Lung CancerMonday 28 October 2002
Lung Cancer kills more than thirteen thousand women in the UK every year. That's more than breast cancer, and the incidence among women is rising.

Yet a new study shows that it receives less than 4% of the research funding available. Charities say that's because the disease is stigmatised by its link with smoking.
Cancer patient, Maureen Heinz, Dr Jesme Baird, Oncologist at the Roy Castle Foundation, and Richard Sullivan from Cancer Research UK join Jenni to discuss the stigma surrounding lung cancer.
