Early detection of lung cancer is key to significantly decreasing deaths from this disease. If detected at an early stage, many patients can be treated and cured. To save lives a lung cancer screening for those at high risk should be considered.
MyMichigan offers Lung Cancer Screening Clinics in the MyMichigan pulmonology offices for those who meet the criteria of being at high risk for the disease. This ensures that persons with a positive finding will receive further diagnosis and treatment in a timely manner.
