Overview: Beyond detecting disease early, lung cancer screening provides an opportunity to encourage smoking cessation. In this episode, we review USPSTF guidelines, compare screening effectiveness, and explore how the use of a pulmonary function test (PFT) and a lung age estimator can help people who smoke better understand their risks and inspire behavior change.
