Lung cancer is the second most common cancer in both men and women, not including skin cancer. A man’s lifetime risk of developing lung cancer is 1 in 15, with only prostate cancer more common. A woman’s lifetime risk of developing lung cancer is 1 in 17, with only breast cancer more common.
In honor of Lung Cancer Awareness Month, Riverside invites you to share these video presentations and downloadable slides with your family, friends and community. Together, the more we share the message of early detection of lung cancer, the more lives we may impact.
