Lung Cancer
Tobacco products are the cause of 95 percent of all lung cancers. Smoking cessation and avoidance of all tobacco-related products are the best methods for decreasing your chances of getting lung cancer.
Currently, there is no widespread lung cancer screening test available to the general public. The National Cancer Institute is conducting a national lung screening trial to study the effectiveness of a chest X-ray versus a spiral CT scan. Results will be published in 2010.
