Overview

Lung cancer is one of the most common and deadly forms of cancer. Early detection of the disease is essential for successful treatment and higher survival rates. In recent years, medical experts have developed more sensitive and accurate methods for early detection of lung cancer, such as low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) scans, which can help diagnose the disease before it spreads and causes more damage. This type of scan has been proven effective in detecting small tumors, reducing the mortality rate due to lung cancer. In addition, early detection through LDCT scans helps reduce costs, since treatment is less invasive and more successful when the disease is spotted at an early stage.
