Lung cancer screening

We also offer low-dose computerized tomography scans (LDCTs) for people who are considered at high risk for lung cancer. Lung cancer may not cause any noticeable symptoms until it is in advanced stages and is much harder to treat. This imaging test allows doctors to screen for lung nodules and offers hope for early detection when surgery is a potential option.

This high-risk group includes people who fit the following criteria:

  • Between 50 and 80 years old
  • Current or previous smoker who has quit within the past 15 years
  • 20 pack-year smoking history
    • Examples: 1 pack per day for 20 years or 2 packs per day for 15 years
  • No symptoms of lung cancer, such as fever, persistent cough, coughing up blood, chest pain, new shortness of breath or unexplained weight loss

If you fit the criteria for a lung screening, please contact your physician for more information.
