Rebecca and Sarah are joined by Professor Matt Evison, Consultant Chest Physician at Wythenshawe Hospital, Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust and Clinical Lead for the CURE programme and Tobacco Addiction to explore the changing profile of lung cancer risk—including never smokers and the impact of ethnicity, family history, environmental factors, and occupational exposures like asbestos. They discuss the challenges of diagnosing lung cancer early, how to use chest X-rays and blood markers such as raised platelets, updates on lung cancer screening programmes and the latest tools in smoking cessation. Plus, insights into vaping, shisha, and why proactive smoking support is vital in primary care.
