Lung Cancer. Who Should be Screened?
The CT screening process is simple. It's quick. And it's more than affordable.
So it only makes sense to get screened if the following apply to you:
- Age 40+
- Have smoked cigarettes, cigars or pipes.
- Have a family history of lung cancer.
- Have been exposed on the job to asbestos, beryllium, uranium or radon.
- Have had a significant exposure to second-hand smoke at home or at work.
