Lung Cancer Awareness: Understanding Symptoms & When to Get Checked

Facts about Lung Cancer

November marks National Lung Cancer Awareness Month, a time dedicated to increasing education, encouraging early detection, and supporting those affected by the disease.

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.

Our Commitment to Lung Health

Our specialists work together to ensure patients receive comprehensive, compassionate care every step of the way.
