National Lung Cancer Screening
North Shore GP
Eligible people in Australia are now able to participate in screening for lung cancer through the National Lung Cancer Screening Program. The scan is free, covered by Medicare.
Your GP appointment for this will also be bulk-billed.
Screening is a way of finding signs of cancer in people who do not have any symptoms. The goal is to find cancer early, when it is easier to treat.
Lung cancer screening uses a low-dose CT scan to look for any small lumps, called nodules.
Lung cancer screening can find 70% of lung cancer at its early stages, before there are any symptoms and when treatment is most effective.
If you are eligible, you should be screened every two years until the age of 70. Having regular screening every two years is the best way to find lung cancer early, when it’s easier to treat. It is important that you have lung cancer screening even if you feel well.
