Lung cancer screening

When lung cancer first starts, it has no symptoms. That’s why it’s important to get screened, even if you feel well. Finding lung cancer early means doctors can usually treat it and help people get better.

Lung screening is for people who:

• Are 50 to 70 years old
• Have no signs or symptoms of lung cancer
• Currently smoke or have quit smoking in the past 10 years
• Have a history of tobacco cigarette smoking of 30 pack-years or more. Your doctor, nurse or health worker will talk to you about your smoking history to see if you are eligible for lung screening.

Yarn with your doctor, nurse or health worker to learn more about lung screening.
