Did you know that lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in both men and women? Dr. Sammy Hanna, a pulmonologist and advanced bronchoscopist with Dignity Health, shares critical information on how you can reduce your risk and protect your health:
Quit Smoking: Smoking is the leading cause of non-small cell lung cancer. Quitting is tough, but your doctor can support you through counseling, ni****ne replacement therapy and prescription medications.
Get Screened: Early detection is key! You may be eligible for a low-dose yearly CT scan if you:
✅Are between 50 and 80 years old
✅Have a 20+ pack-year smoking history
✅Currently smoke or have quit within the last 15 years
Take control of your lung health today and speak with your physician about getting screened. 🩺✨
