Although lung cancer is a very deadly disease, lung cancer death rates are dropping due to early detection, education, and lifestyle changes. November is Lung Cancer Awareness month, so we’re educating patients about this dangerous condition and raising awareness about the important role that lung cancer screening plays in prevention!

Many people may not be aware that lung cancer is the most deadly cancer, accounting for about 1 out of 4 cancer deaths. Low-dose CT scans are the best screening method for catching this cancer early and allowing time for successful treatment. Former smokers and other patients at risk for this cancer are encouraged to get screened and take advantage of the affordable options.
