Your Health, Our Priority
Lung cancer is one of the most common cancers in the U.S., and early detection is critical. That’s why we encourage individuals at risk—especially those with a history of smoking or exposure to environmental hazards—to schedule regular screenings.
Understanding Risk Factors
Knowing your risk can save your life. Common factors include:
Smoking and secondhand smoke exposure
Environmental toxins such as radon and asbestos
Family history of lung cancer
If you fall into any of these categories, we recommend speaking with one of our specialists about screening options.
