Quick, painless, and covered by most insurance, screening can change outcomes.

🫁“We used to think lung cancer only affected smokers. Today, up to 20% of people diagnosed have never smoked. Radon exposure, wildfire smoke, and secondhand smoke all play a role, especially in Alaska.” -Dr. Michael Green, AROC Radiation Oncologist

🎗November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month. Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer death in both Alaska and the United States, but it doesn’t have to be. When found early, lung cancer is one of the most treatable cancers.

🩵A low-dose CT scan can detect lung cancer before symptoms appear. Early detection isn’t just medical, it’s personal. It saves lives.
