Australians now have access
to a new resource ‘What’s your
cough telling you?’ which aims to
increase awareness of lung cancer
symptoms and reduce delays in
diagnosis.
Cancer Australia CEO Helen
Zorbas said the resource provides
Australians with clear and easily
accessible information while also
addressing some of the common
misconceptions about the disease.
“The symptoms of lung cancer
can often be vague, making
diagnosis more difficult.
“The information contained
in this new resource will help
people identify the symptoms
and encourage early medical
assessment.” Professor Zorbas said.
The new resource will be available
in GP waiting rooms and is also at
