Lung cancer is one of the biggest killers in the world. Never usually displaying symptoms untill it is too late. Regular 3-5 yearly screening in people who smoke or have a history of smoking or for people who have family history of Lung cancer or other health problems that higher the risk will hopefully lower the mortality rate and give people who develop this disease a fighting chance when it is at a stage where successfully treated.
