Preventative Screenings & Awareness
Routine screenings and early detection is one of the best defenses against cancer. There are a variety of preventative screenings you can receive that may help to detect cancers such as colon, bladder, prostate, breast, lung, and many more. Preventative screenings can quickly help your doctors identify any areas of concern and establish treatment plans or recommendations for moving forward. The most important step you can take is having a conversation with your doctor - discuss your family history, preventative screenings, and what to expect during screening procedures.
November is Lung Cancer Awareness
According to the American Lung Association, lung cancer is the number one cause of cancer death in both men and women in the U.S., accounting for approximately one quarter of cancer deaths. About 85% of lung cancer cases occur in current or former smokers. Fortunately, this disease is often treatable if caught early. Recent studies show that low-dose CT lung cancer screening can lower your risk of dying from lung cancer.
