Great to see Professor Akram on STV last night joining our call for the rollout of a targeted lung cancer screening programme in Scotland to diagnose the disease earlier and improve survival. Currently, 68% of cases in Scotland are diagnosed at a late stage.
IRR Group Leader Prof Ahsan Akram, appeared on STV last night to call for the rollout of lung cancer screening in Scotland. Early diagnosis saves lives - Scotland has no national lung cancer screening programme, in contrast to England, which has already screened 1M+ people.

25 years ago, our scientists helped lay the groundwork for the HPV vaccine. Today, the world unites for the first official World Cervical Cancer Elimination Day. Together, we can achieve a world where almost nobody develops cervical cancer.
It's World #CervicalCancer Elimination Day.
Cervical cancer could be the first cancer EVER in the world to be eliminated, if:
9️⃣0️⃣% of girls are vaccinated
7️⃣0️⃣% of women are screened
9️⃣0️⃣% of women with cervical cancer receive treatment
