By that time it can metastasize and be at a very late stage. So, just because you feel fine doesn\u2019t mean you shouldn\u2019t get screened.<\/p>\n<p>Obviously, you should not smoke yourself, but also avoid being around those who do. If you\u2019re at least 55 years old and you are (or were) a long-term smoker, it\u2019s advised to get screened with your physician.<\/p>\n<p>But wait, there&#8217;s more.<\/p>\n<p>People can get lung cancer who have never smoked a day in their lives. And remember, if it&#8217;s in there brewing away over time, you wouldn&#8217;t feel any symptoms anyway. For this simple reason, just go ahead and get screened if for nothing else but your peace of mind.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lung cancer is the second most common cancer in both men and women (not counting skin cancer), and is by far the leading cause of cancer death among both men &hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":9003,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[494],"tags":[554,553,350],"class_list":["post-9001","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-articles","tag-lung-cancer","tag-screening","tag-smoking"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mymedwellness.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Doc-holding-card-saying-Lung-Cancer-scaled.jpg?fit=2560%2C1671&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/s7Qv5g-9001","jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":6229,"url":"https:\/\/www.mymedwellness.com\/blog\/?p=6229","url_meta":{"origin":9001,"position":0},"title":"Cancer Awareness Month: Lung","author":"Will Clower","date":"October 15, 2018","format":false,"excerpt":"This is stunning: Worldwide, lung cancer is the most common malignancy and the most common cause of cancer deaths in the past few decades.
