A low-dose CT scan can detect lung cancer early, even before symptoms start. Dr. Amal El-Bakush from Mercy’s Pulmonology Clinic shares how her patient Larry benefited from saying yes to screening—and how early detection made all the difference. If you’re 50–80 and have a history of smoking, ask your doctor about a low-dose CT lung screening. It’s quick, usually covered by insurance, and could save your life.
