The PEOPLE-HULL Study: improving help-seeking for lung symptoms in Hull. Trial registration.

Abstract

Background and study aims:
More people are diagnosed with and die from lung cancer in Hull than any other place in Yorkshire. The main reason for this is related to lung cancers being diagnosed at a time when they are too advanced to be eligible for curative treatment. The aim of this study is to improve earlier diagnosis of lung cancer by encouraging people to see their doctor if they get lung symptoms and supporting GPs to refer people sooner.
