Ask About Lung Cancer Screening
Finding lung cancer early can be easier to treat. Many cases are found at later stages, so please talk with your doctor about when to begin screening.
Who should get screened?
- Screening is usually recommended starting at age 50 for any current smokers or those who have quit within the past 15 years.
What does screening involve?
A low-dose CT scan takes just a few minutes and creates detailed images of your lungs. It can help find cancer before symptoms appear. Your doctor can explain the benefits and possible risks. Be sure to share your smoking history and mention any dust, silica, fumes, or other materials you may have on the job.
