Every day, 130 people in the UK are diagnosed with #lungcancer. That’s one person every 11 minutes.

Lung cancer can affect anyone & spotting it early can make a real difference.

Be alert to symptoms that don’t go away, like: a cough, breathlessness, fatigue, pain in chest/shoulder/back. #LCSM

Great to see a PROM study on #QoL following chemoradiation for cervical ca. However I take issue with “returned to baseline” at 9 mth, implying that symptoms will stay at baseline indefinitely - not true, late effects can arise yrs later #PelvicRadiationDisease
