Lung cancer screening

Are you at risk for lung cancer? We can help.

At the Cancer Centers of Sharp HealthCare, we know that one of the best ways to beat lung cancer is to catch it early. That's why we offer low-dose CT lung screenings to help detect tumors earlier — when they're most treatable. And earlier detection means a better chance of long-term survival.

Is a low-dose CT lung cancer screening right for you?

Lung CT scans are endorsed by the American Medical Association, American College of Chest Physicians, American Thoracic Society, American Lung Association, American Cancer Society and the U.S. Preventative Services Task Force.

Most insurance plans, including Medicare, now cover these screenings for patients who qualify.

If you answered yes to all of the above, talk to your doctor about a referral to Sharp for a lung cancer screening or call 1-800-82-SHARP (1-800-827-4277).
