Expert Video - What questions should I ask my doctor about lung cancer screening?
Pulmonologist Dr. Annie Rusk of the Mayo Clinic Arizona reviews the importance of discussing lung cancer screening with your doctor and the types of questions you may want to ask, including: Why should I get screened when I feel well and don't feel sick? Where can I get the lung cancer screening test (low-dose CT scan)? How long will it take to get the results? Will someone explain the results to me in a way that I can understand? What are the next steps for my screening test? If you are a current smoker, ask your doctor about ways to quit smoking.
