As the leading cause of cancer deaths, more people die of lung cancer than colon, prostate and breast cancer combined. And if found after the disease has spread to other parts of the body, survival rates dramatically decrease. For this reason, early detection is crucial to survival — especially since symptoms can be confused with other, less deadly, respiratory problems. If you have a family history of lung cancer, smoke or have had long-term exposure to second-hand smoke, learn your risk with a Lung Health Assessment, offered free by Goshen Center for Cancer Care (Goshen, IN).


More cases of lung cancer are being diagnosed every day, and a good screening test could save many lives. Unfortunately, very few lung cancers are found early when they are still localized. And no lung cancer screening test has been proven to help reduce deaths associated with the disease. However, regular exams can help detect lung cancer early. In addition, a Lung Health Assessment can evaluate your personal risk for lung cancer. This assessment includes a Pulmonary Function Test, which determines the amount of air your lungs can hold, how quickly they move air in and out and how well they put oxygen into and remove carbon dioxide from your blood.

A Lung Health Assessment is quick and easy. And can be completed within minutes. Invest in your future by getting your free Lung Health Assessment and if necessary, a free follow-up evaluation with a pulmonologist. Staff from Goshen Center for Cancer Care will also be available to answer your questions. But space is limited, so registration is required. To schedule your assessment, complete the form to the right or contact us at 877.566.4660. If you’re at risk for lung cancer, finding it early could greatly increase your chance of survival.
