Welcome to the QCancer®(Lung) risk calculator

Welcome to the QCancer®(Lung) Web Calculator. You can use this calculator to work out your risk of developing lung cancer by answering some simple questions.

The QCancer®(Lung) algorithms have been developed by Julia Hippisley-Cox and Carol Coupland and are based on routinely collected data from many thousands of GPs across the country who have freely contributed data to the QResearch database for medical research.

QCancer®(Lung) has been developed for the UK population, and is intended for use in the UK. All medical decisions need to be taken by a patient in consultation with their doctor. The authors and the sponsors accept no responsibility for clinical use or misuse of this score.

The science underpinning the new QCancer®(Lung) equations has been published in the British Journal of General Practice. Click on "Publications" for a link to the paper.
