 ### Lung Cancer Screening Information

Lung cancer screening is a low-dose chest CT scan to look for signs of lung cancer. Often, people with early stage lung cancer have no symptoms. The purpose is to find lung cancers in the early stages, when they are easier to treat and have a greater likelihood of being cured.
