Recent studies show that those who screen early for lung cancer have a lower lung-cancer mortality rate (2.50 death per 1000 person years) than those who do not (3.30 deaths per 1000 person-years).

Early Detection matters! Nearly half of at risk patients who did not screen early had Stage IV lung cancer, whereas only 9.4% of those who have screened frequently were diagnosed with Stage IV lung cancer!
