Lung Cancer Connection

Thank you SELF for helping spread lung cancer awareness. Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in women.

If you have lungs, you are at risk.

Cancer screenings exist to try to detect the disease in its earlier stages, and ultimately to save lives. But screenings for lung cancer—the leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide—are narrow, and that’s causing missed diagnoses in many people, especially women and those who have never smoked.

That’s the main takeaway from a new JAMA Network Open study that suggests most lung cancer cases are missed due to these guidelines. At the link in bio read what the study found, plus what oncologists recommend doing to stay on top of your lung health.

Behind every survivor is someone who never gives up, a caregiver who shows love, patience, and strength in the hardest moments.

If you're diagnosed with lung cancer, ask you doctor about biomarker testing. This type of testing can identify specific mutations and help your doctor create a personalized treatment plan.

Are you eligible for lung cancer screening? If you're 50-80 years old with a 20+ pack-year smoking history and currently smoke or have quit in the last 15 years, ask your doctor about low-dose CT screening. It could save your life!

Today we honor all who have served. Thank you to our Veterans for your courage, sacrifice, and dedication.

Today we also recognize that many Veterans face a higher risk for lung cancer due to service-related exposures. Together, we’re committed to raising awareness, supporting early detection, and ensuring every Veteran has access to the care they deserve. Encourage the Veterans you know to speak to their physician about whether lung screening is right for them.
