LUNG CANCER FACTS

Lung cancer is by far the leading cause of cancer death among both men and women, making up almost 25% of all cancer deaths.¹²

The survival of patients with lung cancer at 5 years after diagnosis is only 10% to 20% in most countries.¹³ 

Screening with low dose computed tomography (CT) for high-risk individuals (current and former heavy smokers) can help diagnose cancer early, when successful treatment is more likely.²
