Scientists have created a new urine test which could indicate the first signs of lung cancer. The majority of cases of lung cancer in England are diagnosed at later stages, meaning the disease can be harder to treat.
Cancer Research UK figures show that around 46 per cent of cases are diagnosed when a person has later stage cancer. About 43,000 people are diagnosed with lung cancer in the UK each year but only 10 per cent of people survive for 10 years after a diagnosis of lung cancer.
