Good Samaritan Medical Center Lung Cancer Screening Shows Results

 
Low Dose CT Screening has proven beneficial in diagnosing cancer early
 
Good Samaritan Medical Center began offering low-dose CT (LDCT) lung cancer screening to patients with a higher risk of developing lung cancer just over a year ago. The medical center anticipated their number of screenings to coincide with data from national trials of 150 in the first year.  However, in the last year Good Samaritan Medical Center has performed nearly 500 screenings.
