Lung Cancer To Double In 30 Years

Lung Cancer cases could more than double in the next 30 years.

There could be around 12,000 people with lung cancer in Scotland in 2040, compared to around 5,500 today, research carried out on behalf of Macmillan Cancer Support has predicted. 

Lung cancer is expected to rise 35 times faster amongst women than men, with more than twice as many women compared to men expected to have the disease in Scotland.
