Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in the U.S., with an estimated 226,650 diagnoses and 124,730 deaths (approximately 340 per day) projected for 2025

Only 16% of high-risk individuals undergo lung cancer screening, despite 14.5 million Americans being recommended for screening; 62% of adults are unfamiliar with low-dose CT screening

Veterans are 25% more likely to develop lung cancer than the general public, with less than 3% of the 1-2 million eligible veterans getting screened
