“What this really allows us to do is to catch younger patients, and even patients who haven’t smoked as much, and we can potentially catch more lung cancers earlier,” said Dr. Andy Labelle, a pulmonary critical care physician.
Labelle said many people with lung cancer don’t have symptoms until the cancer has progressed to a late stage, so screening is important.
