Lung cancer screening
Lung cancer may not cause any noticeable symptoms until it is in advanced stages and is much harder to treat. We offer low-dose computerized tomography scans (LDCTs) if you are considered a high risk for developing lung cancer. This allows our doctors to screen for lung nodules, and offer hope for early detection when surgery is a potential option.
If you are unsure of your risk status, you may be considered a high-risk person if you meet the following criteria:
- Between 50 and 80 years old
- Current or previous smoker who has quit within the past 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
- 20 pack-year smoking history
- For example, one pack per day for 20 years or two packs per day for 15 years
- For example, one pack per day for 20 years or two packs per day for 15 years
If you fit the criteria for a lung screening, please contact your physician for more information.
