Lung Screening

Lung Screening

Detect early indications of lung cancer before it's too late for treatment. According to the National Cancer Institute, 1 in 14 Americans will be diagnosed with lung cancer over their lifetime. Sadly, too few of those victims will identify their cancer in early, treatable stages.

Often when lung cancer is detected before symptoms are apparent, it's because a patient was being scanned for another reason. Now with advanced imaging technology, lung screening is available to the general public so patients don't need to wait for "accidental" discoveries. Our lung cancer screening captures signs of cancer development such as non-calcified nodules, cancerous nodules and early stage tumors.

According to the University of Maryland, common symptoms of lung cancer include:

  • A persistent cough that gets worse over time
  • Constant chest pain
  • Coughing up blood
  • Shortness of breath, wheezing, or hoarseness
  • Repeated pneumonia or bronchitis
  • Swelling of the neck and face
  • Loss of appetite or weight loss
  • Fatigue

Why choose a lung screening?

  • Early treatment is the key to treating lung cancer
  • The Lung Screening takes just 5 minutes
  • Those with long histories of smoking or other environmental pollution can benefit from the peace of mind that comes with regular lung screenings
