More Americans die from lung cancer than from colon, breast and prostate cancer combined. The lung scan is the best means of detecting early lung cancer. It can locate cancer too small to be detected on an x-ray. It can also detect other lung damage such as emphysema or lung scarring. Ideal For: Current or former smokers. Those exposed to second-hand smoke or extensive air pollution. Those with a family history of lung cancer or those suffering from an inflammation of the lungs such as tuberculosis.
