Continuing on with National Lung Cancer Awareness Month! It is important to recognize that smoking is one of the greatest risk factors in causing lung cancer. Quitting smoking at any time can significantly reduce the risk of developing lung cancer.

It is recommended that adults aged 50-80 years old that have a 20-pack-year smoking history and have smoked at all within the past 15 years complete annual low-dose CT scan screenings. A pack-year is the number of cigarette packs smoked per day times the number of years smoking.
