Lung cancer is the most common cancer in both men and women. Unfortunately, it often goes undetected until later stages of the disease when it has already started wreaking havoc on your body. Although current and former smokers are most at risk, anyone can get lung cancer. Cardiothoracic surgeon Joseph Costic, DO, explains why it’s important to know symptoms and risk factors of the disease and why getting screened is important.
