Lung Cancer Risk Assessment
Lung cancer risk assessment is a process used to identify people who are at increased risk of developing lung cancer. It involves a number of factors including smoking history, family history, occupational exposure, and other known and potential risk factors. By identifying individuals at increased risk, health professionals are able to provide tailored advice and support to reduce their cancer risk. This can involve changes in lifestyle, screen for early signs of cancer, or encourage participation in research studies. Lung cancer risk assessment is an important tool for reducing morbidity and mortality from lung cancer.
