• The stage of disease at diagnosis strongly affects the prognosis for lung cancer patients. The most recent Nebraska data indicates that the 5-year relative survival rates for lung cancer are 61% for early-stage diagnoses, while rates for later-stage cases fall to 34% for regional diagnoses and 7% for distant diagnoses (2022).
• Screening for lung cancer with a yearly low-dose CT scan for those at high risk can reduce the lung cancer death rate by up to 20% by detecting tumors at early stages when they are more likely to be curable.
• In 2022, only 6% of Nebraskans at high risk for lung cancer were screened.
