Lung Cancer Screening and Lung Nodule Evaluation Program |

If you are at a high risk for developing lung cancer, you may be eligible for a lung cancer screening CT scan. This test helps us catch lung cancers at an early stage, when they can be treated more effectively.

Before scheduling a screening, you need a referral from your primary care provider or to speak to one of the clinicians at BMC's Lung Nodule Clinic. They can help you understand the risks and benefits of this test and if lung cancer screening is right for you.

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.

Check Your Risk for Lung Cancer

Deciding whether or not to get screened for lung cancer can be difficult. Your doctor can help you understand the risks and benefits and make the right decision for your situation. These tools can also help you better understand your chance of developing lung cancer.

Reduce Your Risk of Lung Cancer

The best way to reduce your risk of lung cancer is to not smoke and not use any form of tobacco.
