To participate in the NLCSP, you must meet the following criteria:

• Aged between 50 and 70 years

• Asymptomatic (no current signs or symptoms of lung cancer)

• Currently smoke, or quit smoking within the last 10 years

• Have a smoking history of at least 30 pack-years (e.g. 1 pack a day for 30 years, or 2 packs a day for 15 years)

Your healthcare provider will help determine your eligibility based on your age, smoking history, and other clinical factors. If suitable, they will provide a referral for a Low-Dose CT (LDCT) scan of the lungs.
