Are you at risk of lung cancer?
Lung cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer death in Australia. However, early detection through regular lung cancer screening can significantly improve survival rates.
Who Should Consider Lung Cancer Screening?
If you meet the following criteria, you may be eligible for a lung cancer screening:
- Age: 50-70 years old
- Smoking History: Have a history of at least 30 pack-years of cigarette smoking and quit in the past 10 years.
- Current Smoker or Quit Within the Past 15 Years
How Does Lung Cancer Screening Work?
Lung cancer screening involves a low-dose CT scan of the chest. This non-invasive test can detect small lung nodules that may be cancerous. If a nodule is detected, further tests may be recommended to determine if it is cancerous.
Benefits of Lung Cancer Screening:
- Early Detection: Early detection of lung cancer can increase the chances of successful treatment.
- Improved Survival Rates: Early-stage lung cancer is often more treatable, leading to better outcomes.
