Is CA Screening for diagnosis required?
Hey doc I am 27 years old smoking cigarettes about 5 years now on an average of 3 to 5 a day. I stopped recently. I went for the pft and chest xray 2.5 months back which came back NORMAL.
Heard from my pulmonologist that CA screening is not required and this is your anxiety.
So wanted to ask you guys.
