Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths in Australia and the second commonest cause of all deaths in men. Earlier, timely diagnosis could be a critical factor in improving lung cancer outcomes as many people present with late stage disease having had symptoms for a long time. This trial tests a novel nurse-led intervention in general practice aimed at promoting earlier consulting by people at higher risk of lung cancer when they develop chest symptoms.

在澳大利亚，肺癌是癌症死亡的首要原因，也是男性死亡的第二常见原因。早期，及时诊断可能是改善肺癌预后的关键因素，因为许多患有晚期疾病的人已经有了很长时间的症状。这项试验测试了一种由护士领导的新的全科医学干预措施，旨在促进肺癌高危人群在出现胸部症状时及早咨询。
