Dr. Kunal Sharma of Agilus Diagnostics advises adults over 60 to undergo lung cancer screening, noting that early symptoms are often dismissed as aging or seasonal allergies.
The recommended screening tool is a low-dose CT scan, which can detect abnormalities earlier than standard chest X-rays, especially for those exposed to pollution or smoking.
Warning signs that require medical assessment include a persistent cough lasting over three weeks, unexplained fatigue, chest pain, or shortness of breath after minor physical activity.
