Hundreds of people in Wakefield and across the region will benefit from life-saving abdomen scans following new funding from Yorkshire Cancer Research.
The scans, which can help detect kidney, stomach, colon, liver, pancreatic and bowel cancers, will be provided alongside lung health checks, which are being rolled out across the region as part of a new National Lung Screening Programme.
Previous research funded by the charity has demonstrated that kidney and lung screening can be combined to save lives.
