The most important change in the updated guideline from the American Cancer Society is that the number of years since quitting smoking is no longer a qualifier for starting or stopping yearly screening. That means a person who used to smoke with at least a 20 pack-year history, whether they quit yesterday or 30 years ago, is considered to have a high risk for developing lung cancer and should be screened with a yearly low-dose CT scan. Screening may or may not be right for you based on your other medical history -- if you have questions, it's important to talk with a doctor at Color about the benefits, limitations, and possible risks of screening.
