Q: Why is early detection so important? A: The majority of lung cancers are diagnosed in the later stages of the condition. According to the American Lung Association, early detection of lung cancer with low- dose CT scans can lead to earlier treatment, decreasing the rate of lung cancer mortality by 14% to 20% for high-risk groups.
