November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month

Did you know that November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month? It's a great time to remind your patients about the importance of screenings, since approximately 1 in 14 Americans will be diagnosed with lung cancer during their lifetime. These screenings don't apply to smokers only - 18% of lung cancer patients have never smoked in their lives.
