Lung Cancer Screening

Should you be screened for lung cancer?

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in the U.S., with more people dying of lung cancer than breast, colon and prostate cancers combined.
 
The Lung Cancer Screening Program uses low dose computed tomography (LDCT) and screens patients at high-risk for lung cancer prior to becoming symptomatic. This potential life-saving screening may be right for you if you are a current smoker or have quit smoking within the past 15 years.
