Lung Cancer Awareness: Understanding Symptoms & When to Get Checked

Recognizing the Symptoms

Lung cancer can develop quietly, especially in its early stages. While symptoms can vary, some of the most common include:

• Persistent cough that doesn’t improve
• Chest pain or shortness of breath
• Coughing up blood
• Fatigue or unexplained weight loss
• Recurrent lung infections

If you or a loved one experience these symptoms, it’s important to speak with a healthcare provider. Early detection saves lives.

Who Should Consider Screening?

Lung cancer screening with low-dose CT (LDCT) is recommended for adults who:

• Are 50–80 years old
• Have a 20-pack-year smoking history
• Currently smoke or quit within the last 15 years

Screening can significantly improve outcomes by detecting cancer earlier, when treatment is most effective.
