EGFR Positive UK, ALK Positive UK and Ruth Strauss Foundation recently launched a £100K award-winning early diagnosis promotion, "See Through the Symptoms", targeted at primary healthcare professionals to raise awareness that anyone with lungs, irrespective of age and smoking status, can get lung cancer. Some patients are in their twenties. Many have young children.
Early diagnosis can mean that patients can be cured.
