Lung
November is National Lung Cancer Awareness Month. Lung cancer is Wyoming’s leading cause of cancer-related death. Smoking is the leading cause of lung cancer with 85% of lung cancers being attributed to smoking. Early detection with CT screening has been found to lower the risk of death in certain high-risk persons based on their age, general health, and smoking history. Talk to your doctor about your risk for lung cancer. To learn more about resources to quit smoking, call 1.800.QUIT.NOW.
