Early Screening for Lung Cancer? Many people are not aware you can be tested for the disease
Lung cancer is the second most common cancer in both men and women, and is by far the leading cause of cancer death. In 2017, the American Cancer Society estimates more than 200,000 new cases of lung cancer will be diagnosed in the United States, with more than 150,000 deaths. Lung cancer screening is now approved in the United States, and can help detect cancer early, when it is most curable.
With November Lung Cancer Awareness Month, Lynn Tanoue, MD and Polly Sather, MSN, APRN, from the Lung Screening and Nodule Program at Yale Cancer Center, talk about lung cancer screening and why it can save lives.
