Lung cancer is one of Australia’s most common and deadliest cancers, but early detection can make a life-changing difference.
At Capital Radiology, we’re committed to raising awareness about the importance of lung health and encouraging at-risk Australians to take action through early screening and regular check-ups.
Value Every Breath
Breathing is something we rarely think about, until it becomes hard to do. Every breath fuels the moments that matter most, from shared laughter to quiet reflection. Yet for thousands of Australians, that simple act can be silently threatened by lung cancer long before any symptoms appear.
At Capital Radiology, As part of our ongoing commitment to lung cancer awareness, we believe every breath deserves to be valued. That’s why we’re proud to support the National Lung Cancer Screening Program, offering low-dose CT scans, through Chest Scan Australia, that can help detect lung cancer early when it’s most treatable.
What to Watch For
While lung cancer can often go unnoticed in its early stages, there are signs worth paying attention to:
- Shortness of breath that doesn’t go away
- A persistent or new cough
- Chest pain or tightness
- Coughing up blood or unusual mucus
- Fatigue, voice changes, or recurring chest infections
If you experience any of these symptoms, your GP can refer you for a CT scan at Capital Radiology.
