Are we ready for the lung cancer screening program?

A national lung cancer screening program begins in July, targeting high-risk people without symptoms.

This includes people aged between 50 and 70 years who are currently smoking or have quit in the past 10 years.

But could it be expanded in future to include people without a history of smoking?
