Early Detection Saves Lives in Lung Cancer | Madison News

Lung cancer kills more Americans than any other cancer—here’s how early detection and cutting-edge care at UW Health are turning the tide. With advanced screening, minimally invasive treatments, and even one-stop biopsy-surgery procedures under one anesthetic, they’re catching cancer before it spreads. Smoking and secondhand smoke are top risks—but radon, pollution, asbestos, and family history matter too. US guidelines say if you’re 50–80 with a smoking history, get screened—even if you’re still smoking. Early-stage lung cancer often has no symptoms, so a quick, painless low-dose CT scan could save your life. And while most nodules aren’t cancerous, don’t ignore them.
