What it is
Lung Cancer Screening with Low Dose CT
Lung cancer is by far the leading cause of cancer death among both men and women, making up almost 25% of all cancer deaths. Each year, more people die of lung cancer than of colon, breast, and prostate cancers combined.
Low-dose CT lung cancer screening is one of the simplest screening exams available and offers a wealth of information for the early detection of lung cancer and the most treatment options.
The exam is quick and involves a minimal level of radiation exposure.
