Summary
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide and is classified into two main types: non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), which accounts for most cases and the more aggressive small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Early detection is crucial for improving outcomes, but symptoms often emerge late in the disease course. In episode 126 , Dr Hannah Rosa looked at the challenges of diagnosis, reviewed guidelines and latest research and discussed when to continue investigations after a normal chest X-ray. In this episode, Dr Roger Henderson gives an overview of detecting lung cancer in primary care and looks at treatment – including newer options for some late-stage cancers.
