Lung cancer screening remains less familiar to many Canadians, despite being a crucial and accessible way to protect health.
According to the Lung Health Foundation, it's essential to know if screening is right for you and when to talk to your primary care provider.
Every year, thousands of Canadians wonder if they should get screened for lung cancer.
Unlike other organized cancer screening programs, lung cancer screening works differently, requiring a few steps to determine eligibility.

The Lung Health Foundation can guide you through this process to help protect your health.
