Lung cancer is often caught too late — but it doesn’t have to be.

According to the American Lung Association, 44% of lung cancer cases are diagnosed at a late stage, when the 5-year survival rate is only 8%.
But early detection saves lives — especially for current and former smokers. That’s why Baptist Anderson has expanded our early detection program by using advanced AI-driven software to identify lung nodules even earlier than before.

💡 What you can do:
Be honest with your doctor about your smoking history
Ask about getting screened for lung cancer
It’s a quick, painless CT scan that could save your life

Attention: If you’re 45 or older, it’s time to talk with your doctor about a colonoscopy.
A colonoscopy remains the best screening test we have for colorectal cancer — the third‑leading cause of cancer death in the U.S. For people of average risk, beginning screening at age 45 is now widely recommended.

Studies show that screening by colonoscopy can greatly reduce deaths from colorectal cancer, because it allows not only early detection but also removal of pre‑cancerous polyps.

Don’t wait. For more information, visit: https://www.baptistonline.org/.../our.../gastroenterology

Talk with your healthcare provider about your personal risk (family history, symptoms, etc.) and what screening schedule is right for you.
