MISSION HEALTH: Lung Cancer Awareness Month

Mission Health issued the following announcement on Nov. 20.

During Lung Cancer Awareness Month, learn about the risk factors for lung cancer. 

According to the American Cancer Society, it's the second most common type of cancer (not counting skin cancer) and the leading cause of cancer-related death in the U.S. Watch our video for more information.

Yearly lung screening with low-dose CT (LDCT) has been shown to save lives by finding lung cancer early, when it is easier to treat. If you have any additional questions, please call 828-213-7543. 

You can also learn about screenings and schedule your lung screening here: https://missionhealth.org/.../low-dose-lung-screening.../
