Lung and bronchus cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in the United States. Smoking causes most lung cancers, but people who do not smoke can also develop lung cancer. Screening with low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) scans has been shown to decrease the risk of dying from lung cancer in individuals with heavy smoking history. This EBCCP program area includes programs promoting LDCT scans for early detection of lung cancer. See also EBCCP programs promoting tobacco cessation.
