Should you be screened for Lung Cancer?
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in the U.S., with more people dying of lung cancer than breast, colon, and prostate cancers combined. This potential life saving screening may be right for you if you are a current smoker or have quit smoking within the past 15 years; have a smoking history of 30+ pack years; and are between the ages of 55 – 77. Speak with your PCP to find out if you are a candidate and discuss your options. Good Samaritan Medical Center has received accreditation from the American College of Radiology in Computed Tomography and is designated as an ACR Lung Cancer Screening Center. Low Dose Computed Tomography (LDCT) screens patients at high-risk for lung cancer prior to becoming symptomatic.
Women’s Imaging Breast Imaging Center of Excellence
According to the American College of Radiology, breast cancer will affect an average of one in eight women sometime in their lifetime. It is the second most common cause of cancer related deaths in women. Numerous studies prove that early detection is a vital component in the successful treatment of breast cancer.
Digital mammography plays a central role in the early detection of breast cancer because it can detect changes in the breast
that may be early signs of cancer, but are too small or subtle to be felt. The use of digital mammography has greatly enhanced
the ability to detect breast cancer at earlier stages.
