The next life saved may be your patient's.
National Lung Cancer Screening Day not only raises awareness for lung cancer screening, but opens up screening facilities nationwide on a Saturday, allowing more people to get screened or removing barriers for those who can’t get screened during regular business hours.
The facts:
- Lung cancer is the #1 cause of cancer death in Nevada.
- 1,800 Nevadans will be diagnosed with lung cancer this year.
- Just 7.4% of eligible Nevadans have been screened for lung cancer.
On Saturday, November 8 multiple screening sites in Nevada will open their doors to screen people for lung cancer. Be sure to refer your patients to one of these sites:
- Comprehensive Cancer Centers of Nevada
- Humboldt General Hospital
- Personalized Imaging Consultants (part of Cancer Care Specialists)
- Renown Health
- Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center
