Pneumonia Infection and Early Lung Cancer Screening: Low-Dose Chest Examination
CT scanning is a method that can detect pneumonia infection and early stages of lung cancer. It can detect early and small tumors and roughly distinguish between benign and malignant tumors with a high accuracy. High-risk individuals such as those over 50 years old, smokers, frequently exposed to second-hand smoke, or those with a family history of lung cancer should undergo annual low-dose chest screening to reduce the risk of death from lung cancer.
