Early Detection for Better Lung Health
Lung cancer screening is designed to identify potential signs of lung cancer at an early stage, often before symptoms develop. For eligible individuals at increased risk, screening may help detect abnormalities sooner, supporting earlier assessment and access to appropriate treatment options when required.
At Melbourne Respiratory & Sleep Services, our specialists provide risk assessment, screening guidance and ongoing follow-up as part of a comprehensive approach to lung health. We work closely with referring doctors to ensure patients receive evidence-based screening recommendations and personalised care throughout the screening process.

Our team provides follow-up assessment, interpretation of results and coordinated management when further investigation is required.
Who May Benefit from Screening
