🎗️ Lung Cancer Awareness Month: Supporting early detection in firefighters

More than 300 firefighters in the Chicago and DeKalb areas are being offered lung cancer screening through @NorthwesternMed Lung Health Center this November.

The initiative recognizes the cumulative occupational exposures firefighters face throughout their careers, from smoke and diesel exhaust to other potentially carcinogenic substances.

Low-dose CT screening can help detect lung cancer before symptoms develop, when treatment may be more effective. Northwestern Medicine's Lung Health Center also aims to make screening more accessible and coordinate care from initial screening through follow-up.
