More people die from lung cancer in Ireland than any other type of cancer, it’s the biggest killer causing more deaths than breast and prostate cancer put together all over the world. Every 18 seconds, someone, somewhere in the world dies of lung cancer.

What are we asking for?

Ireland’s leading early cancer diagnosis charity, the Marie Keating Foundation called on you to make  this the year we commit to improving survival rates and reducing the lung cancer death rate.

A comprehensive lung health check (lung screening) for those at high risk can find lung cancer earlier than when symptoms appear, giving treatments the best chance to save a life.  “We can’t live with lung cancer deaths any longer, we need to look at the evidence from other countries that shows how screening saves lives.” Liz Yeates, CEO Marie Keating Foundation.

This November during Lung Cancer Awareness month, the Marie Keating Foundation is asking you to lend your voice to our call on the Minister for Health to introduce free lung screening in Ireland for people at high risk of the disease.

Please sign our petition today and add your voice to the call to save more people from lung cancer in Ireland.
