The third annual State of Lung Cancer report by the American Lung Association is out.
Spokeswoman Dona Wininsky notes that more than 4,000 people in Wisconsin will be diagnosed this year with the disease. The report looked at six indicators that include the number of new cases per state, early diagnosis and screening.
She says Wisconsin rates higher in most states in screening and lack of treatment. According to the report few people in the state don’t receive treatment.
She say the state falls at about the national average in all other categories. She suggests people take the Saved by the Scan quiz on the agency’s website.
