If you had substantial exposure to asbestos and you smoked, it’s a no-brainer to get screened. At a minimum, when you’re going through your yearly physical, tell your physician about your previous smoking and/or occupational exposures to asbestos and demand an X-Ray.

Also contact Roswell Park, Strong Memorial Hospital, or some of these top hospitals in Western New York, ask about a screening program. If cancer is found early, it makes a difference for you. Please consider participating in a lung cancer screening program. It could save your life.
