Lung cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among West Virginia residents. When cancer is found early with low-dose CT screening, patients can more often undergo minimally invasive surgery and have less lung tissue removed.

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
