Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths in America, according to the American Lung Association. If you’re at risk for #LungCancer: the good news is that regular screenings can find lung cancer early, when it's most treatable. Not sure if you should get screened? If you smoked, consider taking the American Lung Association’s risk quiz. It can help you find out if you should talk to your doctor about screening. Get details and start the quiz here: https://bit.ly/48OVNqW Schedule your lung cancer screening at (912) 350-LUNG (5864). #ImproveMoreLives #LungCancerAwareness

According to the American Lung Association, the lung cancer survival rate has increased by 52% over the past 10 years thanks in part to better early detection for those at greatest risk for lung cancer. If you are over 50 and have ever smoked (even if you don't now), please get screened. If you are at risk for lung cancer, ask your doctor about CyPath Lung, a noninvasive test that helps detect early-stage lung cancer with high sensitivity and high specificity. #lungcancer #lungcancerscreening #lungcancersurvivor #cypathlung #loveyourlungs #earlydetectioncansavelives

November is National Lung Cancer Awareness Month—a good time to highlight the importance of early detection. Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer deaths in the U.S., but early screening can significantly improve survival rates. The American Lung Association emphasizes the life-saving potential of low-dose CT scans for high-risk individuals. These scans can detect lung cancer at its earliest stages, when treatment is most effective. You can learn more about screening here: https://lnkd.in/eC26PfxA Early detection saves lives. This month, take a moment to encourage those at risk to get screened. #LungCancerAwareness #SavedByTheScan #EarlyDetectionSavesLives

🫁 Following up on World Lung Cancer Awareness Day in August, it's the ideal time to highlight the crucial role of low-dose CT scans in early detection and screening 🫁 Lung cancer remains one of the deadliest forms of cancer, often going undetected until it's too late. However, early detection through Low-Dose CT (LDCT) scans can dramatically improve survival rates. By catching lung cancer in its early stages, treatment becomes more effective, offering a better chance at recovery.

𝗡𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝗣𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗹: 𝗦𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗼𝗻 𝗹𝘂𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 As we enter November Pearl, it's a critical time to reflect on lung cancer, which remains the leading cause of cancer-related death in France. The 5-year net survival rate is only 20%, highlighting the need for greater awareness, early detection and breakthrough treatments. Most cases are still diagnosed at an advanced stage, though early intervention can make all the difference. This month, let's work together to raise awareness of lung cancer and the importance of developing breakthrough treatments. #NovemberPearl #LungCancerAwareness #EarlyDetection #Innovation #Healthcare
