Lung cancer is most treatable when caught early. Centegra Health System is leading the way in early detection of lung cancer by offering a state-of-the-art CT Lung Screening. This simple, non-invasive 30-minute screening can effectively check the health of your lungs by providing detailed pictures and revealing any abnormalities as small as a pea.
This life-saving screening is recommended for men and women ages 55 to 74 years who are current or former heavy smokers. The National Cancer Institute (NCI) sponsored a nationwide study that determined that a screening using a CT Scan can reduce the odds of lung cancer mortality by 20%, compared to screening with a chest x-ray. The study included more than 53,000 participants. Learn more about the National Lung Screening Trial (NLST) on the American Cancer Society web page.
