Lung Cancer Screening Program

The Lung Cancer Screening Program provides education and tracking for patients with a significant smoking history who are at higher risk for lung cancer. Such patients may benefit from a screening program of yearly CT scans. In order to determine if lung cancer screening is right for you, please review the educational content (link below). Following the educational session, you will have an individual discussion with one of our Pulmonary physicians to discuss your thoughts, answer your questions, and enroll you in the program if it is right for you.
