Lung Cancer Screening
Lung cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Screening for lung cancer can reduce the risk of death from the disease by up to 20%. It involves the use of low-dose computed tomography (CT) scans to detect early signs of the disease, such as small tumors, nodules, and other lesions. Lung cancer screening is typically recommended for people at high risk, such as those with a history of smoking and other factors. Early detection and treatment can significantly improve the chances of curing the disease, and reduce the risk of death.
