    Lung Cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in Wyoming. This November, let’s bring awareness to this disease and help a smoker start the process towards quitting.

    November is National Lung Cancer Awareness Month. Smoking is the leading cause of lung cancer with 85% of lung cancers being attributed to smoking. Early detection with CT screening has been found to lower the risk of death in certain high-risk persons based on their age, general health, and smoking history. Talk to your doctor about your risk for lung cancer.
