SAN FRANCISCO (KCBS RADIO) - Lung cancer is one of the most lethal cancers in the United States, responsible for one in four cancer deaths.

While many people are familiar with screenings like mammograms for breast cancer and colonoscopies for colorectal cancer, lung cancer screening is less widely known.
