Verbatim
“Detecting lung cancer earlier can mean more treatment options, less intensive treatment and, ultimately, more lives saved.”
“Lung cancer is often diagnosed late because symptoms may not appear until the disease is more advanced. Lung screening is changing that by helping us detect cancers earlier, often before people notice anything is wrong.”
