#GreaterManchester has diagnosed the most lung cancers in the country as part of NHS Lung Cancer Screening.
The city is one of the first areas in England to roll out the screening, four years ahead of the national target. gmcancer.org.uk/greater-manche…

✔️ Tick Off your cancer screening.

Screening is the best way to spot changes early and get treatment if you need it.

When your screening invite or kit arrives, book and attend your appointment, or complete and return your kit.

Know the signs of metastatic lung cancer. Metastatic lung cancer occurs when cancer that started in the lungs spreads to another part of the body. Explore the metastatic cancer infographics: gmcancer.org.uk/metastatic-inf…

The infographic titled "Lung Cancer Metastatic Infographic" from Greater Manchester Cancer Alliance explains signs and symptoms of cancer spreading, with sections on the brain, lymph nodes, and bones. It also details lung symptoms and emergency symptoms, advising consultation with healthcare professionals if symptoms persist.
