Working Together to Reduce Lung Cancer in Missouri
14 million Americans are considered higher-risk for lung
cancer and are recommended to receive annual screening with
low-dose CT scans.
Exposure to radon is estimated to be the second-leading cause of lung cancer and the number one cause of lung cancer among non-smokers.
Early detection, by low-dose CT screening, can decrease lung cancer mortality by up to 20% among high-risk populations.
Ten years after you quit smoking, your risk for dying from lung cancer drops by half.
