Doctor urges lung cancer screenings
By Chien Hui-ju / Staff reporter
People who have cases of lung cancer in their family should ask their doctor for regular screenings, as the survival rate for lung cancer that is detected early is nearly 100 percent, a researcher at National Taiwan University said.
The remarks came after Taipei City Councilor Chung Pei-chun (鍾沛君) on Monday underwent surgery to remove tissue from her lungs believed to be cancerous. She was discharged on Friday.
Before her surgery, Chung wrote on Facebook that her mother and one of her aunts had died from lung cancer.
