Description

The #1 cause of lung cancer is smoking. Even if you stopped years ago, you could still be at risk depending on how much you smoked and for how long. The #2 cause of lung cancer is environmental exposure to radon. Dr. Vickie Fowler, a primary care physician from WakeMed is here to discuss both types of risk and how to know when to get screened.
