Lung cancer is not only the second most common cancer, with nearly 50,000 new cases a year, it’s also one of the most difficult to diagnose as it has few obvious symptoms.
It’s therefore often well advanced when discovered and survival is notoriously short. And it’s the most common cause of cancer death.
Now a team of researchers from the universities of Oxford and Nottingham have come up with a tool, aptly called CanPredict, which is able to pinpoint the people most at risk of developing lung cancer over the next 10 years.
