Lung cancer screening

Do you smoke or have a history of smoking? Know your risk. Early detection is key to treating lung cancer.

Should I be screened for lung cancer?

If you answer YES to the following questions:

  • Are you 50-80 years of age?
  • Do you currently smoke or have you quit in the last 15 years?
  • Do you have a smoking history of 20 pack years or more?

You are eligible for a low-dose CT lung cancer screening. The scan takes less than a minute and can detect lung cancer at its early stages when it is most treatable. Learn more information from the American Lung Association.
