“It was a pleasure to speak at the Lung Cancer Nurses UK meeting in Glasgow about lung cancer survivorship.
The good news is that survival rates for lung cancer are rapidly increasing, largely due to lung cancer screening in England. However, this progress brings new challenges, particularly in monitoring long-term survivors for second primaries-a problem that we have not faced historically.

Lung cancer nurses play a central role supporting patients through their cancer journey and survivorship.”
