Professor Rachael Murray

Rachael is the Principle Investigator on the Yorkshire Enhances Stop Smoking Study (YESS) and also the YorQuit study. Both studies are looking at the best way to support people to change their smoking habits as part of lung cancer screening programs. This work is important as smoking cessation interventions have the potential to maximise the benefit from lung cancer screening (LCS), with modelling studies predicting an 81% increase of life years gained as a result of adding smoking cessation (SC) support
