Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer-related death for men and women, outnumbering colon, breast and prostate cancers combined. If you are, or were a heavy smoker, you could be living with lung cancer, unaware.
Lung cancer usually does not present any symptoms till it is somewhat advanced, and only 15% of lung cancers are diagnosed in early stage. Early stage lung cancer is not only treatable, but often curable. If you are 55-74 years old or over 50 with a family history of lung cancer, you may qualify for our Lung Cancer Screening program, the only one of it's kind in San Joaquin County.
Lung Cancer Screening is now covered by Medicare Part B and all major insurances.
