The Be Clear on Cancer roadshow, part of a new Public Health England campaign, will be visiting the Arndale Centre, Manchester today.
It aims to raise awareness that a persistent cough, or getting out of breath doing everyday things, such as vacuuming or walking up a short flight of stairs, could be a sign of lung cancer or other lung disease.
Breathlessness can also be a sign of heart disease.
The event will encourage anyone who notices these symptoms to visit their GP as finding these conditions early makes them more treatable.
