Revised lung cancer screening plan gets MSAC tick of approval
The Federal Government has not immediately agreed to follow the recommendation
A national screening program for lung cancer is a step closer after health officials endorsed a revised plan to screen current and former smokers aged 50-70.
After rejecting an initial lung cancer screening proposal earlier this year, the Medical Services Advisory Committee (MSAC) has approved a lower age range for screening, along with stricter eligibility criteria for ex-smokers.
