Cancer Institute urges Aussies to listen out for lung cancer

The Cancer Institute NSW has launched a campaign to urge Australians to ‘listen out to lung cancer’ and encourage early diagnosis.

The key symptoms to a common form of the disease is persistent coughing, the changing nature of coughing and blood, which feature in a new TV ad.

“Our experience tells us that getting people to see their doctor is never simple. But if we can get people across NSW to be aware of the symptoms consistent with lung cancer and visit their GP to ensure early diagnosis, we can improve lung cancer outcomes across the state,” said Cancer Institute NSW’s Mayanne Lafontaine.
