Let’s Talk Lung Health With Your Patients
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths in America. Screening is used to detect lung cancer early when it is more likely to be curable. According to the American Lung Association, If lung cancer is caught before it spreads, the likelihood of surviving five years or more improves by 63%.
National Lung Cancer Screening Day is Nov. 11, 2023. The American Cancer Society and U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommend yearly lung cancer screening with a low-dose CT scan for current and former heavy smokers ages 50 and older.
