Are you a current smoker, or have you quit smoking in the last 15 years? If so, an annual lung cancer screening could be a life-saving choice.
Lung cancer claims more lives yearly than breast, colon, prostate, and pancreatic cancer combined. Shockingly, approximately 90% of lung cancer cases can be attributed to cigarette smoking.
The good news is that modern screening technologies have proven to reduce lung cancer fatalities by an impressive 20%. For both current and former smokers, it is strongly recommended to undergo an annual low-dose CT scan. This simple step can aid in detecting lung cancer at its earliest, most treatable stages.
Do You Qualify?
You may be eligible for the Lung Cancer Screening Program if you meet the following criteria:
- Age between 50 and 77 years
- Show no signs or symptoms of lung cancer
- A smoking history of at least 20 pack-years (a pack-year is equivalent to smoking one pack per day for one year; one pack equals 20 cigarettes)
- Currently smoke or have quit smoking within the last 15 years
