Lung Cancer Screening
In the US, lung cancer kills more people than breast cancer, colon cancer, and prostate cancer combined because lung cancer is usually found at an advanced stage that is not curable. Whether you are an active smoker or quit years ago, undergoing a screening can aid in the early detection of lung cancer, when it is most treatable and offers the greatest chance of survival.
