Lung cancer is the most common form of cancer. It impacts both men and women and is the leading cause of cancer deaths. Cigarette smoking is the most significant risk factor, but exposure to pollution, radiation and asbestos may also increase your risk of developing lung cancer.
Most lung cancer is detected after the disease has spread, making it challenging to treat. That's why CT screening is recommended for those who are 50 to 77, have no apparent signs of the disease, have a long history of heavy smoking (at least 20 pack years), and are current smokers or quit within the last 15 years.
ProHealth Care offers lung cancer screening at four locations. To learn more, visit [ Ссылка ] or call 262-928-3000 to schedule a screening appointment.
