Lung cancer screening
The American Cancer Society recommends annual low-dose CT (LDCT) lung cancer screening for people ages 50–80 who currently smoke or previously smoked and have a 20 pack-year history.
A pack-year equals smoking one pack per day for a year—for example, one pack daily for 20 years or 2 packs daily for 10 years.
