When discussing lung cancer and EarlyCDT–Lung, you refer to symptomatic and asymptomatic individuals. Why?
Information found at cancer.org and cancer.gov indicates that symptoms of lung cancer, such as a persistent cough, weight loss without cause, shortness of breath, constant chest pain and others often do not appear until the disease has reached an advanced stage. Early detection has been shown to improve the5–year survival rate for lung cancer.
