Lung Cancer Screening
The goal of the CAMC Lung Cancer Screening Program is to detect lung cancer early, when it is most treatable.
Our approach to lung cancer screening
Our program provides a team approach with dedicated radiologists and nurse navigators, education on lung cancer screening and smoking cessation options.
A physician’s order is required for screening. Patients who meet the screening criteria will receive a low-dose radiation CT, and results will be provided to the patient’s ordering physician.
Am I a candidate for lung cancer screening?
You may be eligible for the low-cost screening program if you:
- Are between the ages of 50 and 77
- Have a smoking history equivalent to:
- Smoking one pack per day or more for 20 years
- Current or ex-smoker who has quit within the last 15 years
- Are not showing any signs or symptoms of lung cancer
Take the quiz to see if you should get screened.*
Our Lung Cancer Screening requires an order from your primary care provider. If you don’t have a provider, click the link to make an appointment with one of our primary care providers at CAMC.
