If you smoke, stop smoking. Try to avoid second-hand smoke. There is no conclusive evidence that screening for lung cancer with chest X-rays or CAT scans is beneficial for patients at high risk of developing non-small cell lung cancer. However, some recent studies have suggested that specialized CT scans called "spiral CAT scans" may help improve cure rates by detecting lung cancer at an earlier stage. This is still under investigation, and such screening is not considered the standard of care. |
