November preview: This month, let's talk about lung cancer.
💙 November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month, and this month we're taking a closer look at a disease that affects hundreds of thousands of Americans every year.
What actually happens when someone develops lung cancer? Why does it occur? What's the difference between the types of lung cancer? How does it spread? And how do medical imaging examinations help physicians understand what's happening inside the body?
Throughout November, we'll explore:
🫁 The basics: What lung cancer is and the different types.
🔬 The causes: Smoking, radon, environmental exposures, and other risk factors.
🧬 The progression: How cancer cells grow, form tumors, and potentially spread.
📷 The imaging: How CT, low-dose CT, PET/CT, and other imaging examinations help physicians evaluate lung cancer.
We'll also discuss screening eligibility and what patients can expect during the imaging process. Our goal is simple: to make a complicated health topic easier to understand. Because knowing more about your health is always worthwhile.
Follow along this month and let's learn together!
