Join us at the OKC VA Medical Center on Thursday, November 16th from 9:00am - 12:00pm and let us see if you need a Lung Cancer Screening.

Did you know that having a low dose CT Lung Cancer screening with people over 50 years old who have smoked ci******es for many years can help to find lung cancer at an earlier, more treatable stage?

Low dose CT screening has reduced a person’s chance of dying from lung cancer. Annual screening for lung cancer is recommended for persons ages 50 to 80 who are current smokers or former smokers who have quit within the past 15 years and who have smoked ci******es for many years (at least 20 packs in a year timeframe or comparable to ½ a pack per day for 40 years or 2 packs a day for 10 years).

Also, it is important that persons considering lung cancer screening do not have medical conditions that result in poor health and limited expectancy.

Finally, screening for lung cancer looks for lung cancer before a person has any symptoms of cancer. If a person has symptoms of lung cancer like long-lasting cough, coughing up blood, or unexpected weight loss, they should talk to their doctor and get tested right away. Screening is not for persons with symptoms.

REMEMBER: The best way to prevent lung cancer is to stop smoking. If you are still smoking, talk with your VA health care team and call 1-855-QUIT VET to get help with quitting. We are here to help you!
