Q. Can a doctor detect lung cancer with a chest X-ray?
Doctor Answer is medically reviewed by SecondMedic medical review team.
Yes, a doctor can sometimes detect lung cancer with a chest X-ray. However, since lung cancer often doesn't cause any symptoms until it's in an advanced stage, a chest X-ray is most effective at detecting the disease if it's done as part of a regular screening program for people who are at high risk for developing the disease.
