Anyone who is in the high risk of developing lung cancer may be pleased to know there is an annual lung cancer scan available which could catch early signs of lung cancer before symptoms develop.
If you have ever spent long periods working or socialising in polluted air space or have smoked tobacco(the NHS estimates 40% of smokers who started smoking in their teens and continue to smoke will not reach pension age) you may be wondering what your chances are of developing lung cancer.
A CT scan (or CAT scan) can safely be performed annually to check for lung cancer or other health problems. They are available in most developed countries in private hospitals, and you can even pay for them in some NHS hospitals in the UK. You may find that your health insurance can pick the costs also.
Dr. Marshall Schreeder at Clearview Cancer Institute in America said, “Clearly the people who get the yearly low dose CT scan have a better mortality, a better survival, because we pick up cancer of the lung at a very curable stage.”
Those who are at high risk may want to think about getting the scans done, especially those still being exposed to polluted air.

Some people who have early stages of lung cancer have found that yoga and breathing exercises have helped and in some cases, combined with chemotherapy and other treatments, have managed to combat the lung cancer.
