Lung Cancer Screening: Is it Right for You?
Show: Weekly Dose of Wellness
Lung cancer is most treatable when it is identified in the earliest stages. For high-risk individuals, a low-dose CT lung scan is designed to detect signs of lung cancer even before symptoms are present.
Nurse Navigator and Lung Cancer Screening Coordinator, Robin Philips, RN, MSN, discusses what a low-dose CT lung screening entails, who it benefits and how to schedule a lung screening if you or a loved one qualifies.
