Advance in lung cancer detection
December 21st, 2007
Scientists at the University of Liverpool have developed a more sophisticated way of predicting the risk of developing lung cancer.
Two-thirds of lung cancer cases in the UK could be predicted by screening only 30% of the population using the Liverpool Lung Project (LLP) risk model – funded in collaboration with the Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation.
The model differs from previous ones, which only focused on age and smoking status and fail to account for other groups at risk.
