Advanced Screening for Early Signs of Lung Cancer

Lung cancer is the second most common cancer in men and women in the United States, but annual screenings are key to detecting cancer early and improving outcomes.

Our highly trained radiologists use low-dose computed tomography (CT) scans to check for early signs of lung cancer. Unlike a chest X-ray, this test takes many detailed images of your lungs, helping us better identify any possible issues. If you need follow-up testing, our radiologists and pulmonologists can help.

To take part in our program, you must meet certain lung cancer screening guidelines, including age, smoking history and other risk factors.

Why Is Lung Cancer Screening Important?
