Doctor, 38, stunned by lung cancer diagnosis and urges public to know deadly symptoms

A consultant has told of her "complete shock" after she was diagnosed with lung cancer at the age of just 38.

She spoke out as a survey for the Less Survivable Cancers Taskforce (LSCT) carried out by Sapio Research found only 1% of people in the UK could correctly identify all the symptoms of liver cancer from a list presented to them.

More than 90,000 people are diagnosed with either lung, liver, brain, stomach, pancreatic and oesophageal cancer each year, with these accounting for in excess of 67,000 deaths.
