Veteran Health Update: VA's National Lung Cancer Screening Day

Lung cancer is the deadliest cancer among cancer-afflicted Veterans.  In honor of Lung Cancer Awareness Month, VA is proud to participate in the second annual National Lung Cancer Screening (LCS) Day.  This significant day coincides with Veterans Day (November 11) emphasizing VA's commitment to our Veterans.  We spoke with Dr. Chris Slatore, Chief Consultant, National Center for Lung Cancer Screening for the Veterans Health Administration, about the importance of this cancer screening awareness campaign and why for veterans from all eras, being screened is vital.
