570									<p>Lung Cancer is a terrible blight for the North West region of the UK. There are major health inequality gaps across Greater Manchester, <span style="color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-size: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-size ); font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight );">with a low life expectancy gap in more disadvantaged areas. This is, in part, driven by deprivation and excess lung cancer deaths. Historically lung cancer treatment was ineffective, as most patients we diagnosed at too late a stage, when the cancer was untreatable. The MEU has helped to change this perspective, through its major financial contributions to The North West Lung Centre <a href="https://mft.nhs.uk/wythenshawe/services/respiratory-and-allergy/north-west-lung-centre/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">[1]</a>, the largest clinical respiratory unit in Europe. </span></p><p>The North West Lung Centre has an international reputation for respiratory medicine and offers specialist lung cancer prevention, diagnosis and care. MEU has also enabled innovative research programmes led by North West Lung Cancer world class academics who work synergistically with outstanding clinical colleagues, to improve clinical performance and patient outcomes. </p><p>One of these clinical academics is Professor Richard Booton, a Consultant Respiratory Physician at The North West Lung Centre for eleven years and Clinical Director for Lung Cancer and Thoracic Surgery at Wythenshawe Hospital <a href="https://mft.nhs.uk/wythenshawe/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">[2]</a> since 2018. Professor Booton was one of the first recipients of a Pickering Fellowship, provided through The North West Lung Centre Charity, the major shareholder of the MEU, which provides 50% research time matched to 50% clinical funding, to develop promising, research-active clinical consultants into clinical academics. </p><p>Professor Booton states that The North West Lung Centre&#8217;s Cancer Team are developing initiatives to change the appalling outcomes for lung cancer, through the following methods:</p><ul><li>Improved treatments for tobacco addiction</li><li>Speeding up diagnostic pathways to provide faster treatment </li><li>Lung cancer screening </li></ul>								</div>

597									<p>The NWLC has developed into the UK&#8217;s leading specialist lung cancer screening service, which has been pioneering the transformation of services in the North West and around the UK, with lessons for the world. Shockingly, more than 60% of patients had been taking more than 60 days on the diagnostic pathway to surgery. A change in diagnostic pathway was initiated through a Quality Improvement Project which has since been adopted by GIRFT (GIRFT is an NHS initiative &#8220;Getting it right first time&#8221; which has 10 specific references to the Wythenshawe pathway as part of its improvement for the UK). The new RAPID pathway was introduced as a pilot service in 2016, and as a result, led to a surge in early stage 1 lung cancer diagnosis in Manchester. As a direct result, the Lung Cancer team were appointed as The Health Services Journal &#8220;Centre of Excellence&#8221;. </p>								</div>

612									<p>Dr Philip Crosbie also received a Pickering Fellowship, funded by MEU. He leads the<a href="https://www.manchester.ac.uk/research/beacons/breakthroughs/lung-cancer-screening/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Early Detection Research scheme</a>. Mobile lung screening units were taken to supermarket car parks in economically deprived areas of Manchester to target those populations most at risk. This programme introduced health screening and immediate lung CT scans for subjects at risk, in supermarket carparks and similar areas with high lung cancer rates. Taking diagnosis into these areas enables easier access for patients and avoids fear of hospitals. The screenings, pioneered here in Manchester, have now been adopted around the world.</p><p>Lung cancer diagnosis has had a seismic change from being 20% operable at presentation with symptoms, to 80% operable when detected through the screening programme. As a result, the surgical resection rate for lung cancer is 65% in Manchester compared to 17% in the UK overall. Dr Crosbie is now leading research on blood biomarkers for detection of cancer, identification of metastases, and screening in lower risk patients. </p>								</div>
