lung cancer. They can also develop chronic lung conditions that can affect their long-term health. In Ireland, about 2,690 people are diagnosed with Lung Cancer every year. Unfortunately, 2 out of every 3 people diagnosed with lung cancer die per year. The goal of this study is to try to screen for lung cancer in people before they have symptoms associated with the disease. We aim to do this by selecting people based on their age, whether they have smoked in the past or currently smoke as well as other relevant factors. People who take part in this study will have an assessment of how their lungs |
