Expert Screening for Lung Cancer
The lungs are a pair of organs located in the chest that supplies the body with oxygen and removes carbon dioxide from the body. There are two major types of lung cancer.

Eligibility and Risk Assessment
If you are at increased risk for lung cancer, you may be eligible for low-dose computed tomography (CT) lung cancer screening. The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommends annual screening for lung cancer with low-dose CT for individuals who meet all of the following criteria:
-
Ages 50 to 80
-
Current or former smokers who have quit within the last 15 years
-
History of heavy smoking, equivalent to at least 20 pack-years. A pack-year equals the number of packs smoked per day times the number of years smoked. For example, one pack smoked per day for 30 years equals 30 pack-years.
-
No signs or symptoms of lung cancer
Our program can provide an individualized assessment of your risk to help guide your decision about whether to undergo a low-dose CT screening.
