Lung Cancer Screening

Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer death in the U.S. If you are at increased risk for lung cancer due to a history of smoking, you may be eligible for lung cancer screening. Finding a lung tumor early – before symptoms develop – can mean more treatment options, less invasive surgery, and a better chance of survival.
