November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month, and Stewart Memorial Community Hospital (SMCH) is committed to raising awareness about the importance of early detection and prevention of this disease. The hospital is urging eligible community members to discuss a low-dose CT lung cancer screening with their providers to receive a referral.
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in both men and women in the United States. However, early detection can significantly improve survival rates. Stewart Memorial Community Hospital is proud to offer low-dose CT lung cancer screenings, a non-invasive procedure that can identify lung cancer at its earliest stages.
