November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month, and a newly released report shows far too few Nebraskans at high risk for lung cancer are getting the recommended screening. The American Lung Association s latest "State of Lung Cancer" report ranks Nebraska 33rd for lung cancer screening at less than 4% of those who are at risk. Julia McCarville, executive director of the American Lung Association in Nebraska, said although lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer deaths for both men and women, the nationwide outlook improved somewhat between 2015 and 2019. .
