For anyone not aware, as a current or ex smoker you should be getting an annual LDCT (low dose lung CT). I just had mine this morning.
If you meet the following criteria, you are considered to be at "high risk" for developing lung cancer and screening is recommended:
- 50-80 years of age
- Have a 20 pack-year history of smoking (this means 1 pack a day for 20 years, 2 packs a day for 10 years, etc.)
- AND, are a current smoker, or have quit within the last 15 years.
This can save your life.
