Wondering if lung cancer screening is right for you? This Lung Cancer Awareness Month, we’re sharing a few resources to help you get started.
Who is at risk?
People who smoke cigarettes or have smoked in the past are at higher risk for lung cancer. Exposure to radon, asbestos, or air pollution can also increase risk, even for people who have never smoked.
How can screening help?
Screening can help find lung cancer before symptoms appear, when it may be easier to treat. If you have questions about your smoking history or past exposures, your healthcare provider can help you decide whether screening is right for you.
Not sure where to start?
If you’re curious about screening, the American Lung Association explains what to expect and offers questions to bring to your next visit. If you or someone you love has been diagnosed, Lung Cancer Center can help you make sense of the diagnosis.
