As part of the presentation of the “Men’s Health” study, the Secretary of State for Health, Dr. Ana Povo, announced the launch of two pilot lung cancer screening projects.
According to her, the goal is to evaluate the impact of these programs on population health and collect data to support their eventual expanded implementation nationwide.
The initiative was welcomed by the Lung Cancer Study Group (GECP), which considered this decision an important step in the fight against one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths in Portugal. The introduction of screening programs has the potential to significantly improve early diagnosis of the disease, contributing to increased survival rates and a better quality of life for patients.
