World Lung Cancer Day - August 1

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in the United States for both men and women. Each year, more people die of lung cancer than of colon, breast, and prostate cancers combined. This is because the disease shows no symptoms until it has progressed to advanced stages when it is very difficult to treat. The good news is that advances in imaging have made it possible to detect lung cancer early on, when treatment can be highly successful.

The Eisenhower Lung Cancer Screening Program evaluates current and former smokers to determine their risk for lung cancer and provides assessment and evaluation for persons at risk for lung cancer. Appointments are available in-person and via TeleMed. In many cases insurance will cover this evaluation.
