Lung Cancer Assessment

Disclaimer: This tool is intended to be a guide only. The results of this assessment should not replace the medical advice from your physician. If you have any questions about your risk of lung cancer, you should consult your physician.

1) Are you a current smoker or have you quit smoking within the past 15 years?

Yes

2) Are you aged 55 to 79?

Yes

3) Have you smoked the equivalent of 30 pack-years or more?

Yes

Determining Your Pack Year
Individuals can determine their pack-years by multiplying the number of years they smoked by the number of packs they smoked per day. For example:

2 packs per day for 5 years = 10 pack-years

1 pack per day for 10 years = 10 pack-years

A person reaches 30 pack-years of smoking history by smoking a pack a day for 30 years or two packs a day for 15 years and so on.

4) Are you in generally good health (a “yes” means you do not currently have any serious medical problems and do not have a previous history of lung cancer or serious lung disease).

Yes
