Q&A: would should I do to minimize my chance of dying from lung cancer?

Question by Lucas: would should I do to minimize my chance of dying from lung cancer?
I smoked for 4 years in my 20s. I’ve quit and haven’t smoked for years. But the risk of lung cancer still scares me. I’m 36 now. I hear lung cancer is a deadly disease once you get it, but I heard it’s curable if discovered early, is that true?

What are my chances of getting it, and if I do get it, what do I need to do to make sure I discover it early? Getting screened every 6 month after a certain age?

Answer by Gilda
If you don’t have chest pain or aren’t coughing up excessive phlegm or blood, don’t worry about it.
