Lung Cancer Screening Education Event

About the Event

Scripps Cancer Center invites local residents to learn about lung cancer screening at a free educational event on Friday, Nov. 8 from 9 a.m. to 12 noon at Scripps Medical Center Jefferson in Oceanside. Members of the Jana Oliphant Hackett Lung Cancer Screening Program at Scripps will be in the center’s first-floor lobby to share information and answer questions about this important, but underutilized screening. November is lung cancer awareness month, a time to educate the public about the importance of detecting this disease early, when treatments are often most effective. Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death in the United States and the second-most commonly diagnosed form of cancer. It is most often detected at a late stage, when it has already spread to other parts of the body. Scripps Medical Center Jefferson is located at 2205 Vista Way, Oceanside, 92054.
