LUNG CANCER SCREENING
BE IN CHARGE OF YOUR HEALTH AND ASK YOUR PRIMARY CARE DOCTOR

Adults aged 50 to 80 years who have a 20 pack-year smoking history (e.g. smoked one pack per day for 20 years or half pack a day for 40 years) and currently smoke or have quit within the past 15 years
The USPSTF recommends annual screening for lung cancer with low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) in adults aged 50 to 80 years who have a 20 pack-year smoking history and currently smoke or have quit within the past 15 years.
Screening should be discontinued once a person has not smoked for 15 years or develops a health problem that substantially limits life expectancy or the ability or willingness to have curative lung surgery.
