Lung Cancer Screening

Taking control of your lung health
Lung cancer is one of the most serious cancers in the UK, with around 25,000 people diagnosed each year. It’s the third most common cancer—but here’s the important part: catching it early can make all the difference.
Right now, there’s no national screening program in the UK. But if you have risk factors like a history of smoking or a family link to lung cancer, screening could be a lifesaving step. It’s about peace of mind, taking charge of your health, and giving yourself the best possible chance.
EarlyCDT Lung Blood Test – A Simple Step for Early Detection
At OneMedicine, we offer the EarlyCDT Lung blood test, an advanced diagnostic tool that detects seven autoantibodies linked to lung cancer. This highly accurate test can identify lung cancer at any stage (I–IV), helping you get ahead of the disease before symptoms even appear.

Should You Consider Lung Cancer Screening?
Certain factors can increase your risk. If any of these apply to you, it’s worth having a conversation about screening:
- Age – Risk increases as we get older
- Smoking history – Includes cigarettes, shisha, and marijuana
- Family history – If a close relative has had lung cancer
- Work or environmental exposure – Asbestos, radiation, or a history of TB
- Chronic lung conditions – COPD or other long-term lung diseases
