Lung Cancer Screening

Imagine your lungs are like a big tree with lots of branches. Sometimes, a tiny bad seed, like a cancer cell, can start growing on one of those branches. Lung cancer is when this happens, and it's a really serious problem. In fact, the American Lung Association says it causes more cancer deaths than any other kind in the US.

But here's the good news: if doctors find that bad seed early, when it's still small, people have a much better chance of getting better.

Important Discussion with Your Doctor:

It's important to talk to your doctor to determine if a biopsy is right for you and which type of biopsy is best for your specific situation. Ask your doctor about:

• The risk of complications for each biopsy option
• Their success rate in reaching small nodules in hard-to-reach areas.
• How often they are able to make a diagnosis based on the biopsy sample.
• How to schedule a lung screening
