Health matters: Besides screening, anti-smoking campaigns and more emphasis on public awareness are needed.
PETALING JAYA: While the need for a nationwide lung cancer screening programme is crucial, the cost still remains a main concern, say health experts.
Public health expert Datuk Dr Zainal Ariffin Omar said a population-wide screening for the rising cases in lung cancer could be explored by the government in the future, but the emphasis should be on the importance of reducing the risk factors.
