Lung Cancer Screening 2023

Lung cancer is the deadliest cancer among Veterans, but catching it early means a much higher rate of treatment success. In the video, The Facts About Lung Cancer Screening, shares the statistics of lung cancer among the Veteran population. If you’re 50-80 years old, and if you formerly or currently smoke cigarettes, talk to your provider if lung cancer screening is right for you. The best way to stop lung cancer? Stop smoking. VA can help with that, but people who smoke, even those who have quit, should ask about lung cancer screening. Learn more about who can be screened and how.
