Cancer charities are urging GPs to save lives by getting better at spotting the symptoms of one of Britain’s most lethal forms of the disease – lung cancer in non-smokers.
Macmillan Cancer Support and Cancer Research UK are among the groups to back a new campaign that launches this week intended to prompt family doctors to consider lung cancer as a likely diagnosis even in people who have never smoked.
