What You Can Do

The best defense against lung cancer is something you’ve heard many times before: stop smoking. By some estimates, as many as 90 percent of lung cancer diagnoses could be prevented if cigarette smoking were eliminated. For help in breaking the habit, ask your health care provider for the most effective smoking-cessation programs. Other steps you can take include eating a well-balanced diet and eliminating exposure to asbestos and radon gas in your home and, if possible, your workplace.

Let Saint Mary’s help you become Tobacco Free for Good . Our free classes – offered year-round – are your first step in breaking the smoking habit! Click on the link above or call 616-336-3037 or 1-800-301-1733 for more information.

If you suspect that you may have lung cancer, the best strategy is to seek early diagnosis and treatment. Consult your physician and ask for a referral. Or call The Lacks Cancer Center at Saint Mary’s at 616-752-6714 to schedule an examination or to obtain a second opinion.
