Key to Surviving #1 Cancer Killer: Early Detection of Lung Cancer

November is National Lung Cancer Awareness Month, and we have our work cut out for us. Many Americans are woefully unaware that lung cancer is the leading cancer killer in the United States. The five-year survival rate for lung cancer is among the lowest of all types of cancers. Yet, when detected early, there are more potential treatments available and odds for survival are higher. Early detection is key to saving lives, and this November, the American Lung Association is urging all Americans to learn more, understand your risk and join the fight to defeat lung cancer.
