When should a doctor check for lung cancer?

Question by Jann: When should a doctor check for lung cancer?
My Dad was just diagnosted with lung cancer. It is stage 4 or 5. That’s very bad. He’d had cancers on his face removed, and many colonoscopies checking for pollups which they had to remove at least one. Shouldn’t they have checked elsewhere and found this before now?

Depends…did you father ever ask to be screened for lung cancer?
Colonoscopies are normal routine check men over 50 MUST go to.
Cancer on his face was visible to the Dr.
