Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death among women and men. However, early detection leads to fewer lung cancer deaths each year. We offer a low-dose CT scan to look for potentially cancerous spots in people who are at the highest risk for developing lung cancer. For more info, visit https://bit.ly/3i3jaDf

Learning you have cancer is life-changing at any age. When you’re a teen or young adult, the diagnosis can feel especially jarring. Many adolescent and young adult patients with cancer have symptoms of anxiety and depression, which can affect mental and physical health, quality of life, and the ability to achieve life goals. The good news is that support is available.

UT Southwestern Simmons Cancer Center's psycho-oncology team helps patients cope with the emotional, psychological, and social impacts of cancer. The team focuses on supporting the whole person from diagnosis through treatment, survivorship, and beyond. Learn more: https://bit.ly/4pPHtH3
