CT Lung Cancer Screening

Lung cancer accounts for 33% of all cancer deaths across every ethnic group — yet only 16% of lung cancers are caught at the earliest, most curable stage. Low-dose CT lung screening changes those odds: studies show a 20% reduction in lung cancer deaths versus screening with X-ray alone.

The facts worth knowing

• 60% of lung cancer patients are former smokers who quit decades earlier
• 13% of lung cancer cases come from causes other than smoking — radon gas, asbestos and more
• Roughly 10% of men and 20% of women with lung cancer never smoked
• A lack of symptoms does not mean there are no cancerous cells present

Who should be screened

CT lung screening is specifically for people without symptoms who are at elevated risk — typically based on age and smoking history. You don’t need a “smoker’s cough” or any warning sign to qualify. If you’re unsure whether you meet screening criteria, call us and our scheduling team will help you find out.

Quick, painless, potentially lifesaving

The scan itself takes under five minutes with no contrast and no preparation. It’s covered by most insurance plans for eligible patients — and available through our transparent cash-pay pricing for those who prefer self-pay.
